He will always get Patreon money. If you don't believe me, look up Spoony. Fans are like reverse leeches, they just keep feeding you and you can't get them off no matter what you do.

There is a simple explanation really and that is Phil never growing past his teenage years.

Keep in mind this man has never been in a position where a job was the alternative to being homeless. He was "spoiled" by the ad revenue train early on, the fact that he never really had any authority to guide them or telling him to shut the fuck up when necesary.

Now you have that same teenager stuck in a 35 year old man's body without any idea of how the world around him works.

That does actually explain a lot in a way I hadn't considered it. But I still feel as if that only covers his demeanor and attitude and not his actual problem solving skills.

Like this forum shit. Does he really think that no one has ever done a Patreon/forum implementation? You can hire people to do this for your for a few hundred dollars at most and save yourself that money by not having to fuck around with excel sheets ever again.

Then its like, why even have a fucking forum? Its totally worthless and does nothing but cost money, cause drama and require a significant time investment for basically no reward. Phil has to spend at least 30-60 minutes on the forum every day he streams, so a lowball 10-15 hours a month that he spends just on the forum.

Without him having made money from YouTube I really wonder what career path he would've taken during something like the 50s or 60s. If its anything more than a menial job I just can't see it being a possibility.

Even if you completely separate his personality from the way he approaches problems, he just doesn't really "approach" problems at all. He doesn't even figure out the lazy solution to things, he just picks the dumbest possible way to try and figure it out, finds something that doesn't even work and sticks with it for the next decade.

It's like watching someone hammering a square peg in a round hole to try and make it work.

That's because he has no ideas of his own, or doesn't understand why they work. It's the "monkey see, monkey do" mentality.

Not only that, if the idea doesn't immediately work, he will drop and abandon it right there on the street, just look at the entirety of KOGaming. I dare anyone to name one or two ideas that HE came up with which worked in his favor.

I wouldn't be surprised if what you mentioned came from one of his fans on the forums.

The worst part is that IF the day comes that his Twitch/Youtube channels are no longer enough, we will see a pretty pathetic Phil; like a kid screaming and kicking on the supermarket floor when you don't pick up his favorite dissert. The worst part of this is that at the rate things are going this is inevitable. I don't see him doing this for 10 more years. Hell, i don't even see him getting to 2020 at this rate but i've been proven wrong before.

In honour of Phil re-playing Bully, here is a sample SAT question.

Phil is to Let's Playing as:

a) Jean Racine is to Playwrighting
b) Nikola Tesla is to Electrical Engineering
c) Brendon Fraser is to Hollywood Acting
d) Walter Payton is to Running Backing

To be fair, didn't Brendon un-JUST himself after a while, or did I misread that somewhere?

Oh he'll be on the internet begging for money and poorly playing videogames (or some other hussle) in 2 years, and 10 years, and maybe even beyond that. I fully agree with the people who said he's banking on that inheritance from his parents. I truly believe he will absolutely refuse to get a real, stable job ever again even if it means he has to use his begging money to live out of a shitty hotel room off a lonely highway somewhere.

but he doesnt even make 1k a month anymore. so that and lets say the months he does get 500 subs (not looking good now) thats only another 1250 a month. and youtube is done. and his patreon only gets lower
 
So many impatient spergs coming out of the woodwork.
Any time anything gets shown regarding Phil you have people crawling out from Twitter reee'ing for muh proof.
It's up to @neger psykolog what he wants to do with the info given.
It sucks when people just start demanding shit and sperging constantly about it about the source..
It's almost like they are afraid of Phil actually going away.

I've never seen YouTube as a career personally. Can you make a shitload of money off streaming, shirts, audible sponserships etc - sure can, thousands prove that. Is that going to be around in 10 years time? Probably not. You can argue somebody like Pewdiepie a) has enough to live off for life assuming he saved it and didn't blow it all and b) he honestly could get something in the industry easily if youtube shut down tomorrow.

But Phil (and for arguments sake the 100+ channels with over 1M subs you have never heard of) if this goes away he really does have nothing. It's why it baffles me he thinks this is a viable business. Honestly its a similar psychological mindset to winning the lotto and why you hear stories of most winners being broke in months. He has it incredibly easy now and has never thought to future proof anything. If everything stopped tomorrow, he'd be homeless by the end of the month and i'm not sure he thinks like that.

I mean this is on his schedule of events:

". . .PLEASE TIP ME during streams! ALL tips received starting now will go 100% towards my taxes and keeping this amazing home I broadcast out of every single day!"

. . .so the previous quote of cringe and desperation isn't surprising.

Phil will just make Kat get a job.

It won't mean she's doing less cleaning and cooking. She can do the same amount of chores after a long day of Uber driving or McDonald's grilling.

Now, sure, this requires a second car payment, but it's a small price to pay for more money coming into the household.

There are like a million PC exclusive games that would be cheap and probably be enjoyable or at least a change to what he usually plays. He's just making excuses as usual.

There's no reasoning behind any of what he decides to play because he's been doing it so long that he doesn't care.

His hand "got numb and in pain" playing getting over it, hes way past playing anything else on pc that requires more than clicking, but i can imagine that even being a complaint...
