I think switching from Youtube to Twitch was a big mistake. I think he should have stopped streaming on Youtube and moved to Twitch but this total change into a streamer was a massive mistake. He should have never snapped at Machinima and just waited for the adpocalypse to end. It was safe for him. Youtube was a constant stream of safe income for him, plus a managed partnership meant he didn't have to shit himself over music like he does now. Plus with KO Gaming he had a channel on the rise that at one point had a viral video. With Twitch he's completely reliant on his viewers, everything now relies on how engaging he is and how the viewers respond to it. That worked at first and he got a lot but now he's seeing the bad side of it, which he never would have had with Youtube.
But Phil doesn't think. He tries to get the most money as quick as he can, without setting up for the long term as we know. He doesn't deal in safe streams of income, he likes to find a source of revenue where he'll get a lot of money in a short amount of time and then he'll tard cum that. Its why Machinima dropped him because he got butthurt that for a month he'd be getting less money and he'll say it was worth it but thats because he's salty. It wasn't. He lost a valuable managed partnership. He's done it with a ton of revenue sources, instead of setting it up in a way that allows him a constant source of revenue it's always the big money ASAP and then he milks it and milks it until he can't get big money anymore and just ditches it or he finds and exploit he abuses until he's banned from it. With Twitch he's still trying to tard cum it and make it a good source of income in the future. The reason why it won't be is because again, its completely reliant on the viewers. With Youtube it was all based on performance. He didn't have to constantly be aware of his fans and if the game is interesting or not, if he got a click, he got some money. That is easier than Twitch streaming where you gotta basically be their show monkey and hope someone has enough money to throw you a couple of pennies as you tap dance for them.
The best way to have done it is keep Youtube as the main source for gameplay, done reviews for KOGaming (Which means that this method is impossible because he'd have to put in slightly more effort) and streamed on Twitch so he could have those subs. This way his Twitch streaming wouldn't interfere with Youtube videos and interfere with his commentary which is now just purely shoutouts. Twitch will be the downfall. Because his userbase is mostly kids who when they become adults (when they have money) don't find him funny anymore and leave. He can't get new people because his commentary isn't interesting, its now pure silence until someone pays in bits, people admit they only stay for the community, so a new person comes in and finds an uninteresting guy not saying shit and leaves.
