His actual fans don't care. He could light $100 bills on fire on stream, and they would think he's hilarious and badass for doing it. As for the vest streak ending, I don't think it will until he kills it himself by refusing to do it.

Oh, I know his true fans don't care what he does with the money they give. After all, they are s. I'm just amazed that this vest thing has achieved such levels of absurdity.

I think it's a combination of 1) an actual reward after not doing it for so long and 2) his fans get a kick out of making him doing stuff--anything.

I like how Phil is turning his stream into a f2p game. It's free to watch but you can buy cosmetics if you tip enough. He's already talking about getting multiple vests so in a few months his wheelchairs will probably end up "rolling" for the vest they want.

You know it's gonna be a bunch of those fleece vests that are like $15 on Amazon.

Hilarious how this vest literally makes him shoot himself in the foot because it's nothing more but proof that Phil has the means to pay off his debts and doesn't fucking need to declare bankruptcy while making six figures a year

We often assume that most of his fan base is made of up teens that look up to him for whatever reason... but time and time again we see that a lot of his pigs are around his age. I guess it makes sense that they would have the most spare cash to throw at him but you would think they would have more sense.

Phil's actual gameplay is so monotonous and bad that the only fans he could possibly have are ones that have some kind of emotional link to DSP himself, rather than what he does as a Streamer.
Whether it's contrarianism, such as choosing to back DSP over the popular streamers, people who see themselves in and empathize with Phil (bitter, grown manchildren who blame everything else for their problems), or simply want to help a poor old man defend himself against all the naysayers in his life.
There will never be a practical reason for someone to like Phil. It will always be some kind of ulterior thing, even if the Wheelchairs lack the capacity to understand it themselves.

He'd be a genius if he did this stuff on purpose. Starve the viewers for years then toss them a chicken bone. Except he wasn't playing a long con he was just a lazy bastard who thought he already deserved the money. Then one day his mom sends him a skull from qvc or he puts on a vest for no reason and accidently trips and falls into success. Then he beats it into the ground until nobody could possibly care and he continues on until he stumbles over something else. One of the many cycles of Phil.

I have never felt hatred or wished ill will on any of my fellow humans. I've been through some shit; divorces, 10 years in state penitentiary (wrangler not convict) and I've made a lot of enemies but I have never -hated- any of them or wished harm on them. In fact, I'm quick to forgive and protect them if it was necessary to do so.

Despite this, I have an intense and primal hatred for Phil which I can't explain. It is the same feeling one might experience when observing a large cockroach skittering across the floor toward your feet, coupled with the equally disturbing feeling that would come from witnessing some sort of horrible injustice taking place. I felt it from the moment I saw his face and heard him speaking and it only got worse after I saw the MGS2 video. I had to take a break from watching TIHYDP because his voice was beginning to make me legitimately angry, a thing which almost never happens. I hope he catches a brain eating amoeba. I hope his little microdick shrivels up, turns gray and falls off. I hope he catches that disease that turns your muscles into bones. In fact, the closest approximation I can make to DSP is that of a disease.

When I think about Phil, I feel an almost painful urgency to remove his literally toxic genes from the pool before it pollutes or harms my species any further. I feel like I am watching an invader, an interloper; something from elsewhere capable of causing an irreparable disruption in the non-euclidean folds of reality where things like balance, truth, justice and other concepts vital to humanity live.

That's one way of describing his head, but the username 'Phil with the non-euclidean fold' didn't have the same ring to it.

Imagine how much he hates himself and then you'll probably start feeling sorry for him.

I think he doesn't. You're implying that he's a perfectly normal human, who in the situation he is in, would feel regretful about all of the mistakes he's made. DSP hasn't made any mistakes. It's not his fault. He did nothing wrong. It's his tahxman's fault for fucking up his taxes by not knowing how taxes in WA work, it's the trolls fault for making him 'banned' from sponsorships who he himself informs they'll get trolled if they work with him.

The bottom line is, in reality, the fact of the matter is that he did nothing wrong so there's nothing to hate himself for.

