Because he was noticeably getting fat tbh.
And it really, really doesn’t fucking add anything to videos. DSPs content would be marginally less shitty if there wasn’t this perpetual still shot of a fat, old, balding man scowling at the screen.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an endless form of entertainment for people like us, but that’s just my point, all it serves is another entry point for mocking him.

Even if like the content creator in question I still have no tangible desire to see their face stamped over the video game

I think facecam is important for Phil,it makes his viewers feel more connected to him than if he was just a voice,it makes them feel like they know him more and since people donate to him out of pity and attention rather than because he is entretaining they woulndt feel so much pity or would be interested in his attention if they didnt feel some conection to him. Maybe im not explainig myself properly,I dont know.
 
Man, it's a LONG time since I've seen anything Phill related... And I just have one question:

What happened to his goatee?
The patchiness of it you mean? Phil claims it's not patchy, that's white hair. His 480p quality cam makes it hard to say for sure, but always assune he's lying.

Man it must really suck to turn into the person you made fun of for years.

We started a thread documenting his advancing hair-loss issues and his denial of them https://kiwifarms.net/threads/dsps-hair-mega-hyper-ultra-thread.55171/

Phil says that what people think are patchy areas are just white patches of hair in his still thick & full goatee. Here are recent high-res shots of his goatee showing this not to be the case https://kiwifarms.net/threads/dsps-hair-mega-hyper-ultra-thread.55171/page-15#post-5417914

This x 100. I hate it. It's annoying as shit the webcam blocks the games interface or just is an annoyance - I don't want to see your face - I wanna see the game and just hear your voice - but the camera most annoying thing to happen to gaming.

At least people with green screens make it somewhat acceptable.

But that will just be too much work for Phil.


(Sidenote) What does Phil do with the rest of the day? I know some people who put in more hours then he does still have time for errands and the like?

This is just me Tin Foil hatting on this and I could be extremely wrong - Phil does research - Whether whatever lie it was so he can have his story straight - which he isn't too good at EX: GamerJLee. And probably researching how to spin some sob story, so he can spin it on his fans and get more money out of them.

By the way, quick question, for the fund raiser or whatever in the hell its called for taxes. Isn't that against Twitch TOS?

When he got in trouble before, I think it was because he included bits in the "fundraiser", which crumbles Twitch's "they're not money" fig leaf. Notice how he always says "tips fundraiser" now.

That said, I find it a little difficult to believe that his whole "I could go to jail" bit doesn't fall afoul of Twitch's feigning distress clause, but I doubt they'll do anything about it.

Oh man... He cut it real close with that one. Also, a quick question if you don't mind. How are bits not money ? Ex: 50 = 5,000 bits (that could be wrong I don't know too much about bits) - isn't that technically still money?

It's some bullshit loophole legalese Twitch uses to get around calling them money something to do with the exchange of money into a good or service but a better way to think of them is like how they skirt the gambling laws in Japan with pachinko machines where you pay to buy balls and then you trade them back to the shop for a token that's traded outside of the parlour for money.
 
Talking about Mr Sway. This video ALWAYS cracks me up :biggrin:

This video was from 2005-6. Texas Showdown is an FGC tournament that began in 2000, and this is from Texas Showdown 6. You can clearly see Phil wildly rocking side to side so bad that he runs in to the fucking camera and steps on the cameraman's toes. I never thought about it further than his explanation of having to stand on 1 leg and switch back and forth to take pressure off his back makes no fucking sense. This shit pre-dates his bulging disk issues by years at least, it's something else entirely that he later retconned into being something he does for his back when people were calling him out for being an autistic moron. Edit: This was from before he had the helicopter job.

He mentions he had a scholarship for college. That's funny, I thought he couldn't get a scholarship because he was white?
 
Another raid for 300 views. They spam POOOO and he instantly puts it into followers only mode and says they're all from that "OTHER STREAM" and shits on them.

I'm too lazy to edit this into a video but this is the other's guy's VOD, scroll to the end to see him raid.

I don't think callumfromthecorner is a detractor.
