I dunno, I mean most people find out about him because of either DSP being used as an example of a terrible person, or they hear that title in an ego trip of himself when they talk about him.
Oh keep in mind it's not positive credit, it''s just surprise. I find it way funnier as it is because if his scene died sooner Phil probably wouldn't be in the situation he is now. But since he has to bank on the fans (and has a massive fucking ego) it just makes it way funnier trying to coerce people into tipping but also be his natural DSP self on stream. Now that we know it's just him being a fucking moron on not paying his mortgage that whole scene playing out is going to be way fucking funnier since more people are gonna know he fucked up, will probably get banned from chat posting about it, and Phil is gonna be squirming like a worm trying to get tips.
