DSP wished he had as much personality and charisma as a pod person.

 

[Corpun]

He's said the retired early line multiple times before. If it is true, he's not gonna stay retired long if he's spending thousands a month on a grown ass man. But then again, you don't retire early if you're bad with money, so probably a lie.

Given the intellect and personality of his known dents, it is probably a LARP to seem cool and awesome. Think about all of OIC's larping about what he really is. Every big whale seems to like to act like they have infinite money and are loaded for life because they're retards who think that will impress people. It makes his dolphins and 50-bit bitches seem normal by comparison.

I feel like you can tell who the "real" whales are by how long they stick around. I think the real whales have a very limited shelf-life, where they stumble onto Phil, throw around a huge amount of money to get their kicks, but then they quickly grow bored and move onto the next thing to waste their money on. Tut is probably the best example of that. And while he wasn't trolling like Tut was, E7 seemed like another example.

But the whales who stick around and continue to donate paycheck after paycheck while pretending to be rich or retired or whatever? I'm not buying it. There's not enough entertainment value from Phil and Phil doesn't provide them with anything. Basically, they don't need Phil, he really is just a momentary distraction for them. The ones who stick around, they need Phil. If not Phil directly, they need to feel important by "saving" Phil, or like you said, impressing retards with their LARP.

I'm in the camp of thinking most of Phil's whales are just average Joe's. They have middle-class jobs, pay their bills/rent, and then instead of saving money or having hobbies, they just drip feed their paychecks into Phil's Champions and Doordash accounts. I feel like with most of us, if we break down our finances and take out the bare essentials, we'd be able to match Phil's whales in donation intensity. We just don't do that because, while we're all a little autistic just from following Phil in the first place, we aren't retarded.

Dood I can't cook, I work 6 days a week and the like.

More seriously I think having khet cook reheat everything is part of the mature adult LARP. He really has a twisted view of what a couple does.

This is the dude who had to make Hamburger Helper by himself because Kat had to go in late to her shift and he not only took over an hour to make it, he also was confused by the concept of food being hot and burned his mouth repeatedly because he couldn’t figure out to either blow on his food or eat from the edges inwards.

Totally agree. You don't have to make a lot of money to appear as if you are a rich retired crypto bro on DSP's stream. You just stop saving/spending on anything for yourself and give it all to him and you'd be a top 2 whale for him. Timbo went bankrupt multiple times donating to DSP and other lolcows I believe. It takes much more money and consistency to be noticed on any bigger stream. I've only ever taken note of a big donator on other streams when it comes to a charity stream where one guy will give thousands or something. Even if they are still being bad with their money at least it's going somewhere better than Scopely.

I think that is the reason DSP seems to be able to attract whales to an unusual degree. He is a very special combination of being infamous but also being incredibly small so you can donate to someone that a lot of people know of and become a big character on his stream easily. You could do this with any small streamer, but if you are a fucking freak like these people you won't get the humiliation you are looking for from anyone else. They don't want appreciation they want the attention and humiliation.

Like if Phil buys $10,000 worth of equipment for his """business""" and writes it off he doesn't owe the government another $3,333 of taxes on that $10,000 of income he spent. Hopefully you sort of understand why when Phil says he spent $10,000 to "lower my tax burden" it's completely retarded because Phil is still -$10,000 instead of being +$6,666 after paying the government the $3,333 income tax burden on that $10,000 of income.

Exactly, "writing off" is only a net benefit if you're either making up expenses (i.e. fraud) or writing off your necessary and unavoidable expenses (great!). Any expense that could be cut, is always better to not occur in the first place, instead of writing off some part of your frivolous spending off your taxes. On the other hand, I can definitely imagine a mongoloid like Phil using the "I can write it off" as some kind of excuse to keep spending, especially considering how 'painful' his 'surprise' taxes are every year. He might even feel good about stupid spending, because he's dreading tax season so much.

