DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Haunter]

@BallBuster Unless you want to look into this further, I'm thinking this was fake news.

This is the moment I saw, https://youtu.be/RqvyOv2EXkQ?t=2h17m18s

Two Arabic names with numbers on the end that subscribe at the same time. It seems to be legit, unlikely as it is.

Remarkably, DSP announces both subscriptions in succession, but only increments the sub count of 440 by one, making it 441. 5_guy subscribes three minutes later to make it the 442 that it should have been.

(The on-screen subscriber notification only displayed alucardali7's name, and not abdu_18's, I'm guessing because both set off the notification at the same time, so one was ignored. Phil was prompted to increase the count by one because of the single notification. Still, the words had just left Phil's mouth.)

Holy fuck, he's actually doing the "Youtube watchers need to pull their weight" shit. Go fuck yourself Phil.

After like a year + of "It's just the archive channel". Wow.

 

[actually]

"everyone on YT srsly need to step it up, THEYRE TAKING MY CONTENT FOR GRANTED, if they dont support me then im done with YT for good!" lol what a joke. he claimed yt was 40% of his monthly income and now its down to less than 10 dollars a day

Funny enough, this confirms that Phil has been making around $100,000 per year. He's been pulling in at least $4500+ on Twitch (that we can see). Divide that by 0.6 (since Twitch is 60% of his monthly income) and you get $7500 per month (on the low end, imo). Multiply that by 12 months and you get a minimum of $90,000 pre-tax.

 

[Waveysauce]

Yeah, he's both A) TERRIFIED of trolls and B) has zero creativity as to how to promote his business and engage his audience (that last part going directly back to A because he is so scared of trolls slipping through.

Last year I remember Markiplier and Jacksepticeye did a cool thing where they played a PUBG co-op in zombie mode where they were a team and fans played as the zombies and it was a really fun video to watch. That's the type of thing he could do a cheer goal or something for and, even IF trolls participated, bug deal! He'd get their bits and there is literally no way they could negatively effect him. They'd just be zombies trying to kill him.

I know that's a specific example, but it's just one of 100 things he could do to engage with his audience in a way that is also profitable to him if he has even the slightest ability to think outside the box and didn't have a crippling fear of detractors.

He could do tons of these kinds of fun and interactive things literally on a weekly basis. And they're the types things he SHOULD be trying like hell to come up with to grow his audience and income since his old stand by of jus counting on playing new AAA games to bring in viewers hasn't been a viable way to attract anyone new for literally years.

Well thats why if he did a co op to the highest payer he wouldnt have to worry about trolls. Unless some are stupid enough to give 100$ just to get booted right after. On sea of thieves it was 3 cult members he knew well and he got a combined $220. Shocking he doesn't use that idea more based on how big he scored on it. I just think he is too terrible at talking to other people and feels too awkward for him

 

[Forbidden Math]

I think he's spinning this whole "I think youtube just isn't going to ever reply to me doods" thing too much. I bet he already got the reply but he doesn't want to tell people what it said.

 

[BrunoMattei]

There's no way in hell this asshole made Valedictorian. But the mental gymnastics on display is (are?) fascinating. He's so narcissistic that he made up a Valedictorian speech.

 

[Il_Duke]

I think he's spinning this whole "I think youtube just isn't going to ever reply to me doods" thing too much. I bet he already got the reply but he doesn't want to tell people what it said.

Considering he was emailing His Boy Mitch daily, then suddenly stopped and defaults to the "I'm never going to get an answer" mentality, i'd put decent money on it. If he saw even the littlest chance to blame YouTube, or the detractors, or anyone for this outcome, he'd take it. I have no doubt YouTube/AdSense gave him a comprehensive answer as to why advertisers want nothing to do with him. And I'd put the smart money on his latest "If you don't contribute, I won't upload!" saga is dependent on his assumption that YouTube will drop the hammer on his 3rd (KO Gaming) AdSense account.

 

[Mr.PiggyOinkOinkOink]

The gears must have broke in daves mind on this YouTube thing.

