Shout out to Mighty D for clipping DSP's absurd PDP and DrD rant.
The way he goes on about how "popular people just get views because they are popular" shows two things, one Phil's fuck-off-massive ego, and two that he fundamentally doesn't understand why people get popular on youtube or even why he got popular on youtube. He says that he got thousands of views on videos of him playing hot new games just because it was "phil playing a new game" but that's wrong. People didn't watch to see you Phil, they gave you a view because it was a new game they wanted to see and you would often say yourself that you were one of the first people uploading video on launch day.
Meanwhile people like PDP (not going to speak about DrD since I know very little about him) because yeah he played the hot new games and acted like a tard but eventually he transitioned in to actually pretty funny videos that a good chunk of people can enjoy. That's why he gets views, that's why he gets tips: He made actual quality content that showcased his personality and people liked it and still like what he's doing.
He acts like the public isn't fickle as fuck and won't ditch someone the second they do the slightest thing to annoy them yet that's pretty much what happened to him at least according to him. I personally think DSP was a nobody back when he thought he was famous too, yeah he got views, but did he get interaction, was he talked about in actual public circles? And how many other shit videos got views back then? At that point no one cared about Youtube. If you want to see someone who was super popular and suddenly lost everything because he stopped making content while doing shitty streams no one cared about that might as well have just been him staring in to the camera look at Spoony, Phil.
People get paid because they produce, or because they once made something so legendary it now prints money. This is just the way of any entertainment profession. It's true of music, it's true of movies, it's true of acting, you name it in the field it's the case. Hell it's even true of some non-entertainment professions such as engineering, math, and programming.
Sorry Phil, the persona of DSP isn't legendary nor does it print money. You're a dancing monkey in a cage and people make you put on a vest and blow bubbles for them.
