DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[San Dimas High School]

There wasn't a whole lot of Valentine's themed games either.

I think this marathon was more about how he set up his LED lights than anything else.

He did give a weird little dissertation on his autistic rules for Valentines day. Which were something like only boys should give girls valentines, and only if they're madly in love, and only one total valentine should be given unless you are in 2nd grade, and under no circumstances would he be giving anyone a valentine.

At some point chat taught him that different places do valentines day differently and that was a surprise to that 43 year old man.

I guess nobody believes that he is able to save via 401k

lol the faggot can't even be bothered to set aside money for taxes every year

 

[strandedcastaway]

This underperforming marathon led me to a realisation: I always had in my mind that Phil earns more than me, but is an idiot and wastes all his money and that's why he has a khando to show for and that's that (besides tech that depreciates with 1% per month according to accounting standards). But this year I calculated it again out of interest, and Phil earns now roughly the same amount as I do per year while being almost ten years older, "working" a day more per week and has to be a begging clown on the Internet for it. As far as I understand the American retirement system, Phil hasn't got anything more than social security (I guess nobody believes that he is able to save via 401k, he also never said that afaik). He has no benefits like being able to purchase the product / services of the company you work at cheaper, or discounts for partner companies or reimbursements for public transport, gyms, employee stocks etc. This guy is living on borrowed time, fully depending on dents and dentractors for the rest of his life. I am not American, but at this point, wouldn't it make more sense to reduce streaming hours and work a part time job and have at least some security/ benefits / career & retirement options? Dents might even increase the tips / h amount. As far as I get it right now, he earns above US average, but he's not strictly well-off unlike 5 years ago when only tips counted and the rest was bonus. Especially if we think about a bum with a college degree who should by now have made a career himself, became a specialist in his field or some sort of team leader. But I talk about Phil, I don't think he is able to find work or hold on to a job for more than a week. Of course, there is also fat Khat who might or might not work part-time.

I would like to read the thoughts of US citizens (not resiDents, ackackack) about this topic.

I disagree with most of this. According to Piece of Peace (who tracked his income for years) and our current salary tracker on Kiwi (sorry I forget your name, no disrespect), Phil has made more than $100,000 a year for many years, and made $147,000 last year. That is way, way more than he could make in a part-time minimum-wage job, so it would make zero sense for Phil to quit streaming to do that.

Phil MAKES plenty of money, he just SPENDS all of it the minute he gets it rather than saving. That and the sheer begging desperation in so many streams are why he comes off as such a failure.

The part you got right was his talk the other day about how he'll need Social Security to live and it will probably be gone by the time he is retired. That's insane for someone who not only makes $150,000 a year but never goes anywhere or does anything fun with the money, has no kids to support, etc. It's just a total failure at life planning.

 

[smug comporon]

Deadlock he skipped every tutorial didn't know what was going on and fake hyped it a bit as an invite only game. He got trolled but still said he might still play it again.

I only watched clips, but it seemed like he didn't buy a single item the entire game? I guess when you're an Evo East champion you don't need any of those gimmicks, just raw mechanics.

 

[Elite Kipchak]

Here in these US of A, where our government provides us fucking nothing, when you get a real job thats not at BestBuy, your benefits package is a really big part of your pay, how many vacation days, how much do they match in retirement contributions, healthcare etc, Phil not having any of that, if he actually payed into his retirement, actually payed into savings, got good healthcare, he have no money left over for his trinkets, and that's not to mention no vacations which despite what reddit wants you to think, that would be unhinged for anyone supposedly making six figures. Basically he makes less money than he fronts because he is borrowing from his future to have RGB keyboards now.

he is spiritually a nigger. like niggers, he cannot understand something as abstract as the future and lives entirely in the now. I'd estimate his foresight extends about a week into the future, and it's gotten shorter over the years. retirement is not his problem because it's not on the schedule this week. same with taxes, etc. if he lives long enough to even get to that point, I wonder if he will be able to regret his actions or will be too far gone and blame doody or something for a lifetime of failing to save despite making millions over his career.

