Another thing to add to the list of "Stuff that proves Phil has no idea what he's talking about".
He talked about the early days of Youtube (big shock, I know), and how the Angry Video Game Nerd inspired him. The reason why is because apparently AVGN proved that people without "extensive film-making history" can make it by creating "easy-to-produce" videos.
Except James Rolfe (AVGN) has been making films since he was about nine years old, and actually has a degree in it. Also, there's more editing/work put into even the early AVGN episodes, compared to 2017/2018 playthroughs of Phil's.
