DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

Someone tipped DSP and casually asked if he would play Crash 2 from the NSane trilogy remake. DSP completely rudely said no, he played a completionist version last year, and that would be stupid!! why would he ever play it AGAIN? The fan then tipped AGAIN to fucking APOLOGIZE for how dare he ask a question to gout lord Phil if he would play a game, specifically the ps4 version of the game. Phil didn't even acknowledge the apology, acted like a complete asshole to the guy "Yea I KNOW the ps4 version, DUH!!!" and the poor guy just went "oh, ok" in chat.

fucking cringe.

What a complete asshole.
Why do I get the feeling his fans need to go through some pretty extensive deprogramming? Or just have their parents cut them off?
 
One of the key factors of Patreon is having an appealing monthly goal to incentivize people to donate

Honestly I am dumb founded how he even gets $1000/month. His goals are non-goals. Verbal shoutout? A question on Ask the Lonely Man? A rambly video? Recording himself playing video games, which he does anyways?
Guess it proves that old saying right, that a fool and his money are soon parted.
 
I am not surprised at all that DSP's Patreon is the lowest it has ever been. One of the key factors of Patreon is having an appealing monthly goal to incentivize people to donate, and what's Phil have: anyone who pledges $5 or more gets the honor of nominating and voting on horror-themed games for him to play two months from now during Halloween, and if the month's goal gets hit then those same $5 patrons can vote on the genre of costume he'll wear. Not the specific costume, mind you...just the category.
I'm calling it right now - it'll go below $900 before BSV bounces it back up.
Yeah, I mean his Patreon was below $900 after the P3 ragequit last year (I believe the lowest was 850 or so, I need to check back on previous pages) but after he went full ebegging mode by October it rose up a lot. It's the lowest it has been since that point and I honestly don't think extreme ebegging's gonna work again, it's taking its toll on his fanbase. Obviously though BSV, Sammy and KG will all be there for their master, always. So it's not like he's gonna go broke anytime soon.

Eventually even BSV, Sammy and KG will come to their senses and abandon ship. It just takes time.

On a funnier side-note, I love the ending of Snort Burnell's videos where he's got the clip of Phil pretending to be a detractor, saying "Phil's a faggot, Phil's fat, Phil's a loser, Phil's a beggar". All four of those things are true. I just wish I knew what he was looking at when he does the "pretending to be a detractor talking about him" shtick. He seems to stare up at the ceiling like he sees a spider up there.

I just popped onto Twitch and this is what I see:

Sounds about right. And he's got a measly 360 viewers.

Edit 1
He's now lost 20 viewers, he's down to 343. Lol. Either people are leaving or mods are banning.

Edit 2
335. Jesus christ. I think he's gonna be sub-300 soon.
In what context would he think it was smart to say this??

I think Phill thinks if people are subscribed for one month they will just never unsubscribe, or be too lazy to care about the patreon goal. Like if he thinks its something he thinks this patreons wont like for his monthly goal he thinks theyll just "suck it up for that month" and wait for next month but still subscribe, you know? Shit like that; its hard to describe because it's really fucking stupid. Like he thinks he has a chance at bringing them back if they do leave. Like if his content were legitimate and not just a huge joke.

He really takes his (respectively, very few) viewers for granted--literally.

Like I could imagine him buying into the, "JUST FIVE DOLLARS" hype, not realizing there are people who do budget and dont want to waste even five dollars a month.

I'd have to guess he meant it as some kind of joke, or perhaps there was more text hidden by the "[...]" that I didn't see...either way he's an idiot.

Have you heard him talk about losing Paymetons subs, and how he has to contact them to get them to update their info, or how he thinks they were subbed through Amazon Prime or whatever it is and they just "forgot to resub"? I think my favorite excuse he comes out with is "well people see I'm doing good on Twitch and they're like 'Well Phil's doing good on twitch, I suppose i can stop my paytreon sub". I need that money guys! Just because I'm doing good on twitch, doesn't mean i don't need the paytreon money dood"

I would love to see what those emails to patrons look like. Probably a mix of him assuming they forgot because there is no way they would not want to support Dsp, playing up how much they want his "awesome" perks like voting for a game he may not play/finish or answering their question on ATK but only if he wants to and whenever he gets around to doing the video, and a heavy guilt trip about how desperate his situation is and how their $5 will save his life even though getting paid $5 for a review is pittance and not worth his time.
 
Hilarious if true:

Same day he jealously mocks Pewdiepie and Markiplier for having "dumb names" he goes and reveals this. Project much, Phil?

Oh and here's a good one. Apparently the government should just drop what it's doing and help him because he deserves it.

That schaden chick from the SoK had it right when she said in Phil's mind it's his world and everyone else is living in it.

New DipShitPhil episode, showing off DSP's absolute fucking hatred for PDP. He also goes over his hairstyle options from that poll (he describes the bald option as "like Stone Cold Steve Austin" because he's such a big wrestling fan).

He also shows how paranoid he is, he thinks that some guy is stalking him, randomly changing his username on PSN/XBOX/whatever, just to constantly beat Phil with his "shit internet connection". He thinks the guy "knows his internet connection is shit" and that he's only playing Phil to "steal my ranking points, like I care about ranking points". He's so fucking paranoid.

He even goes so far as to call people on YouTube like PDP "clowns", despite himself being the biggest clown on YouTube. Basically, the same old shit he's always spewed. "It's not my fault, it's YouTube's fault", etc. Blah blah. My favorite part is where he's obviously mocking PDP and says "I can spend money to get kids in India to hold up signs about how they want to kill Jews".

Finally, "I can spend money to get kids in India to hold up signs about how they want to kill Jews".

I especially like that smooth transition where he starts talking about his hairstyle poll and then shifts into passive-aggressively mocking successful YouTubers with wacky hair.
