The shit that happens to Phil doesn't happen with other YouTubers because they are actually smart enough to not tell people, even fans to go die on a fire, to tell them they are stupid or mentally ill etc.
Add Phil "i'm better than you at everything" attitude and you got a recipe for disaster.
By doing this, he's unconsciously forcing people to watch his fails and use them as proof. No wonder the whole TIHYDP craze started.
Phil is also the only YouTuber i have ever seen that always says "i had a positive reaction to my new videos" even if the comments are full of people telling him he sucks balls.
Basically, the guy lives in his own little world. Sometimes i wondered "maybe it's all an act, he can't be that stupid" but now, he actually did do the same thing with another real person.
This Patrik deal convinced me that Phil might have some serious mental issues. And i'm not talking about autism. I'm talking something like a persecution complex, attention deficit disorder, narcisism, and maybeee (kinda stretching but it might be) some kind of reality recognition impairment.
This is a guy so up his own ass that he has trouble remembering his own lies over reality. I guess this is why he always contradicts himself.
I believe it was this video.
He's clearly forcing himself to be funny for some VIEWS!!!, the problem with Phil is that he never knows when to stop.
Same thing happened with the holocaust jokes. He didn't actually stop and think "maybe this kind of joke will make me look like an horrible human being, and it might have serious repercussions on me and my reputation/job". He just went "fuck it i want money NAO!".
He basically sees Pewdiepie/every other copycat of his success and thinks "maybe i also can scream, make retarded unfitting jokes and be like a 10 year old and get money".
Except being Phil, he fails at doing that too.
