Has his income being going down though? I know he made tens of thousands apprantly via KC but no that's dead I think he's been making less and less money on average that ever before.
He has actually been making siginificantly more money than usual since the KC arc ended. The whales mobilised to support him, we'll see how long that lasts.

I don't remember seeing this in his pre-show reel before. This might actually be the gayest slide yet, and that's counting the "ally" one that was literally gay.
That slide was there before years ago. I think Phil started it after numerous mods snaked on him which he bitched about on stream.
 
The way I see it is that he is stupid, but he KNOWS he's stupid. And being aware of his limited brain power, instead of learning something, he choses to play up his stupidity. It isn't enough that he doesn't know how to put LEGO together. He has to put it on backwards while glaring at the chat and throwing a fit.
That would mean DSP is self-aware. I think he's more just intellectually lazy as fuck.
 
I was thinking about this today. The way I see it is that he is stupid, but he KNOWS he's stupid. And being aware of his limited brain power, instead of learning something, he choses to play up his stupidity.
You cannot play it up like this for a decade. He obviously lies about having experience in something to prevent people from realizing that he is stupid (and he is not good at it even) but he cannot be playing the chess and lego stuff up given how there is a repeated, decade-long record of him being a thumbtack around video games.

His live viewership is quite significant. Last year he was about 300 live, but with the amounts mentioned earlier, it means he has lost about 30% of his live audience. I kid you not, by the end of this year at this rate, he is going to be at 100 live.

As for his whales, he is making goals at the moment, but it is not only unsustainable, but also not worth the effort. Phil is too boring. If you whale on someone like PWR, he has an organic response. This response means different whaling attempts yield a different response each time, unlike Phil's, which is "thanks."
 
I do think Phil is going to respond to the dropping viewership. So what’s the pivot? Bloodsports with detractors? I can’t think of any avenue of drama left otherwise.
Why would he, he's used to low views and expects 300 dollars a day still. The troll views are probably around 70-120 of his 200 views if not higher he has like a dozen real fans if that

Drama is the only thing that can pop the numbers like actual legit drama and not just Smark Guys slop but he doesn't seem to want to do it at all now. He refuses to just stick to one game and build an audience like most streamers do and skips a lot of popular games so I don't think anything gaming will ever do shit for him again viewer wise.

If the "Hardcore Gaming Season" shows no improvement I think day streams will start moving off of gameplay entirely since all of the money comes in during podcast or last minute begging anyways and he knows it. He doesn't even want to play fighting games anymore and is skipping all upcoming fighting games even though they are getting huge marketing pushes. He would have actual day 1 viewers for MOTW or 2XKO but flat out said he won't play either of them.

Like listening to this Q&A after Atomfall and he just sounds like he fucking hates everything and is just begging his ass off. The content has never been worse. Meanwhile KC has 4.2k live viewers reacting to Rekeita while making thousands.
 
Couple things:

1)Expect a very upset boardroom meeting tomorrow. You can tell he was fucking pissed at the end of the stream tonight. He probably expected to hit 1k+ on the wrestling stream today. Then you had the evening stream which was even more kick sock accs only donating (only 2 subs though) and Gamerstevie/kingdomheartsfan under a new name dumping almost all the money. Still didn't hit the goal.

2)He went "Why do you guys always ask me the same questions all the time?" Gezz, is it because you do 2 hours of Q&A everyday?

3)He's gonna play Doom Dark Ages even though he said during the trailer reveal that he wasn't. Great 180 there. Same thing with the Oblivion remaster.
