Yep. I know people shitted on the old DSP too (2009-2011 I think, whenever he first started) but he sounded like an average bro back then. Like I could see myself having a beer with him and freaking out over video games. Sure he was still "edgy" with his "Faggot" and "exceptional individual" and acting like the King of Hate but he had more personality and was funny. Then the money and everything got to his head. Then he refused to change with the times. And then he started fighting with his audience and making an ass out of himself. And now he just sort of exists or says mundane shit the entire time.
Pisses me off too because if he had just GOTTEN OUT OF HIS OWN WAY he'd be fine. If he didn't have such an ego about everything he'd be fine. If he just chilled the fuck out he'd be fine. Everything he did was to show off or shut down the haters. If he'd have just stayed in Connecticut, sure buy some stuff but saved the rest of his money, make small upgrades to his production and listened to some of his detractors or at the very least do a typical PR move of ignoring or "smile, acknowledge, move on" he'd be good. No one's demanding he do highly edited videos or have a huge production team or anything. I mean he's kinda proved he can make a decent profit off the half ass shit he's doing now. It'd just be way more sustainable if he was living like he was in 09 then trying to cover the costs of all the hella extra shit he's trying to do now. No way he can sit there and say it'd be more expensive to live modestly back in Conn than to have everything he has going on now. No fucking way.
And he'd still have his friends and family, he'd still have Panda, and even if he had some crises along the way, all those hundreds of thousands he was making every year he'd be totally fine. No lie that's a chill bachelor pad he had, I'd move in there if Phil took all his shit out and rented it to me.
But nah he has to show out, prove he's The King (whatever that is), silence the haters and gotta have everyone else suck his dick. Couldn't just lay low, take some Ls along the way and bank the rest. Hell if he'd have just stayed in Conn (and saved his money) he could probably have whatever schedule he likes now too. He could "work" like 3 days a week and then "chill" the other days. Or do actual special streams like 24hr streams or how Lethalfrag did his 2 year stream but on a smaller scale (say a month) and then take a couple weeks off while uploading the shit to youtube. Guarantee people would tune in and "participate". People love being a part of those gimmick streams. But yeah he'd have total control over his schedule, he'd even have the freedom to experiment or just be a lazy ass. But he pissed all of that trying to prove himself to people who honestly don't give a fuck. They post some shit, have a laugh and move on. Meanwhile Phil's out buying houses he can't afford and moving across the country to try and shut down his critics. Who does that?
