Many of his a-logs were former fans that he alienated, which is to say, they are people dumb enough to watch his content and unironically enjoy it. And then he personally insulted them, and they realized that he was ripping them off the whole time. So they're speds who have a deep personal grudge because their former hero cheated them and insulted them on top of it. If his business model wasn't scamming literal children and tards out of their money, this wouldn't have happened. Their stupidity is the direct product of Phil's stupidity. It's practically unique in the world of lolcows because most cows aren't dumb enough to deliberately go out of their way to piss off the idiots who give them money. But Phil does it all the time, for years. It's like he's hoarding detractors.
