He's now 0 - 2. This might be his HWNDU flag but he's the one who keeps stealing his own flag.

I can't wait for Phil to be so stubborn he finds a 3rd chair company, that one sends a box filled with people escaping their country. Then a 4th, that one has its warehouses burn down. The 5th one strangely all the employees get abducted by aliens.

I would really like to be a fly on the wall when he has explain to the gf the situation. "No honey it was a different chair company."

lol this idiot simply BOUGHT a chair using the paypig money and became affiliated to a scam shell company and now asking his fans to be scammed for 10 dollars less

What a moron!

Its not a scam shell company that I can see, its just a website that uses what is most likely dropshipping/reselling and affiliate links. There's nothing illegal about it, nor is there really anything unethical about it that I can think of.

If reselling products with a markup was a crime then practically everyone would be in prison.

I get that people may not respect or like the business model, which isn't an issue, but I think calling them a "scam" is a bit far fetched.

  • After about 12 hours of people digging the claws of autism into their previous businesses they went silent, completely pulled their website down, deleted their twitter and various other things.
By all indications it wasn't a major company or anything, it was a recently started business venture (at the very most). They were like any other "gaming chair" company and were reselling chairs (most likely from China or perhaps even a local distributor). They had various posts on Reddit etc saying what their conversion rates were and how they were using Google Adwords to gain customers.

This last bullet point & paragraph are most suspicious to me, very weird to see them pull the cord on the entire business just because the DSPsphere managed to discover who they are, which is something that would have happened in any kind of due diligence or serious business relationship, also, businessmen typically have pride in their (legitimate) businesses and start-ups and want to use them to get a high(er) status.

I don't want to be too :autism::autism::autism: with the theories, but I can't completely discount the possibility of it being a front for something illegal, I want to say money laundering, but I think money launderers would have more chill about them.

Nah I'd say its most likely just the nature of the dropshipping/reseller market. "Gaming chairs" are currently a meme, and you can cash in decently for a few weeks/months depending on how you angle it.

Because you're probably not manufacturing the chairs yourself you can make a decent markup with a fairly low investment.

It's the exact type of business model DSP can't do because he can't adjust to economic trends (read: popular games). If he had any sense he'd do basically the same thing and quit his crybaby shit for a few days and play super popular games while they're still popular and make shit loads of money.

I see your point, one can have small start-up businesses with a natural end point: Capitalize on a trend, make a bit of money, and move on. But them pulling the cord is extremely at odds with the "we're ready ;)" attitude they showed less than 12 hours ago.

Businesses that are already winding down don't look to take on new streamers and spokesmen, and even if they do, they don't do with such.. gusto.

I'm guessing they probably didn't want to let the rest of their shit get poisoned by their one new business venture

This diagram probably most easily illustrates what their business venture was (and I say venture because its definitely not the only thing they're working on):

A lot of talk about trolls and detractors tonight. Guess they've already decided we in our evil ways robbed Phil of such a prestigious sponsor already.

Clearly nothing to do with him accepting any old sponsor just to save face or anything.

But I mean does Phil have some sort of dashboard in Twitch with this info? He surely isn't coding up scripts to figure this out.
I'm wondering just how much of it's a surprise it's going to be for him when the subs come crashing down. Based on all those goals he's setting up it sounds like he expects them to be permanent.

There should definitely be something there. As I'm not a Twitch partner or anything, I don't know.
