I remember that. There was also a time in June of this year, when Warner Bros. went ape shit on MK11 content on YouTube. Videos of everything were getting hit left and right by Water Tower Records (Warner Bros. Music); for the in game music tracks. Nothing done by an actual musician that got some sort of big release in the normie music sphere, actual music made specifically for MK11. I myself got over a dozen hits on shit I did, despite having videos up for months before it happened. So sometime, somewhere, someone did something and a switch got flipped or something which made their automatic system go fucking nuts and start handing shit out left and right. They cleared it up in a week or so IIRC (I don't rely on YT money, so I don't get serious about it, so didn't pay attention); but I still remember that.
Phil's problem is he related everything to money, no matter how big or small. "Oh fuck, a song, well there goes my money. Fucking Kojima and his stupid fucking music ruining my fucking adsense." - "No one fucking cares, shut up and dance monkey." Which is why I don't get how he has fans who have/make their own money. Sure we can have deep conversations about if detractors who throw quarters at him are fans or not. But I mean the whales; if you're not rolling in Bill Gates or Elon Musk level of money, why give anything to him. But even then, because if you are on that level, you probably eat, sleep, and breathe, whatever you do. You don't get weekends off, not even one day to spend with your full-time live-in soul-maid. You want to take a vacation, you can, but you're gonna be doing business down on the beach with your laptop and satellite phone. Phil walks 20 to 50 feet from his bedroom to his office and bitches about being in arears. How can anything besides children who don't know what work is give money to him.
