The weirdest thing about all of this to me is the whole turning off the recording for YT shit he does when you consider a few things:
1. He knows his entire streams get recorded and any potentially incriminating parts get uploaded to YT anyway.
2. He knows detractor vids get like 20x (on the low end) the views that his own videos get, so more people are going to see what he chooses to not upload.
3. He tries to pull this weird double act of claiming that he mainly "works" for his Twitch audience, and that his YT audience is secondary and the channel is "just an archive", but he'll refuse to do certain things because his YT audience won't understand or care (think the Wings incident during the Dark Souls "Magic" Run where he paused to bitch for like 5 minutes about it).
4. He will routinely pull shit like saying his chat is all agreeing with him when they're obviously in disagreement. An obvious recent example is him save scumming in the DKC games:
--He sort of off-hand asked his chat if they wanted to see him do the same stages without save scumming, or to save scum and make progress, and literally every single person who responded said they would rather him not save scum, but he then announces that everyone in stream chat wants him to make progress and "have fun, not struggle with the same stages".
--He talks to this invisible YT audience that he says he doesn't care about when every single person in his stream chat can tell that he's obviously lying, because they're reading what he's contradicting. And on top of that, he has no connection with this invisible audience because he has his comments disabled. It's just fucking bizarre, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING TO, PHIL?
It's just so fucking weird. I mean, it's not hard to presume why he does it, but why blatantly lie about the shit to your Twitch audience when they're sitting there disagreeing with him in his face. He just pretends they don't exist. Twitch obviously brings in more money than YT does, why would you try to still cater to YT when all the shit you're trying to do to save face by not recording/acknowledging certain things ends up on there anyway and viewed by a much larger audience?