 

[Burn In Hell Burnell]

It will never not be jarring to see the numbers he gets on his average videos and then think about the fact he somehow still consistently makes six figures in income.



Like if I was a 20 year content creator getting numbers like this I would simply shoot myself. Or, you know, get a job. But what do I know! 200 view gameplay videos, clearly this is a great long term income source for the next 30 years!

Even crazier is that he really does do what he thinks is best for views, talks about views often enough and even does on stream view count audits and does probably 1-2 hours of extra "work" a day trying to increase those views.

He could just leave stream vods up and pay Darziak whatever percentage of the video $ to cut together gameplay from the vods and make as much or more money because he wouldn't fuck up his metrics or watch time that way.

He legit is killing his channel with what he is doing and is quickly shifting his entire income to donations. He is so far behind the YouTube meta it is actually insane almost every single action he takes is a negative for his channel currently.

I'd bet everything that he's going to try and defraud disability, IF he wasn't such a lazy POS. It's going to take many doctor appointments and paperwork and lawyers. And Phil isnt the type to invest a few bucks to make a lot. He only throws money away.

Exactly why I think disability will not be an option. Firstly, it pays next to nothing so he wouldn't survive on it anyway. But secondly, doctors and lawyers are time consuming and costly, especially for a cheap lazy bum without insurance.

Better question: Will Phil bend over backwards and memory hole everything he's said about Keemstar to work with him once the dent money dries up, and he can't beg his way out of another bankruptcy?

Phil never cashes out when he's up. I don't doubt that he'll crawl begging to Keem eventually; he's certainly not above it... but by that time there will be no interest from Keem or anyone else.

he is spiritually a nigger. like niggers, he cannot understand something as abstract as the future and lives entirely in the now. I'd estimate his foresight extends about a week into the future, and it's gotten shorter over the years. retirement is not his problem because it's not on the schedule this week. same with taxes, etc. if he lives long enough to even get to that point, I wonder if he will be able to regret his actions or will be too far gone and blame doody or something for a lifetime of failing to save despite making millions over his career.

I think he's worse actually. At least njggers buy clothes, jewelry and cars. Things that can be resold or provide possible access to avenues you may not otherwise have; attract intrigue from others, etc. Philip is just burning every dollar to ash. Wearing ratty jerseys from 18 years ago and neglecting his plumbing while he blows 500-1k in 3 hours scrolling. I bet he has less than 2k in the bank at any given time. Probably still owes more than half on his condo. All it'll take is one big medical bill and he's fucked.
His best option would be to do uber. He's beaten this dead horse so long he's rendered himself unemployable and inevitably unemployed.

If Phil was smart (lol) he would have been putting money aside from his dent bucks into 401k, Roth IRA, dividend earning stocks or any asset that appreciates over time. It’s been pointed out already that he has no foresight or ability to save for the future. The amount of assets he could be sitting on right now would carry him through retirement age once the streaming is no longer viable. Instead he blew all that cash on gin, sweaty man jpegs, RGB lights and DoorDash slop for his mo-wife. I think Snort Hogan’s thumbnails are a good example of what Phil’s future will look like in 10 or 20 years if he makes it that long.

It is pretty crazy to think this is him trying his best after 20 years. He cares less than he used to because before views were money but he still definitely cares. What's even stranger is he doesn't care because more views will mean more people checking out his channel and thus a growing business, I suspect he only cares for the sake of his ego.

I love every time he tells people to like the stream and engage with the chats then goes and privates them anyway. Functionally deleting all those views and likes and engagement every single day does far more harm than can be offset by a few likes and comments on the VODs. In addition to the fact that in the eyes of the algo he is a dead channel. 220k subs averaging, what, 500 views a video? Max? That paired with his assuredly abysmal watch time, DSP space Gaming isn't salvageable imo. Definitely not by him, at least, too much negative momentum.

