Oh yeah, the Olive Branch meant "Detractors have to be nice to me while I change nothing."
It's so stupid because:
- Bryan's "olive branch" was mainly related to Vidar and Vidar's actions and DSP's inactions
- DSP's "olive branch" was basically some blanket expectation that the entire "detractor community" who are all individual people who do their own thing would fall into a line of "good behavior"
Sorry DSP, I understand what you tried to do but that's not how you deal with trolls and people trying to fuck with you, you will always have people that go the extra step in trying to fuck with people. You really need to go and look at some other internet personalities and how they deal with da trolls because whatever you were trying with your "olive branch" was never going to work. Before you can change anyone else you have to change yourself and stop reacting the way you do, and its not only how you react, its also the way you interact.
Here's a good starting point: stop deleting every fucking thread people make on your forums and stop blocking every single person on Twitter. It's an exceptionally terrible way of dealing with things. Stop calling people morons and idiots when you're asking the world for help because of your own mistakes (no one cares about your tax attorney screwing you over, you're in this position because you never listen to anyone and spend any money you have on dumb shit, that's on you).
And as for your complaining about people trying to "dig up dirt" on Kat? Your own fans warned you repeatedly that this would happen and it'd happen for anyone who is as controversial as you are. I even kept warning you (whether you read here or not) that this would end up happening and you chose to ignore it all.
If you didn't have a habit of insulting people and being so condescending through your entire "10 year legacy" and much earlier you wouldn't have to deal with the toxic environment that you yourself created. You talk shit constantly and then when people talk shit back you block, ban and delete which only makes them want to talk shit and harm you even more.
"Be nice to those you meet on the way up because you will meet them on the way down"
If you didn't try to shit on every possible person then you wouldn't have one of the most dedicated groups of people that hate you in existence.
Tevin made a good point in one of his last videos. Nothing is gonna happen to him. He's just gonna get put on a payment plan. He just makes a huge stink about his taxes cause he wants to be able to make it all go away at once. Phil is far from losing his house. However, repeating the worst case scenario over and over and over and over and OVER again and blowing things sky high out of proportion certainly helps light that generous fire under a few of his followers.
You're forgetting that a large number of DSP's biggest supporters have left and been replaced by people who give less to DSP. It's not only a panic about his taxes, its a panic about being able to pay his multiple loans off each month. When he starts missing payment is when the shit really hits the fan because it will mean he has to sell his house. When he has to sell his house is when he has to take time off streaming, which is when his income plummets to whatever his old YouTube videos make.
Even if DSP survives the tax saga (which will happen 4 times this year) he has to
sustainably increase his income by a dramatic amount. He pulled a rabbit out of his hat in December to pay his taxes then, but it sounds like he's spent the money he has to manually withhold for taxes on paying off his debts to try and keep up with his debt.
