I'm tempted to believe that Phil donated to his own Patreon in an attempt to garner more last minute donations. That 250 will go away immediately on the 1st. He'll claim that's someone wanting to do a one time donation who really wanted to see the halloween event. Noone wants to see Phil in a costume that much. With all of his tips and bits lately, I can totally envision Phil seeding his own Patreon with his tips in order to make people think he's getting more.
My reason for believing this is he didnt seem so worried about the Patreon this month. No begging videos saying "muh paymetons!" No constant "I'm being real with you, I need that money for muh bills!" And a strange "you have 4 days left to donate, and it can be done! One person can come through huge!" Last month he was in a total panic over not hitting the goal at a week out, and 4 days out he's completely chill over it? I dont buy it. He donated to himself knowing he couldnt get over the 860.