 

[Vic Viper T301]

You know Phil has put nothing into retirement savings because he doesn't use it as part of his "I'm a mature adult and you're a loser in your parent's basement" schtick, and he absolutely 100% would.

 

[Fuckyoudad]

Since it's redditors you'd think he'd land at least one whale from this, but it doesn't seem to be the case

THEY'RE FAT. THEY'RE BROKE.

t's somewhat disturbing how willing to lie and deny reality he is. It's just unbelievable and I can only imagine when he was having financial difficulties a few years back due to the infamous back taxes that he lied through his teeth to his parents and they.

I'm sure one of the main reasons spinning endless lies became second nature to him is because 99% of the time he lies to an empty room. He never has to look anyone in the eye so it just got easier and easier to receive and broadcast completely pointless lies direct from planet preferapenne. Being a hermit he's never in striking distance of anyone ever so he feels confident that his behavior will never again earn him a round with another jaha where he needs to piss himself and cry AHMANAKUHALIC to avoid a beating.

He's been doing it so long now that he sees absolutely nothing wrong with it. He even told Craig giving an answer is enough it doesn't actually need to be the truth. Broke dick n' brain Burnell really does have an insidious nature but thankfully he's also way too fucking retarded to do any real damage to anyone but himself with it.

I think his main strategy was presented in the dented zone - he's streaming and wasting money until his parents die and he inherits their money and wastes it. I wonder what'll happen when he's 55 and he's wasted all his inheritance as well. What would a mature adult do at that age?

I think good offers from Keem have dried up and Phil missed that boat. With Phil's luck, more opportunities will likely come.

I'm 50/50 on what Phil may do once he finally gets some real financial pressure. He'll definitely be desperate to do anything to avoid being a common wageslave. But, I would argue that his general laziness supersedes that, and protecting his fragile narc ego further fuels the laziness.

Here's levels of comparison I think Phil would do:

Any level of verbal insults within the comfort of the office/studio - He will gladly take for any money. This includes forcing his FAT wife out there to get ripped apart.
Lolcow Live shit like getting things dumped on him or smashing up his khando - No, he won't.
Phil will never stream outside of his gated community.
The most human interaction Phil would be open to is people fully paying to go to his khando, but it would require so much kissing his hooves that I doubt anyone will bother.

I wish whales would stop so we could finally test this and change things up.

There are things he could do but he doesn't have the will to do them. Actual strategy is to like start back up on Twitch, Keep Kick and just upload gameplay once a day to his YouTube channel but he is too greedy to give up YouTube memberships on his channel even with the Argentina memberships or stop doing daily wraps because they have his best views.

But right now he can't even get the basics with thumbnails and video titles down so by the time he realizes "hey maybe DSPgaming isn't worth fucking anything and I should maybe build back up Twitch and a VOD/Clip channel with actual active subs and not 220k dead ones" we will be watching streams via brain implants.

 

[owed to joy]

Even if the bum did get up and try to find a job I sincerely doubt he could get much. Being out of work for over 10 years is not an attractive candidate anywhere and he obviously lacks any social skills to talk himself up around that to an employer. Let's face it he could maybe land a job at Wendy's or Walmart but that level of accepting reality isn't achievable for him. Doordash or Uber for the rest of his life and never retire is his only viable option

 

[CopingSneedingDentractor]

Phil will be just fine and the channel will turn around as soon as he can get a personality transplant and regular IQ injections. Perhaps he can save some cash and get these while he is in Turkey for the upcoming hairline transplant.

 

[Iron Hamster]

I feel totally convinced. How about you?

The absolute panic in his eyes really comes through with the new camera.

I don't even play FGs but from what I could tell, he just got outplayed in neutral.

He gets outplayed just clicking on the game.

Not even 500 dollars for a marathon stream? Sad! Pathetic!

Disaster marathon!

I liked the part when he started begging for donations to drink again, when one of his big selling points was that he wouldn't do that anymore and could just drink whenever he wants on these marathons now.

that and trying to bait jaxxbux.

more views is a double edged sword as it also means more people seeing what a fraud he is.