He tells his viewers he doesn’t even know if twitch full time(he already does it full time), but is threatening to stop uploaded to YouTube for the sole reason that....he’s not making enough? So none is better than some to dave? His twitch audience isn’t going to explode or grow overnight because he stops uploading to YouTube and plays music in games....his mental gymnastics to try and squeeze more money from his fans is just nonsensical...I’ll show my YouTube audience by throwing away that free ad money I shouldn’t even be allowed to make....GENUIS

 

[Anonymous Dimwit]

Does...does Phil actually think his fans need him more than he needs them? Has the begging money actually gone to his head that much? I don't see Phil paying anyone's bills. Phil seems like the kind of prick who wouldn't lend you two bucks if you were short on change one day.

He literally said that Youtube viewers are taking him for granted by not watching him and boosting his views and they'll regret it if he's gone. Even though they're not watching him because they're not interested, which means that if he goes away then they won't care.

 

[Freshtodeath]

I'm a little late on this but apparently he's making an emergency video. HELP IM BROKE CAUSE I BOUGHT A SUBURU

 

[Mr.PiggyOinkOinkOink]

Welp everyone “the rage salt is real”

Dave just died in persona 5 to random adds after a chunk of time not saving because his whole team got afflicted with rage and killed themselves.

 

[Anonymous Dimwit]

>It's okay if you don't support someone who has millions of views since they don't need it but I'M DIFFERENT.
>I can't go back to work since I'd make less than what I do now (I'm too good for the jobs you peasants have *snort*)
>What did I do wrong? Why should I lose my fucking house and have insanely bad credit since I did nothing wrong and Google and YouTube are a terrible fucking company
This is THE most self-entitled, arrogant, condescending and greedy I've ever seen this ass be on stream.

 

[Kermit the Frog]

I know Phil didn't want to admit it, but is this confirmation that his AdSense appeal was denied and DSPgaming is officially dead (as an income source, that is)? He must have gotten an email during the break and looked up how much he is making from KOG, leading to this rant and the "special ALERT" announcement on Twitter. He's without a doubt moving exclusively to Twitch and leaving his YT channels to rot, giving his fans the ultimatum to either stay and pay or leave/"do or die" as he puts it. It's telling he'd rather burn the YT bridge completely than "settle" for an extra $300 every month for uploading hour long videos. The greed is MASSIVELY strong with the Pigroach. I really hope this backfires on him badly. If there's one thing most people hate being given, it's ultimatums.

 

[Wing Zero]

It's only gonna get worse from here too. Now his paypigs have to make up the difference when even with all the donations, they still only contributed to 60% of his income.

 

[ZehnBoat]

Does...does Phil actually think his fans need him more than he needs them?

considering how stupid phil's fans are, it's not surprising someone thinks they need phil more then phil needs them. these guys get brow beaten by phil once a week and they keep crawling back on their knees going "PLZ PHIL I GIB MONEY I SOWWY!!!"
the average phil fan has to be reminded to breath

this is not even counting the near religious attitudes some fans, and even phil, have.

 

[actually]

Today's bat-shittery:

Unique cheerers: 58
Total cheers: 155
Final bit total is: $106.75
Average cheer: $0.69

Subs: 44 [44@$4.99, 0@$9.99, 0@$24.99, 19 gifted, 13 Twitch subs (29.55%), 8 total resubs (18.18%), 5 Twitch resubs (11.36%) ]
Known sub money is: $110.00
Total Subs (via decapi): 456

Twitch range is: $216.75

Add on ~$120 in tips, and Phil got around $335-340 (at least). Also, LOL at 68 goddamn gifted subs, and he was trying to push for more to get to 475 b/c the previous Patrons' Choice games were "successful" (read: people paid me even more money on top of subbing and giving me money on Patreon to play the games poorly).


As for the Youtube stuff, the ultimatum video would seem to indicate that he expects (or got) bad news, but I won't believe it until he actually says outright that DSPgaming is done.

 

[Equinox_]

Watching that video and screenshots of him in chat. Saying stuff like that they (Youtube audience) "NEED" to step up and give him money. Makes it really hard to not get mad over the internet over him. I haven't been following DSP as much as others so maybe this is something he's done before. But this shit baffled me.

I believe he is in panic mode at this point. Which leads me to believe he actually lives "paycheck to paycheck"
