I don't think it even matters whether the ghost hunter thing is real (I fully believe it is) the fact is that DSP refuses to experiment with things because of his schedule autism/excuse gymnastics routine. He won't put in a single shred of effort unless he gets paid first or has a guaranteed income. This has already been abundantly clear for ages.This actually tracks as pretty believable to me because I recall a rare case of modern eruh phil oversharing (by his standards) and telling someone he and Kat liked watching animal themed shows and ghost hunting shows as well. I'm sure you can add Discovery Plus to the list of subscriptions he's paying for since OG reality tv douchebag Zak Bagans from Ghost Adventures has always seemed like the sort of guy that phil would want to emulate.
Don't give me shit for watching this trash it was during Covid lockdown and we needed something other than phil that was fake and gay to laugh at lol. This guy always had a whiff of taking his khantent way too seriously when it's literally just a guy yelling at himself in the dark. Dressed like a Hot Topic Screamo groupie in the older episodes, totally used to be jacked dood and the only thing that seemed real about him was his desire to bully one of his Aspy-diagnosed co-hosts in almost every episode during the Golden Age of Phil circa 2011.
If phil thought Wrestling was real until John Rambo explained it was all fixed to him on Smark Guys he probably still thinks these cookie cutter ghost chasing shows (there seems to be about 50 of them out there now) are actually real as well since no one's told him otherwise.
The biggest problem with that is that he basically never experiments with different content styles or ideas at all. And sure, some experiments will fail and suck but he basically does nothing which means every stream is just a 2 hour long prestream therapy session and then 12 hours of him pretending like he gives a fuck about games that he really doesn't care about.
People on this subforum and also on tweeter have been saying since like 2018 that he should try some wrestling stuff because he's obviously passionate about it. Instead he sits and lies how he doesn't even watch WWE anymore and does nothing with it until PPP comes along and tries (unsuccessfully) to get DSP to hone one of his passions into a workable thing. If DSP bothered and put in some passion and energy into it then I think people would've cut him some slack: but he doesn't fucking do anything.
