Tonight’s stream was something else.
Between almost all the chat regulars literally calling for the end of the Vest Streak and DSP getting visibly upset at having to put in OT to meet the Tips Goal, and although it hasn’t for a long time, the Vest Streak means absolutely nothing and completely invalidates the pig’s claims of the streak being “organic” and happening naturally. He basically breaks his own rules on a daily basis by going OT every other day to make sure this shitty reward system is met instead of just calling it when he needs to stop streaming. We’ve now entered peak DSP shenanigans where he’s once again stuck with an object of his own creation that he absolutely despises.
I wrote about two months ago that the Vest Streak could have been this fun, lighthearted event that should have just been a fun reward to promote and enhance chat interaction. But once the pig started seeing the money it was generating he couldn’t fucking help himself and turned it into a mandatory event that must be met every night for... whatever bullshit reasons he made up on the fly (symbol of hope, anti-bullying, FU to the haters, and my personal favorite: success). As of right now, the Vest Streak means absolutely nothing and has become a tool for the paypigs to make the monkey dance. It has superseded his content and nobody fucking cares about the garbage DSP streams on a daily basis because the man is so boring, his community focuses on all the external bells and whistles for any sort of entertainment.
But here we are. With Phil being a prisoner of his own design by literally being at the mercy of 2-3 paypigs who control where and when the tips goal will be met.
He’s sweating. He’s nervous. He’s stressed. Because Phil is a one-trick pony; finding another reward in the same vein as the Vest Streak ends will be nigh impossible for Phil because the whole event is a fluke in the first place that he didn’t come up with given his lack of originality and spontaneity. Something that started as a meme based off vintage DSP is going to be hard to recreate and generate a similar level of enthusiasm. And Phil has gotten used to this level of income, he will do whatever it takes to keep it going and we’re going to see new levels of debasing and I can’t fucking wait to see how he’ll prostate himself publicly to continue his grift to wrangle those juicy ‘tard shekels.
