It was about a cute little bunny in his backyard. I'm listening to it right now. He blathered on about all the woodland creatures out there, but how he would never try to catch one because that would hurt it. Which sounds like something Kat told him when he ran out there in his jam jams to catch it. Oh did I say Kat? I meant George...

Don't you just hate it when someone has to interject any kind of story with how they're a good person and they wouldn't do an unnecessarily mean thing that most people wouldn't do and wouldn't brag about, either? No shit, Phil, people don't try to catch wild animals in their backyards just for their jollies, this isn't a badge of honor, it's how the modern human works.

Bonus points for even making it sound like he could catch one in the first place, he's a fat Internet celeb, not a trapper. "I can be good at catching small animals if I wanted." I know, that's not what he's saying (I know you're reading here, Phil, so don't try to use this as your bitch-card today) but normal people don't blurt this shit out, come on. "Look at that beautiful historic landmark, keep in mind that I would never blow it up, that would be insane and someone might get hurt, I am so fucking benevolent that I'm causing eye strain with the solar beams coming out of my rosy cheeks."

The days of growth are LONG gone, and it's only a matter of time before his few remaining whales realize that the money they give Phil will NEVER be enough and leave, assuming Phil doesn't piss them off and they leave before that.

growth? pfft. phil has been on a steady decline forever. the only growth he has is some major drama or change in this life. and imo twitch is like a last resort, if he got banned of that, no clue what he would do. and even then, its still on a steady decline. phil is without a doubt going to be homeless. at the rate its going, its inevitable. sure he may 55 even 60 when it happens but hes not good with money, i dont think even has a retirement fund...and its kinda sad he keeps trying to make this game crap work when he needs to get a real job and start working his ass off like no tomorrow.

and the whole thing about going to his aunts funeral, i doubt hell be going to any family funerals. they probably look at him like a pathetic joke. hes most likely cut ties with most of his family

That's sorta the point I was getting at--we see things like his $900 pity tip day and the fact that his sub count is up to 500, but big picture, he's not really gaining much, if any, ground, and what he has is due primarily to a small number of people dropping absurd amounts of money. It's not sustainable long-term (and probably not short-term). I just don't understand how Phil can look at the situation without thinking "Shit, I better get some kind of contingency set up before it all goes to hell." He could lose literally about half his income if either his Youtube or Twitch accounts get shut down, and a shutdown could occur at any point without any warning. It's one of those things where when you really think about it, it's mind-blowing how nuts it really is.

Most content creators understand that the YT/Twitch income is very unstable and can end at any point. DSP on the other hand thought that we would be rolling in cash for the rest of his life so blew every penny he got on stupid figurines costing hundreds each and never set anything aside. Pretty incredible how he has no plan B other than beg his viewers.

The day when he fucks up hard and either his Twitch or YT gets shut down is going to be hilarious.

It's not hard to predict what's going to happen. Phil's going to say that he "didn't do anything wrong" and "did everything right" and moves on to another platform and his sycophants with him.

a new arc is coming guys ! fuck yeah !
i think this came because he realized that his daily 339 views on twitch and nearly unwatched youtube vids can't hold him for long so he went to the well to whip up a new saga

Yeah he pull the usual "waaahhh, I did nothing wrong YT/Twitch/Detractors fucked me" BS then scuttle off to another platform. The after effect though will have deeper consequences, if his YT gets shut down that will be a huge blow to him as no other video platform will make him that much money.

He may survive on YT streaming as long as his pay pigs follow him and fee him the thousands a month he needs but the randoms coming in throwing out quarters/dollars will pretty much be gone.

oooooo im so excited to see what horseshit dsp is going to exclaim now.

i wonder how many paypigs will whip our their wallets for the weekly crisis beggathon
 
Phil is stressed because he knows his business is failing. The only thing keeping it alive is pitty tips and cheers from Twitch viewers, that's it. And all of this wouldn't necessarily be a problem if he wasn't stupid enough to pay for both his house and his condo. He's just a complete idiot with his finances and is too stupid to see that it's impossible to keep doing this while paying off two mortgages.

There have been a couple suicides by celebrities lately, maybe he tries to "relate" to that.
Click to expand...

Oh he already said on prestream today when trying to hype up the podcast (and the depression segment specifically, a very special segment) that he has been motivated to talk about this because of the recent suicides. He named Kate Spade and Bourdain specifically as inspirations to talk about his own struggles.

When you break it all down he only has two moves:
1. The long con where he tells some story which has consequences that allow him to beg daily for a long period of time while never showing anything close to credible evidence, like the taxes.
2. The non event where something actually does happen and instead of thinking it through he panics and jumps on stream to vocalize every worst case scenerio that pops into his head, with subs/bits/tips accepted of course. Most recently it was of course being flagged as spam, both Twitch suspensions, being fired by Machinima, and even goes back to when he was fired from his last real job minus the streaming of course.

Eh. I don't really think so. Phil and Kat have both blurted out that she was in a terrible housing situation before quickly changing the subject.

Maybe: Kat says they moved in too quickly, and they need some distance to develop their relationship, so she's getting her own place soon. This will cut into Phil's income. And of course make him very sad. Cuz his soulmate's isn't there, natch.

That's a bit more likely IMO :/

I've said this before but she's looking to leave when she's financially able to. Being Phil's maid and chef can't make for a good relationship. Plus there's a very good chance she saw Phil nude. I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.

Not sure why everyone shits on YouTube/Twitch people. Their careers, unlike most self-employed people, actually make a profit in the first two years.

Damn I'm not sure how it gets worse than public masterbation, threatening minors, shameless begging, and overt racism. What does he have to do, murder someone live on stream?

Well apparently it's the great federal crime of having a copyright strike that can't be disputed, last time i checked

So murder's clearly no biggie for them
