Imagine being nearly 40, childless, and spending the 1st October decorating your room with plastic skeletons.
It'd be one thing if he just actually enjoyed it. People liking childish shit is fine, but he's so fucking joyless and is so obviously doing it only as a prop to his embarrassing content that it's just hollow. It's another cheap gag to dazzle the children into coughing up their pocket money.

Is there a historical example of a person who just constantly ripped off P.T. Barnum? Because that's Phil.
 
Phil's mom was a beautician until she retired 40 years ago. Her current job is buying stuff off QVC and petting cats.

Ah then I am thinking of Moviebob's mom. I'm pretty sure. Both are fat idiots with terrible beards, so I mix them up a lot. I'd say my bad, but I think God was just being lazy when making douchebags. Hey they're even like the same age IIRC. God must have been looking at his plans, and was like didn't I do this guy already? Ah fuck it I guess.

She's also the closest thing Phil has to a financial advisor and career counselor.

He's well and truly fucked.

I like how she's the closest thing and he has a business degree. That's like me claiming my dog is my best source of finding tennis balls. Except in this case, it's true.
 
I would 100% guarantee that at least some (probably a lot) of the regulars who post here mocking him give him money quite often (and not chargebacks either), or at the very least will do so if there is even a sniff that the content might dry up for any reason.

I think the majority of what you said is wrong, or at the very least, heavily embellished, but this particular bit stood out as making the least amount of sense. A common complaint about the vest streak era was how boring Phil was because he was safely making his tip goals every stream. I think the general consensus is Phil is at his most boring when he's safely making money. We might get some rage every now and then depending on the game he's playing, but that's about it. If people were worried about content drying up, why would they give Phil money? It makes even less sense when you consider we have multiple threads talking about how much money Phil makes. On top of that, there are numerous posts talking about how, for years, nobody has believed his "I'll lose my house" shtick, and then to go one step further, there's a great deal of users who acknowledge Phil will be streaming until the day he dies. If there are any people who are worried about content drying up or that Phil will suddenly disappear from streaming if he only makes 5 figures a year instead of 6, I'd argue that group is very much in the minority.

The same logic applies to the tinfoil hat theory that restreamers or whoever are also supporting Phil. Throwing money at Phil doesn't make content, and if anything, takes away content because safe Phil is pretty boring. Hell, even Phil's own fans realized that during the vest streak, which is why there were so many people waiting until the very end of the stream to swoop in and save him.

I will acknowledge there are some dumb people who troll tip Phil and don't charge back. And some of them do post here, but they're usually mocked for it if they do come out and acknowledge it. I believe someone also crunched the numbers once and the troll tips (at least the ones that had obvious troll messages attached) made up something like 10% of the daily tips. Now that's certainly 10% too much, but it's not like Phil would suddenly lose all financial support if that group stopped.
 

Great YouTube begging segment last night, those free loaders on YouTube better step up and tip him after he’s toughed through this JRPG for 6 months ):

it’s almost like putting a long game on his late night stream once or twice a week is a bad idea, and will take him forever to get through....what an unpredictable outcome...
 
Has Phil jumped on the 'Among Us' train yet? Or would that be too close to having other humans to interact with outside his bubble that he won't touch it?

If he played Among Us he'd probably keep getting hit by streamsnipers who would kill him or vote him out as soon as they could. It would be hilarious for us though.

if he wants to get technical about viewership and "support/contributions", he has made thousands playing fire emblem, he was paid to play it, paid while playing it, and paid on youtube via ad revenue

is he mad because he isn't being paid more than thousands? lol

It's still a new fad, so Phil will probably spend months denouncing it, then bring it up as a chill stream option sometime in the next 3 or 4 years.

But in all seriousness, it is way too social of a game for Phil to ever consider streaming it. The paypigs can barely convince him to even do multiplayer in fighting games these days, which is generally the biggest appeal of streaming those games in the first place.

Fuck you, DSP.
 
Lels, Divinity Original Sin 2 is so far away from being a JRPG it would border on stupidest thing a human could say if not that it came from DSP.

Edit to avoid doubleposting: A bit of a nothingburger but Streamlabs has the option of allowing for you to pay the processing fee for your donation, something worth noting just for the folks keeping tabs on his finances or maybe that's already been brought up.

Also why is divinity original sin banned until 2021? It’s a joke people still support him when his reward for hitting a sub goal happens 6 months later

Fuck you, DSP.
He's gonna fucking hate Divinity 2 if he plays it. That, or read a complete breakdown on how to perfectly build his characters.

It really is fucked up that DSP has so many longtime committed fans yet he refuses to do anything with them. Small streams should be building ties with their community. If he had ANY fucking friends or trusted people at all, he could roll through Divinity 2 with a friend/s.
