He was getting as many or more views in a single DAY as he gets per month now. Their CPM rates as listed are $0.75 - $8, so the range is huge, but this was also when Phil had the "per view" contract with Machinima. I'm betting they did a similar "$X per 1000 views" system, but it was probably based solely on the number of video views. So yeah, Phil could easily have been making $150k-$200k, if not a good bit more, at that time.
Edit: I realize you were mostly curious about his income from Twitch. It looks like he was partnered around June 2013 (based on his Twitter), but @EddyB43 only had him making $1000 or so in December 2016, so I can't imagine he was making a ton more on his first go-round with Twitch, especially since I think they only had subscriptions and ads as forms of revenue at that point (we can recall Phil's tweet about bits being introduced in 2016, shortly before he crawled back: https://twitter.com/TheyCallMeDSP/status/747578105292718080).
I love how he tags them in every tweet, too, like it's not enough he's talking shit. He needs to somehow rub his greasy balls all over their mentions like whatever poor schmuck intern is running their account gives even the slightest fuck.
Is it just me, or does he really seem to struggle with X8 + 5 addition? Like...really seems like the ones you point out are pretty much all in that vein.

Nah, not really. At least, from what I can tell. Out of the 12 instances I've spotted, 3 of them are X8 + 5 (38 + 5 = 42 and two times 28 + 5= 32). So, meh, could be a coincidence.
The only real consistency I can spot is that the result of the sum is $1 short of what it's supposed/intended to be almost every time. Only once this wasn't the case, when he added up 87 and 21, and he somehow managed to end up with '98' as the result of that.
@actually How much work would it take to grep and uniq through chat logs to see how many unique chatters he has on average per month and add that to round-ups?
I don't have many chat logs after a re-install but I can write a script to do it.

I could probably use UserIDs to determine that. I already note how many unique cheerers and tippers there are as well as how many unique subs talk in chat (was curious how many of his subs actually say anything).

I remember a while back someone on here had posted a word document or something like that which was basically a huge document detailing DSP has ever done on the internet documenting him from around 2000 to today. Anyone have a link to it? I'm to retarded to find it myself.

if he can get away with any number below the actual number he will, remember when phil said "other streamers are committing fraud by not hounding their fans about taxes" im pretty sure that was a slip up of his because it sounds like he's trying to cover for actually committing fraud by saying "im talking about it so i can't be wrong"

