I don’t think anyone really hates DSP. The sort of hate that keeps you up at night, I mean. The type of hate where if someone even mentions their name it ruins your day. I don’t think there’s anyone on this planet who get bummed out if someone says anything about Phil, with the exception of panda and she gets a pass because that’s a normal response when someone brings up an ex you wasted a lot of time dating.
I’ll even say Fred and the SoK brigade who stuck around don’t really hate the guy. Tevin only gets pissy about Phil when he’s drinking and Phil shits on him harder than usual and gets personal during a steam, but tevin gets over it pretty quick because the detractors throw money at him when Phil starts cutting a bit deeper than usual. You can tell when Tevin starts to feel bad about letting it get to him because he’ll do charity stuff or get active on mixer and leverage his detractor fame to do other stuff.
It’s not a question of black and white, or two extremes. I believe he has genuine fans, people who are apathetic, and people who have a good time making fun of him. I don’t believe people either love him or hate him, which seems to be the narrative he pushes.
Hate? No.
I'd say that DSP is actually one of my favorite channels on YT.
I never watch his streams or videos, but the TIHYDP compilations gave me hours and hours of enjoyment back in the day.
Also his antics always make my day, how can you hate such an entertaining trainwreck?

The only thing i hate is when Phil mistreats his fans, abuses his power to hurt smaller channels and tries to scam people. But i don't hate Phil otherwise.
