I would argue the aggressive fans on DSP's forums, like Amityville & ThatDogGuy (who I presume was Davey_J_Jr & then Bailey_Dakota) who actively harp on anyone offering 'trolling' or criticism equally are detractors. I have 2 thoughts on their madness:
- They are detractors using sock accounts Marle style to make DSP's fanbase look terrible. New DSP fans who wander into the forums will quickly learn their style and get poked for being negative or learn to keep their statements positive.
- They are fans that genuinely think what they are doing is helping DSP, and thus become unintentional detractors by helping to make those forums a mess.
Also extreme spin time: BSV is a detractor. If he wanted to help DSP out, he wouldn't throw him a pittance of an averaged ~$200/month in the last 1.5 years. (Assuming he is not using pseudonyms to tip heavily or do big lowered/raised pledges that people aren't catching. I'm already assuming the $100+$50 Star Trek PSVR 'don't bother' tips were him.) BSV must know based on DSP's statements that he needs thousands, probably tens of thousands of dollars to get out of his WA state business taxes (including this new WA tax attorney), credit card, business loan & even CT condo financial blackholes. A couple hundred dollars per month is just enabling DSP to think he can keep this handouts life style going, yet keep him still in serious financial problems. It's allowing DSP to tread water at best. So therefore I'd argue BSV is funding DSP to just keep him in the same situation so the ranting bad times continue.