@SoapQueen1, per your request, here's the number of unique (as determined by userid, so it shouldn't double-count accounts with changed names) chatters during the month of September so far. For comparison, I've also included the number of unique cheerers (which I believe is by username, so it would count changed names as two different people).
Unique chatters: 4162
Unique cheerers: 208
A higher number of chatters than I would have guessed, but then I think about the number of shitposting accounts that are made, and it makes more sense.
Some prime pignosis from today's (09/25/19) Borderlands 3: Please Talk To Me Because Nobody Likes Watching Me Play This Game stream.
After his mid-stream break, The Snort & Sniff Grifter took some bait and dropped some pignosis in order to defend his lazy e-begging lifestyle.
Philip "Darksydephil" Burnell did not choose the E-Beggar Life, the E-Beggar Life chose Philip "Darksydephil" Burnell.
"Some people just have issues with, I guess, what they call e-begging? Which is hilarious! Because, pretty much every single streamer out there does it!"
"Some people just think that I'm full of it! And that I don't need financial help! That, apparently, I have money, that I'm storing in the Cayman Islands Bank. Or something. When in reality, I'm struggling to pay my bills every single month! And-- And make ends meet."
"Because, any other valid reason - isn't valid! A lot of the criticisms people used to have for me in the past, don't apply anymore!"
[2019-09-25 21:26:18 UTC] reaperkr3w: cheer500 I guess I'm new to this but I gotta ask...why don't mfs hate you so goddamn much? I'm not trying to troll I'm genuinely curious.
You'd have to ask them.
Some people just have issues with, I guess, what they call e-begging?
Which is hilarious!
Because, pretty much every single streamer out there does it!
Uhm.
But, I basically have to do a little bit more, because financially, things have been really bad for me, the past couple of years.
And in particular, this--
Uh.
Summer!
Was really, really bad for me, because of shit behind the scenes.
That I don't talk about!
Because it's none of anyone's business!
Alright?
Some people just think that I'm full of it!
And that I don't need financial help!
That, apparently, I have money, that I'm storing in the Cayman Islands Bank.
Or something.
When in reality, I'm struggling to pay my bills every single month!
And--
And make ends meet.
Uhm.
But that's just life, I guess.
You know?
I have fans--
Long-time viewers and fans, who support me.
And want me to keep doing this.
And want me to be able to, not go into--
You know?
Losing everything!
So they help me!
And that's cool!
But, I guess, a lot of people hate that!
They like the fact that a lot of people support me.
And they think that I'm a hypocrite!
And they're thinking all this crap.
I don't know!
That's what I would think for today!
Because, any other valid reason - isn't valid!
A lot of the criticisms people used to have for me in the past, don't apply anymore!
So.
Outside of that, I can't think of another reason.
Uhm.
So.
There you go. *LIP SMACK!*
Okay? *GOAT LAUGH*
"Dude! Anytime you ask for a contribution, people will call it begging!"
"It's also called Crowdfunding!"
"Obviously, those that don't like me are going to call it e-begging!"
"It's called, 'You need funds to survive! Because you provide a free service as a job!'
I don't charge for the service of putting out my streams and videos. But I need people to contribute, in order to pay my bills!"
Crashbanditcooper tipped me another dollar!
He says,
'You just admitted to begging! Holy shit! Have you given in to the term?'
Dude!
Anytime you ask for a contribution, people will call it begging! *MOUSE CLICK*
*TURNS ON FACECAM, LOOKS TERRIBLE*
You see what I mean?
Like. *LEG SLAP TO SIGNAL ACTIVATION OF PIGNOSIS*
Can you--
You know? *LEG SLAP*
*ACTIVATES BEGGING EYES*
'Please contribute to the streams if you want to see them continue.' *THUMBS UP FOR CONTRIBUTIONS*
*DEACTIVATES BEGGING EYES*
That's e-begging!
According to some people! *SHRUG*
Okay! *LEG SLAP*
*THROAT CLEAR*
It's also called Crowdfunding! *LEG SLAP*
It's also called--
You know? *ACTIVATES FLAILING HANDS*
Tips!
Or contribut--
Whatever you want to call it!
The thing is, people term it differently to have it make--
Have positive or--
Or negative connotations. *PIG SNORT*
*DEACTIVATES FLAILING HANDS*
*LIP SMACK!*
So.
Obviously, those that don't like me are going to call it e-begging! *SHRUG*
Right?!
Right!
It doesn't matter, though!
It's all the same thing!
It's called, 'You need funds to survive! Because you provide a free service as a job!'
I don't charge for the service of putting out my streams and videos.
But I need people to contribute, in order to pay my bills! *SHRUG*
So.
If you call it e-begging - fine, I guess? *HALF-SHRUG. TOO LAZY TO DO A FULL SHRUG*
*LEG SLAP*
But, the bottom line is, I was doing this way before I was doing a living.
I made videos for YouTube, two and a half years before I ever monetized anything!
Because, I loved doing it as a hobby!
It wasn't only out of Nuh-Cess-Uh-Tee!
When I lost the actual job that I was doing, to pay--
To pay my bills.
That I ended up making a living out of YouTube.
Right?
So. *SHRUG*
And, then it was only out of Nuh-Cess-Uh-Tee!
When YouTube fell apart!
In 2017!
That I became a Full Time Streamer, who relied on constant stream contributions!
So.
It's, like, out of necessity, I've fallen into the lifestyle and the job that I have!
It wasn't that I actively chose to do this, or even wanted to do this!
I didn't!
I was just doing YouTube as a hobby!
It was only out of necessity that it ended up turning into this!
You know? *WAVES HANDS AROUND LIKE A DUMBASS*
Some people still hate me for it!
So.
Whatever.
What are you going to say?
Right? *SNIFF*
*LIP SMACK!*
Okay.
"Some people just have issues with, I guess, what they call e-begging? Which is hilarious! Because, pretty much every single streamer out there does it!"
A lot of streamers ask for monetary contributions, either in exchange for something or just as a flat out donation, but I've never seen another streamer who will guilt trip and emotionally manipulate their viewers like Darksydephil does.
"It's called, 'You need funds to survive! Because you provide a free service as a job!'
I don't charge for the service of putting out my streams and videos. But I need people to contribute, in order to pay my bills!"
Only Darksydephil's deranged brain would consider his low-effort, antagonistic, gameplay streams a service that people should collectively pay him $100k+ a year for.
What's funny is that, the criticisms that DSP is now saying in hindsight were valid, were things that he was calling invalid when they were originally made back then.
By the way, what past valid criticisms is DSP referring to?
It doesn't matter, because he's just trying to instill the lie into his paypigs that he's matured and has improved. He hasn't. He's only gotten worse.
"It's, like, out of necessity, I've fallen into the lifestyle and the job that I have!
It wasn't that I actively chose to do this, or even wanted to do this!"
DSP actively chose his lifestyle, when he decided to pursue doing YouTube videos full time instead of trying to look for another job when he was laid off.
DSP actively chose to be a greasy e-beggar when his income began to decline, and refused to downscale his lifestyle, and decided that his viewers should directly pay for his high monthly living expenses.
It still boggles my mind that he can't make due with the $6k - $10k he makes a month.
How irresponsible with their finances can someone be?