Okay, maybe for being such a nice, chill, interactive guy who makes worthless human pieces of shit stalk him and illegally restream his high kwahlity kahntent.

This is probably my favorite part of him feeling the need to include the VEST STREAK in his streams. He's making it easily confirmable that he's been making over $100 on all of his last 34 streams or whatever, not even factoring in bits/subs. He's making more than enough money on a monthly basis to get by, but because this is Dave he is constantly living outside of his means and accrued so much debt that he's now realizing he can't just make disappear with a lean-in manual ban. He could have changed his ways and worked out some sort of payment plan long ago, but he can't give up his standard of living because he thinks all this money is there for his mobile game whaling lifestyle.

Yesterday on his COD Borezone stream he had several people asking what he was going to do with the $1200 stimulus check, only for Phil to actually answer them and say he doesn't qualify for it. This actually did trigger at least one "you mean you make more than $75k a year??" response that he of course ignored. Maybe people are starting to put two and two together...

 

[Gramh]

I don't know if it's ever been addressed so forgive my stupid question that probably comes down to DSP being a stupid lazy fuck, but I can't imagine his taxes being complicated considering his totally legit business isn't a separate entity so why the super expensive tax guy when all he needs is like, a cheap TurboTax program?

i'm surprised dsp didn't try to say he makes -$35 a year

I get where you're coming from. DSP constantly talks down on people very smugly despite the fact that his life is a joke and he has no business talking down on just about anyone. He refuses to improve his stream in any fashion despite having no problems dropping the big bucks on anything related to his free time. Further, he has no problems with making lofty promises to his audience and then either severely underdelivering or just outright not delivering at all, effectively scamming his audience. DSP is a very irritating person and seemingly irredeemable.

However, you really need to take a step back and reconsider whether your emotional response to this is appropriate. For what it's worth, he hasn't killed anyone. Now that might be because his noodle arms are utterly incapable of hurting anybody, but hey credit where credit is due right?
Think about it this way: in a different timeline, DSP would be a masterful con man scamming even the rich elite out of their money, not just paypigs. What we have instead is a person who's going to get mercilessly drilled by "often times I don't but for this one I want to see the last 6 months" Nancy. You might find solace in that.

 

[Gramh]

Yeah, it's easy to feel mad about DSP when you consider he makes 100k a year and how he talks down to everything from his paypigs to the video games he depends on to entertain people because he's not going to. When you take a step back though, you realize how he has to make that kind of money and how little he has to show for all of it. He has to spend 6 days a week twice a day rattling his tin can at his audience every month without fail or his finances are ruined as per his statements, because between Patreon, Twitch, and YouTube he can't scrape together enough money to survive. His "wife" probably low key hates him for being a complete douchenozzle, he's too toxic to get a sponsor, he isn't having fun playing games all day, the list goes on. His life is the opposite of enviable especially since his finances are even more screwed than he was before with the bankruptcy and looming foreclosure. He's not even 40 yet and his life is a dumpster fire.

 

[Iron Father]

He makes me frustrated at times but doods you gotta remember he's a lolcow, so remember to lol.

Shallow analysis to be honest.

He quite frequently admits to making all these mistakes and knows full well that he only has himself to blame for his current position. The trolls, detractors etc. excuses is just a coping mechanism he uses to defend his ego, because it's all he's got left.

Another reason he doesn't regularly admit fault if pressed is because it's his persona, if he started accepting blame publically daily, I bet most of his top paypigs would drop him.

Someone who thinks it's all nice and well doesn't drink himself to death, refuse to leave his house except for 2 hours every Tuesday and is too scared to interact with even bigger losers like Wings.

He knows he is addicted to gin, gambing highs and stupid sugary drinks. But most addicts don't go around telling people they are desperate to look big to that they're fucking losers.

He makes me frustrated at times but doods you gotta remember he's a lolcow, so remember to lol.

This. If you are getting mad as shit and start coping here, you should probably take a break from watching him.

If you're jealous of this guy because of his 130k gross income or whatever, and perma-neet lifestyle, who is really the cow?
