Question to the older detractors: has there ever been an instance of Phil's paypigs putting their hooves down because Phil isn't giving them what they want? Or have they always been such pussy ass bitches that no matter how much he steps on them, they just keep feeding him their money?
There are very few instances that have been really overt. There are several cases of 'fans' turned detractors, including Tevin and AJ, but that was before the era of known paypigs.
A few general instances have led to some blowback. The wedding and the Jasper reveal both baited the paypigs into giving money only for Phil to reveal he had been lying to them. In both of those cases, contributions afterwards dipped for a while and it was pretty clear that his whales were pissed. The Jasper scam also caused Brian to laugh at Phil on his stream, and I believe one of Phil's mods also said that it was too much for them and quit.
There have been some minor cases that we know of that led to actual confrontations. DJRefund (aka DJRuno) charged Phil back and Phil publicly said that he refunded him the money. I believe it was JaneySaurus, one of Phil's mods, openly confronted Phil during the Dox Harvest, telling him that he needed to denounce BSV for antagonizing the trolls (which he had), and Phil refused, prompting Janey to leave, saying that Phil might not have been able to stop it, but he didn't even make a modest effort to help anyone in the ways that he could. There was the blowout with Swagginz where the cuck actually stood his ground, but he came crawling back. There was the blowout with Tut, but Tut had already given him thousands of dollars by then.
The Champions reveal coincided with a mod discord leak and a subsequent mod purge. We don't know what happened there, but I think they turned on him because they found out it was true and were pissed. The leaks were the only hint that at least one of them wanted some retribution, but it really wasn't much.
And years ago in CT, Phil had a full mod revolt that also resulted in them locking him out of the King of Hate Forums for a while. I think that one may have been related to the scam to raise money for a new camera, but I can't recall exactly what it was that sparked it.
He has never really experienced a consistent pushback for how he has treated them. What tends to happen is that when the paypigs go silent, new paypigs seem to see it as their chance to curry favour and will step in to fill the void until things simmer back down. Some, like Golden Colts, SuperBlindMan and Rob Warren seem to have Phil on mute and just give money regardless of any context.
I think DSP has been plumping up lately, especially around the face and tits areas. His second chin has been looking especially prominent.
He said today during the prestream when someone questioned if his poor health was related to his bad eating habits, Phil popped off and said that he is eating better now than he has in the past few years (take that Leanna). He's visibly looking rougher though.
He also said that he takes a multivitamin, a vitamin C supplement, and a vitamin D supplement. I'm not sure what multivitamin doesn't include C and D already, but I am sure that totally compensates for the fact that turkey hot dogs and macaroni salad are not nutrient rich meal options.
