Heyja, just flying in with something that has nothing to do with anything right now, except DSP of course.
Doesn't Phil look really professional and like an active livestreamer when the last video or even highlight was
from March 2017? This just screams: "Oh watch me, I do many streams", right? So how often does this Phil-guy stream? I dunno. I watched him right now (someone might say) but other than that, I dunno, maybe he's not worth of my support.
I sure get why Phil deletes every VOD, so he can squeeze more money on Youtube where he can actively decide the amount of ads. Ya know, Youtube, the website he calls his archive so this strategy contradicts his statement? Yeah, he is also not very aware of the basic fact that Twitch also has ads, not only when people start watching his livestream, but also on every VOD and every highlight. Each ad states the following: "This Ad supports [Name]". For a guy who wants to make livestreams his livelihood, this is an idiotic behaviour.
So from my own experiences, here the following (:powerlevel

: The ad revenue on Youtube is higher than on Twitch, sure. But the most money comes from subscribers and this amount overshadows Youtube by far. So I would do anything possible to make my Twitch-channel more appealing.
He's also not very aware that he has basically 2 fanbases, one for each website (which can overlap of course). People on Youtube don't necessarily want to watch him on Twitch and vice versa. The audience on Youtube also doesn't necessarily like his uploaded livestreams because they don't want to hear the cheering, subs and tips or his interaction with the audience, maybe they just want to see Phil play the goddamn game and his focus on it.
Phil needs to stop hiding his content and give it free on both sides. But I know why he won't do that. VODs are the full content and he can't Start/Stop to decide which lie people will hear. Detractors could use his statements against him, even so he has full control over what he says (okay, fine, he has no control over his vocal garbage). And setting highlights is like cutting a video and a Phil would never do that, too much work!
This is just another mirror which reflects Phil's incompetence and lazyness.
