Does Phil's claim that Tevin uses viewbots have any validity?

Does Phil's claim that Tevin uses viewbots have any validity?

I believe he was promoting a viewbot site or Twitter follower bot site years ago, and DSP saw that. So now there's no possible way Tevin or any detractor gets more views than him without bots.

 

[tzgnilki]

indeed he is and eventually theres a tipping point.

what i dont get is he mentions the back tax amount and 20k sounds like a lot of money but its really not adding up. based on basic round about numbers taxes can take about 1/3 of ur total yearly income. if phil makes $100k a year he should be looking at around $35k in state and federal taxes per year. im not sure how he was able to write off so much income over those years of back taxes to reduce the amount he can be taxed for plus fees to only 20k. i know there are some very slick ways you can get around tax costs to reduce the amount you owe but the amount he would need to drop it down by seem impossible to me even with the most fiscally responsible folks. here are a few things we know:

I remember someone worked out his "back taxes" was 3 years of b&o taxes, which was $6,000

ontop of his yearly $16,000 federal taxes, then his "tax guy" is $1,250 of that, it kinda works out

one audit and he'll probably just be fined but pretend like it's the end of the world

He can't stop complaining about how DK64 sucks and how he hates playing it

DSP is jerking off the new Twitch shadowban feature.

From what I've heard if you are banned in a streamer's chat, any accounts using your IP will also get banned in that user's chat. I think it's intended to prevent people from doing exactly what DSP trolls do, make new accounts over and over.

remember dsp needed his isp to come out and change his ip for him, he thinks everyone is dumber than him

Does Phil's claim that Tevin uses viewbots have any validity?

Just from my experience in the black man's chat, I believe all 1,200-1,500 are legitimate, participating human beings. The damn chat moves so fast stuff disappears before I can even read it, even when Angry Crow isn't spamming it. Certainly moves a lot faster than darks.

Darks claims the criminal black man viewbots because he can't help himself from projecting the fact that he himself viewbots a large portion of his view count. 300-400 wheelchairs watching and vying for the pig's attention with a chat that moves that slow? X to goubt that.

Additionally, I've never seen Tevin place any importance on flexing on dark. He just sits there and laughs when he contradicts himself. The only time I've ever heard him mention it was when dark was condescending about him only getting ~50 viewers but now conveniently doesn't pay any attention to it. Tevin finds it funny that he dwarfs DSPs view count, but I've never seen him place any social importance on it.

Plus, all of this on top of the fact that if it ever came out that Tevin was botting his stream, it would be a true discredit to everyone and darks would never, ever let that shit go. It'd be darks greatest life accomplishment. We'd be hearing about it all the way to his death bed. The risk in doing so would be huge.

Of course, Tevin could be viewbotting, but the evidence points to no. His chat, DSPs mental gymnasium, Tevins character, and the risks involved would indicate that he doesn't. Phil's just projecting as usual.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

This is why I love how narcissists have no capacity for self reflection.

There are at least two restreamers, Tevin and LSB, that constantly get more live views than DSP himself. Detractor recap videos get more views than all his day's Youtube videos combined.

At some point, a rational person would ask themselves "Why are restreamers getting more viewers than me? What are they providing their audience that I am not?"

Instead, DSP just writes them off as dumb fuck idiot troll kids and moves on with his life, making no efforts to improve his own stream because he's doing nothing wrong and in fact is doing everything correctly.

If Phil had an ounce of self-awareness, he could've taken the criticisms to heart and reworked his channel to give himself a specific gimmick. This would have set him apart from the pack, particularly when YouTubers like PewDiePie and Markiplier started getting more views than him. This is not without precedent: one YouTuber I subscribe to, The Spiffing Brit, plays games where he finds exploits to completely and utterly break the game (to compare him to Phil, Spiff routinely gets 500k views per video).
For example, instead of doing playthroughs, Phil could fail at a given game, but do so in exceedingly spectacular ways (for example, in the insufferable Escort Mister McGuffin missions, what's the most outlandish way Mister McGuffin can be killed/gotten rid of so we fail the mission?)
But this would require a little brainpower and some production work, things Phil isn't willing to put into his videos. He wants the 1 million+ views without the work.
And that's why Phil will always be a lolcow, even if he survives the bankruptcy saga.

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

The only thing that makes me suspicious of Tevin is that his numbers are very consistent and always crushing Phil's. LSB has lesser numbers sometimes. There isn't always interesting drama when it comes to Phil. I'd also think Tevin's chat would be near the point of unreadable with 1500 viewers, many of whom are attention starved autists hungry to spew shit about Phil, but I might be underestimating the amount of people who use Tevin as background noise.

"Uh... why is
drdisrespect

no doubt wwe's biggest fan will be upset with one of his peers getting a shoutout from wwe themselves

Can confirm that the Shadow Ban feature does work as two of my alt accounts can communicate in the chat but my messages cannot be seen by anyone else.

Tevin did have a viewbot problem over the past few years. People who were pro-DSP were doing it as a way to fuck over Tevin in some childish way. The last time there was a bot issue was after the twitch ban, there were two youtube streams where Tevin had like 10,000 concurrent views.

 

[actually]

I remember someone worked out his "back taxes" was 3 years of b&o taxes, which was $6,000

Yeah, that was me. I did it based on him saying it was "thousands, but not more than $10,000" at some point. So I took half of $10,000 ($5000), and figured out that that comes out to $333,333 of gross income based on the highest B&O tax rate. Phil owed for 2014, 2015, and 2016. Depending on whether he owed the money for 2.5 or 3 years (since he moved in 2014), his annual income was like $111,111 a year on average or $133,333 a year. Based on what we know now (and what makes the most sense), it was the latter.

Unfortunately that's before these disputed business expenses, so it doesn't really tell us anything about what his expenses really are. It's too bad.

Yeah, because the tax is on gross income, the only thing it really tells us is that he shouldn't be in this situation to start with, having made well more than $100k a year for several years.

iirc, there was a point where it looked like phil or one of his wheelchairs was viewbotting him
and phil immediately went on the defensive screaming that tevin was viewbotting his streams

If Phil had an ounce of self-awareness, he could've taken the criticisms to heart and reworked his channel to give himself a specific gimmick.

he has a gimmick
but it's old and he doesn't do it anyway
it's RAGE
remember 10 years ago or so when people got angry? haha, wasn't that funny?
well phil still does it... except he doesn't. instead you get phil playing doom like a stealth game

yeah a few days after phil screamed bloody murder about tevin he suddenly gets botted
all the while tevin has no clue what's going on
and then nothing came of it

DSP's evolution of sympathy begging:

"I'm going to lose my YT channel!"

"I'm going to lose my streams!"

"I'm going to lose my house!"

"I'm going to lose my Khet!"

"I'll fucking go to jail!"

 

[King Daddy Telomerase]

Phil admitted he fakes rage for Street Fighter in the last Friday stream. That's his gimmick that nobody cares about anymore since it's obviously staged and played out.

If Phil was business smart at all, he'd have taken the loser that sucks at games gimmick to high levels like others have, but we've been through that enough.

Fake rage? Mmm, maybe I’ll have to check out that restream. Clown mode is obviously fake, but i don’t think some, if not most of the salt from losing is fake. Specially if he loses to someone he remembers the name of
