RE: Phil's Nazi chat.
Here's the thing I don't understand: how can anyone give a shit? Phil's stream interaction is borderline non-existent. Most other streamers make a concious effort to be a part of the conversation(s) taking part in their chat. Back and forth, memeing, banter, etc. Phil doesn't do any of that. The only time he ever seems to pay attention to his viewers is when he gets a donation or he's stuck in a game so he stalls while he waits for chat to give him the answer. It's like he approaches his chat as if he's overhearing them; paying attention some of the time but keeping his distance. He never gets involved. His pathetic excuse for commentary is the cherry on top. There's just nothing there.
Phil's whole setup is to blame, I think. Other streamers can glance at their chat without having to turn their head. They're sat a desk with a 2/3+ monitor setup. They just have to glance over. Phil has to turn his head (from having it turned right to look at his TV, to neutral forward, to left) and bend forward into his laggy old laptop. It's pathetic to watch. All this talk of his "office" and "business".... some other streamers could actually get away with speaking like that - their streaming setups do actually resemble offices in a way. Phil's "office" looks like an utterly unergonomic dust-filled manchild storage closet, complete with sweat-stained loveseat.
