DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Shick]

DSP, of course, doing what he does best, insulting the chat (isnt this against Twitch TOS?)

It is not. Prolonged harassment of specific individuals or other stream communities is, but Twitch isn't going to blink if you call someone in your own chat a retard or a moron once and move on. Note that they also claim to consider context when reviewing reports, so in the event that someone is trying to provoke that reaction, I assume they would be more lenient.

Its crazy how much success Phil might have if he just admitted he was bad at games. Embrace that he's a weird scrub, and just play off that. Who cares if you go 0-80 online, when you have people paying you to do so. But because he dindu nuffin, he will just sit and cry in his big boy office

I'd like to think that he wouldn't be successful if he (some what) simply started admitting he was bad at games / playing up to it. He may be (again, somewhat) more entertaining (all relative) but he would still be a lazy, delusional 40yr old playing games poorly.

I don't think he has the personality to be entertaining. He is too far gone - eg he seems to turn on all ppl 1 way or another eventually, his paranoia & laziness / complaining etc etc etc

Regarding his personality:
"There are some individuals out there who are all but impossible to get along with. Their arrogance causes them to see themselves as all but infallible while everyone else deserves to be criticized intensely. These individuals are known as narcissists, and it’s very likely you know at least one. Narcissists are manipulative and can learn to cover up their nature when someone is first getting to know them, though over time, they will often reveal their true selves".

I’ve contested for a while now that if Phil just embraced his fucking meme status and just let the trolling roll off his back, he could be making fuckin Metokur money.

But that requires humility, a trait (and a word) that Phil is not familiar with in the slightest. His head is way too big, he doesn’t understand that his ten years on the Internet is NOT A BRAGGING POINT. He’s losing subs, nobody tips, people are slowly (but surely) collectively getting tired of his shit.

All he has to do is learn to laugh at himself, and I genuinely think he could be successful playing off of detractor memes and shit. But he’s far too proud. We will never see Phil admit fault or take responsibility for ANYTHING.

It amazes me everytime that..............

a channel with 180k subscriber uploads a video 5 DAYS ago and get 4 VIEWS, that's less than 1 view per day for the 180k subscriber channel, tell me this channel is not dead.........

Just a reminder that twitch won’t do anything about DSP for his everyday crap for the foreseeable future. He’s a partner and since his two suspensions most likely has someone at twitch watching his back, and twitch in general is incredibly lenient on their partners. Unless dave starts dropping the N word or whips out his dick I wouldn’t hold your breath. He’s just small enough to where he basically can hide in a corner of the site that nobody will care what he does except the people that already know about him. He does nothing to damage twitch as a whole so they don’t give a shit and keep making this *rubs fingers together

 

[Slander Man]

He treats his own chat like they are out to get him instead of fans. The whole chat wanted online mode but he pretty much taunts them as he starts the SECOND story mode as if to say nanner nanner nanner.

It continues to boggle my mind how oblivious he is on how to be a successful streamer. "I can't believe I dont have any tips yet!" Proceeds to ignore his entire chat.

I honestly believe his severe narcissism is hindering his success. In his fucked up mind he thinks "nobody tells me what to do on MY stream" but any other streamer would gladly oblige his fans and go online. "Ok guys everyone wants online play so let's check it out. Just bear with me while I learn the moves and timing, it might be rough for a minute." How hard is that?

I've seen him do this seemingly more and more often. IDK if it's just me seeing the worst in him or if he just is getting worse though. It seems like the very slight pretense he has of interacting with his chat is becoming too much for him to uphold. If this does become common place, I wonder how long before he openly starts mocking mods. We've seen him mock them with a thin veil but openly can't be too far off.

This is what happens when you take the "us vs them" seriously. He says he's above the drama and everything but he constantly does things to attract the attention he claims is unwarranted. Mocking them will only lead to a net loss.

He can't afford to lose more than he already has.

 

[Haunter]

Prolonged harassment of specific individuals or other stream communities is, but Twitch isn't going to blink if you call someone in your own chat an exceptional individual or a moron once and move on.

Harassment seems to become a problem for Twitch (and every contemporary large corporation) when you attack a viewer's identity: physical characteristics, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Mocking someone's appearance was what got Phil his second suspension. The steamer's identity being a generally obnoxious dick, however, is fine.

Just a reminder that twitch won’t do anything about DSP for his everyday crap for the foreseeable future.

I'm thinking that an annoyance like Phil is just something that comes with a steaming platform (or the administration of any large community). There's too many generally obnoxious people to police them all effectively.

He was honestly sitting on gold dust way back. If in 2013 when the initial TIHYDP's and the retsupraes came out, he played up to it all, he'd have made bank. He still had a following then too so he'd have been adding to it. In all honesty, I think his biggest mistake ever was not embracing the shitty gamer guy gimmick he could have had. Not only because it'd attract more people to see him be shit at games, but all the tantrums and attempts to fight back at the criticism and people poking fun at him is what identified him as easy troll bait and created the snowball that is today.

It’s an oldie, but a goodie. That part with the iPad had me rolling years back.

"nobody tells me what to do on MY stream"

He really does see himself as King of his realm and chat are his subjects. Disagree with the King of Hate?! I'm just going to Ban!-ish you from My realm FOREVER! Or until later this eve depending on whether the Sheriff of Swagginham successfully crushes the resulting discontent.

It's not even true, I've seen him purposefully hold the stream up until people tell him what to do in games.

 

[Coin Ops]

This just in! People who wanted online play are "brats! who are not here to have fun, so screw them!" lol that was half your chat you fucking madman.

Hate to defend him here, but I believe those were the videos that got copyright blocked, so they only just went actually live. Hence the poor views. On the whole, though, you're right. He's fortunate to get more than 1k views in the few few days. That's why his 30 day view total is sitting around 900K. Looks like that's his new normal, down from ~1.3-1.7M monthly views.

Man with business degree struggles to grasp the concept of giving the consumer what they want. Stay classy, Dave.

Does anyone know if it matters if the subject of the harassment making a report matters? Like if the person being mocked doesn't report it does Twitch still take action or turn a blind eye?

They have been turning a blind eye for an awful long time now. Masturbating on stream, would it have been ANYONE else, would result in a permaban. Mocking and threatening violence on an 11 year old... Anyone else would’ve been fucking crucified.

He did the masturbation on YouTube. The 11 year old thing is unescusable, but he was suspended for something else shortly after.

 

[samovski]

So has he not received a tip at all tonight? If not has this ever happened before? I've personally never seen it happen, he usually seems to have someone donate something.
