Just a quote from Phil right now.

"They take something from the past, and act like it matters today"

My response to this: 4th place.

 

[James Smith]

Someone asked why he freaked out about losing monetization if YouTube doesn't matter. His response:

If you're talking about something that happened a year and a half ago it doesn't apply to the modern era.

Hey man, hindsight is 50/50, dood.

 

[Shambler]

"you know by ranting you're giving them content, are you daft? regardless they clip me going 'blplplp, flapping my lips, flplpllp' they'll upload regardless"
phil im going to tell you, i would not be sitting here if you didn't go on a spergtastic rant about how we don't affect you, but you're angry you can't sue us or youtube

Who plays a game for two hours while CONSTANTLY saying he doesn't care about this game, thank god I don't care or else I'd be mad I died! Can you believe they charge for this game? This game sucks dude. I'm glad I don't care about it.

 

[tzgnilki]

phil thinks cod is for mature adults and fortnite is for kids who buy sprinkles that come out of their charcater's ass when they run

lmao

 

[James Smith]

So, to the people who know the lore: How popular did Philip get?

At the height of his career he was getting 12 million views per month.

• PewDiePie was getting 100+ million.
• Machinima was getting 60-70 million.
• smosh was getting 60 million.
• JennaMarbles was getting 50 million.
• RayWilliamJohnson was getting 30-50 million.
• Collegehumor was getting 30-40 million.
• nigahiga was getting 25-30 million.
• freddiew was getting 15-20 million.
• FPSRussia was getting 10-15 million.

DSP was a nobody. He just thought he was hot shit the same way he thinks he's hot shit today.

He wasn't viraly popular, but he was in the top 10 of YT every week for 2-3 years. Mostly under comedians though.

Yeah he blatantly lied about what category his videos belonged in and got these little Top 10 awards constantly.

It's a real life Al Bundy "4 touchdowns in one game."

 

[Kermit the Frog]

Phil is one of the most stuck in the past, stubborn manbabies on the internet. If it were up to Phil, he'd still be pointing a camera at his television and yelling like a lunatic to nobody while laying down on his couch, spamming dozens of 10 minute videos daily to take advantage of YouTube's flawed algorithms and rake in the easy money. Minimum effort, maximum bullshit. He complains about having to stream, he complains about "working" 6 days a week, he complains about the schedule he makes for himself that he can change at any time, he complains about wearing headphones (apparently it's the reason why he's going bald), he complains about having to keep the chat entertained, he complains about all the STOOPID questions the chat asks him, he complains about every little insignificant thing that ever happens in his life (MUH APPOINTMENTS, MUH EXERCISE BIKE) as if anybody cares. On a daily basis he retells his life story, then without a hint of irony whines about people bringing up the past to him. Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing. Always the victim, it's never his fault. My god, grow the fuck up already and take control of your life. He's still the same exact person with the same exact mentality he was all those years ago.

 

[Forbidden Math]

Makes so much sense. Just another lie to spin to make himself feel important.

Edit so I don't double post: He's like a prize fighter that never even made it but keeps talking like he was the best in the world. Honestly he does the same thing with Street Fighter so no surprises there.

 

[JamFlowMan]

He wasn't viraly popular, but he was in the top 10 of YT every week for 2-3 years. Mostly under comedians though.

Rarely got over 1 million views on a video and he never got past 190K subscribers with 2 main channels.

Not too long ago was interested in Phil's most watched videos, and it was kind of pathetic. Only looked at Dspgaming but in his 10 year legacy he only has 3 videos on that channel over a million views.
Edit Oh how could I have forgotten the Homefront review. That has to be over a million by now.

So, hope you all have been well, been mostly keeping away from the DSPhere and am quite content. But I've been hearing the outcries of you-tubers getting demonetized, namingly when McJuggernuggets basically made his video about leaving youtube.

Has this affected DSP any? Most of his playthroughs have 'video game violence', or will it?

dave still makes approx $800 a month on youtube

that's a lot but he considers it basically nothing

 

[Raven'sChild]

doesn't DSP use wifi instead of a wired connection?

I hope you're wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if you aren't. Surely even Dave would just plug in some ethernet cables.

He uses a wired connection. It is the reason he used for why he absolutely had to have his equipment set up the way it is: due to the internet coming in through that one wall forcing him put his tower where it is because that is where his modem had to be.

I forget where that was from, but I definitely remember DSP complaining that Machinima "had no direction" because they were trying to branch out into different things and DSP said that "nobody cared about any of that other stuff".

Also, remember when he said Machinima got him a tryout commentating video game tournaments and DSP took it as "Machinima wanted me to abandon video game playthroughs"?

His Machinima handler early on attempted to get him to try commentating fighting game tournaments. D$P scoffed at this idea saying he didn't see it helping his playthrough channel and dismissing the guy as a hack who wasn't offering him any helpful advice to help grow dspgaming.

Someone asked why he freaked out about losing monetization if YouTube doesn't matter. His response:

Not a moment later he stated that "it was as recent as 2 YEARS ago " that the false copyright claims ruined dspgaming.

Didn't the fan art strikes happen at the end of 2015? Unless he is talking about the Atlus/Rockstar strikes but nothing came of that.

Thank god, with how much he constantly bangs on about his or his opponents interenet I was hoping he didn't go full re/tard and play by wireless.

Can't buy longer wires dood! I don't have money to do it.

Also, air conditioning is bad for computers; it makes them too cold.

 

[Meerkat Ink]

It's like he's telling you he's the class president, then later on you find out he's class president for summer school and all 22 people that go to it.

You know, like, uhm... EVO

 

[Very Honest Content]

Yeah, and remember, ...It's like he's telling you he's the class president, then later on you find out he's class president for summer school and all 22 people that go to it.

That's insulting to summer school class presidents and all the real work put in it takes to get there. It was more like in school detention class president before release back into general population.

The Penne Points system triggered that extremely lengthy rant on trolls during his battle royale stream. This is the vehicle of his own undoing potentially and it will no longer cost you $.50 to $1.00 at the minimum, just some time invested watching his channel now instead. It will not be long for the world after the first temp ban gets handed out for a well crafted bait comment resulting from the use of it.

He WILL get rid of them. He only got into it in the first place cause hoped twtich will monetize them and he will get some of that.
