DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[BatChatillon]

And another day where mysterious things happen to Phil which smell so fishy yet turn out to be so beneficial to him. Giving him two strikes where seven could have killed his site, knowing the one from Atlus will be removed anyways. Oh well, guess he has to spend those extra 2k dollars for statues and figurines during his vacation.

There is so much effort put into this that I can't not share it.

In his pre-stream right now, DSP is emphatically encouraging everyone from this point forth to threaten YouTube with legal action anytime they get handed a copyright strike.
He's taking the stance that he, Phil The Great, defiantly stood up to "the man" and got YouTube to overturn a claim "for the first time in 10 years" instead of what actually happened - the info given in the copyright claims was so sloppily bogus that YouTube rejected them in 30 seconds and moved along.
This guy is really blowing smoke up his own ass, proclaiming he has all this clout now. DSP will be even more insufferably arrogant for the foreseeable future...if that's possible.

Bloody hell, 4 hours. Cool intro though.

I'm not really quite sure why people think DSP has money saved up. It's an interesting idea but it doesn't seem to mesh with his spending habits and the debt he's claimed. He paid around 400-500 bucks for a coffee machine, leases vehicles with all the bells and whistles that he doesn't even end up using, oh, and moved across the country because he thought youtube was a money machine that lasted forever. The idea that Phil has a large sum of money stashed somewhere seems like it came out of nowhere and has only stuck around because a few people like that idea.

 

[BatChatillon]

Given the trainwreck so far and it being obvious that Phil is a pathological liar, his story that he is so poor and desperate and in debt and in need for money can hardly be believed either. It's just a lie he tells his cashfags #PhilDom to squeeze the last penny from their pockets.

That being said, feeding ducks at the pond with your change is a better investion of your money than supporting Phil.

Phil yet again with an impromptu bathroom break.
"Folks, it just hit me. I need to use the restroom now!"
It's been 10 minutes and he's still gone. Must be that "home cookin" he's been doing since Leanna left.

 

[BlockedByDaylight]

How can DSP go back to watch his own videos and NOT realize how much of a whiny ass bitch he really is?? I just don't get it. Especially ALL of the fighting game videos I've seen him playing.

I agree in ways but at the same time, Phil is in a weird position where sometimes he seems more broke than someone in his position in life should be and other times he seems so much more well off than he lets on.

I'm not sure if that makes sense but to explain, he pays around a thousand dollars a month for a completely vacant condo. If a normal person who was suffering with their finances was in that situation, they would do whatever they could to offload that cost or get a tenant but DSP just lets it sit. He can't be tight for money and throw a thousand dollars into what's essentially a black hole every month.

Then again in reverse, all he ever does is complain about how tight his money is and freaks out if any revenue streams of his wealth are at risk. That's not what someone who has a large stockpile of money lying around behaves like.

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

Unless he's a miser who has some savings and is terrified of having to dip into it while also not wanting to give up his lifestyle. If he was someone who freaked out when their savings dipped below, say, 20k, it's definitely explain his reactions towards potential problems, but then he also thinks "oh I can splurge on myself, I have 20k in savings!" Just as an example.

Hah, we're at page 1337.

An old internet term that describes what Phil thinks his gaming skills are and what they are the opposite of in reality.

Phil loves to talk but none of his actions are that of a person on their last leg. We have known people or we ourselves have had hard times and Dsp is not living like a person down on their luck. I think the post that got me my first ban from TKOHF was something like "a person who NEEDS money does not have Amazon, Hulu, TWO internet lines, contemplates getting Netflix, pays for an empty condo, etc."

I do not think Phil is a secret millionaire but he is also not a bad check away from losing it all. It is impossible to know for sure though because all the info is from Dsp and his word means nothing.

It's not uncommon for people who make a good amount of money to still be in debt, simply because they're still living beyond their means. He could be making an above average amount every month, and still end up in the hole since he's paying for a house, a cahndo, a new car loan that's going to start cornholing him when he starts missing payments, credit card debt(?), business loans and more.

We have a long-running reality TV series dedicated to lolcowing people who attended the Phil Burnell School of Home Finance. They just keep on living their lives like they want to as the debt keeps piling up, and they just can't seem to figure out where their money goes. They claim they can't afford to pay their bills, and then it turns out that they're spending $500 a month on cigarettes, Netflix and online gambling and gin.

He's mentioned a few times in the past that he "couldn't" sell the cahndo because it was now worth way less than he paid for it. So I guess he's just wiping his ass with money waiting for it to magically turn around.

But, considering he hasn't mentioned it in a long time , my guess is that he finally bullied his parents into acting as landlords and started renting it out. Or, maybe he just considers it part of his bills and fixed expenses that there's nothing he can do about, dood.

Phil did have a shitton of debt and utter garbage credit before the Youtube bubble bailed him out. My guess is he's the type to abuse lines of credit and fiddle about with loans to keep himself able to splurge ala short-term. He ain't on his last legs in liquid cash, but at the rate he spends I reckon that a loan shark may choose to break them in the future.

I always just assumed Phil's lifestyle was propped up by the bank of mum and dad.
If ever Phil had a bill his dick riders couldn't cover chances are his parents would cover it.
Phil likely just assumes his parents savings are his savings (though rumour is his cousin who is practically adopted is in the running for the inheritance before him).

This.

I'm still convinced that his parents bail his dumb ass out, and without them he would fall through financially; for real, and not manufactured "emergencies" like these past 2 copyright strike ones. Without them, his begging for money and claims that "I can't pay my bills dood, *SNORT*" would be genuine.

Still, and I've said this before, his shitty health will obliterate any money he thinks he's going to live the rest of his life off of. The medical bills for the ailments he will have are going to wreck him.

KAHMAAAAN DOOOD THIS IS BULLSHIT! WHY CAN'T I GET MY DAD'S MONEY?! STUPID FUCKING OLD SCRUB, FIRST IT WAS THE WOLVERINE TOY, AND NOW THIS?!

Everything got reversed the day after he was able to get a ton of pity tips/bits? Also right before a week long vacation? I'm calling shenanigans. Convenient crisis-ex-machina is convenient. He just did all this to wring some more money out of his idiot fans.

I fall more into the dumb luck camp. No matter what he was going to hammer his fans for cash all week this just gave him a platform to do it. He knew his channel was never in danger but he knows how to manipulate his fans into thinking the end is at hand. I think he is sleazy enough to take advantage of this situation but not smart enough to create it himself.