I mean its probably the same mentality he applied to credit cards/finances in general:
"oh, you mean I can have not just one of these, but 14? and multiple mortgages for properties!"
"oh, you mean I can just pay the absolute bare minimum on my mortgage every single month? great!"
"oh, you mean I have $1000 in my bank account right now and these lootboxes on WWE Champions cost $950, so I can spend it all?"
"oh, you're telling me I still have $10,000 USD remaining in business expenses I can file this year? Gotta spend it all"

It's like if something is available he has to apply for it and use it fully, even if in the long term it is fucking himself over. I guess you could call it a trait of having an addictive personality or otherwise a trait of pushing boundaries/sensation seeking - you can't just have 3 credit cards, you have to push shit to the absolute limit.

It's just him failing the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment every time it has been put in front of him. He's utterly incapable of leaving it the fuck alone in order to have more marshmallows later.

I also assume his accountant or whatever told him about "necessary and ordinary business expenses" and DSP thought that meant "a bunch of RGB lighting bullshit that you can only sell for 20% of it's original value if it doesn't break within 20 days" whereas for some other business it might mean buying more actual equipment (like a new work car or drills) and that business can leverage the new asset to create additional income or offer new services that make more money.

I mean I guess in some sense the RGB lighting shit could increase his attention/income (there's certainly hundreds if not thousand of tweets and videos that have been making fun of him for it) but they don't really do much. He did at least buy some modern PCs (several of them apparently) which can actually play games and improve his streaming setup.

But arguably if he knew what he was doing he could've just bought one computer and a minimalist setup because having 10 computers and 300 different RGB lights is basically the same output as having one computer and one set of RGB lights.

AI told me he could've spent it on this bizarre thing too: Contribute to a SEP-IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or 401(k) – If you’re self-employed, maximizing retirement contributions can lower your taxable income.

He apparently could've even hired a video editor (part time or just on contract) to edit a few videos and make them palatable for a wider audience or on new platforms.

Good point, tho Im sure it helps us greatly that we're not into the whole "being humiliated by a pear shaped 42 year old fatass slob streamer with a 62 IQ for the morning chub my high school crush never gave me" thing. Something whales like Timbo never got and never will (I feel sorry for their families having to deal with such parasites) is that its one thing to, say, save a 50 from your paycheck to get the 40+ hours of content Shadow of the Erdtree expansion you'll add to your 60 hours long first Elden Ring playthrough; its another thing to vomit 1000 dollars on fucking DSP, who will lie straight to your face about 75% of them not going into Scopely's ever increasing, retarded whale fueled net worth, and be forgotten in 5 days. Idiots.

Phil just shouted the word "RETARD" again on the podcast!

Phil has said a lot of dumb things before, this might be the dumbest one:

 

[King of Hateful Slurs]

Ashton (I call him triple P) has suddenly made me very interested in this upcoming interview.

 

[Iron Hamster]

I wish he would give up doing these "interviews". He's a boring interviewer, and he only brings people onto his Level 1 Crycast in hopes of trying(and failing)to pignotize them into being on his side when it comes to detractors and things that are objectively true about him.

He's just loves to waste other people's time.

I see people say this pretty frequently and I always get the impression that they think "write it off on your taxes" = you get it for free.
All of Phil's money comes from his """business""". If Phil buys a $60 game he also owes the government another $20 in taxes on the income he used to buy that game. If he buys a $60 game for his """business""" and writes it off on his taxes he is still -$60, he just doesn't owe the government another $20 on that $60 of income that he spent on his """business""". He still spent it, he's just at -$60 instead of -$80.
Like if Phil buys $10,000 worth of equipment for his """business""" and writes it off he doesn't owe the government another $3,333 of taxes on that $10,000 of income he spent. Hopefully you sort of understand why when Phil says he spent $10,000 to "lower my tax burden" it's completely retarded because Phil is still -$10,000 instead of being +$6,666 after paying the government the $3,333 income tax burden on that $10,000 of income.

Phail has no idea how bad he's fucked this year.
