DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[NotValKilmer]

The next few days are going to be nothing but self pity parties for Phil on stream and Twitter. And he'll probably double down on shit talking Twitch staff which will hopefully end in him being outright perma banned from the platform. And once the paypigs' sympathy dries up and he gets back to two digit tip numbers then he will realize exactly how fucked he is.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

What's everyone's ETA on the divorce saga now that the beggacy is going to take another hit? Can't help but hear "This however, would not last" from Fred Knudsen.

Kat won’t leave unless there’s concrete evidence that Phil is making less money. I honestly think she doesn’t even care about Phil telling everyone that she was crying.

 

[TheGreatWhiteNorth]

It's still one of the least offensive things he does.

What really makes this situation is the fact that unlike a lot of other full-time streamers, Phil has something competing for his money that he refuses to get rid of even though it's killing him. So now if he rakes it in like never before when it comes to tips, and I mean an exponential increase, like someone with Scrooge McDuck money found his stream and loves his khantent, he's only going to, at best, go back to the way things were. And even with his pigroach luck, that's still unlikely to happen, especially if this loss of partnership is because someone at Twitch is finally fucking paying attention to what kind of toxic scumbag they've been enabling for years now, since that means they're probably waiting for an opportunity to outright ban the motherfucker forever.

I predict that unless he gets lucky to a degree that we've yet to see thus far, Phil is fucked.

The real question is just how long his paypigs will tolerate his insufferable begging before they reach their limit. Of course, you’ll still have spineless cucks like OIC (you’re still not getting that modship, pal) who will be shelling out until the bitter end.

Knowing Phil, he’ll keep pushing well past their limit, cause a revolt, and then blame them.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

The begging is bound to get far worse than ever if this removal is permanent, and you'd think there'd be a point where even twitch would have enough of him just being a stain on the site. Maybe not though.

Thing is, prior to this, Phil's begging always had an underlying feeling of security. He would talk about bills and whatnot, but he was typically exaggerating. Now he really does have rough times ahead for him, now he really is needing those tips more than ever, and his fans are going to see for the first time what it's really like when things in Phil Land are legit not well.

They're not going to like what they see.

What do you mean by "ill-informed person at Twitch" Phil? Is there something you know that you aren't telling us? Like maybe the reason you were banned?

Phil can't help insulting people who go against what he wants no matter how much they're in the right and he's in the wrong. I find it one of the most obnoxious habits he has, and it always makes me picture him as an adolescent pimple-faced little twerp who is so used to losing because he's always being a shithead and deserves to.

 

[Dread Pirate Retard]

Phil really should be considering YT more seriously. Outside of the whales who swoop in with big tips a lot of his contributions come in from people who are looking for attention/clout within the 'Phil community.' Tips, as they are right now, are completely worthless for this purpose because there's no message displayed on screen and Phil has complete discretion over what gets read aloud and what gets ignored. A non-trivial amount of money Phil gets is from bait cheers/sneak disses, gift subs to troll names, and subscriptions to spam his shitty emotes ironically. Superchats and stickers replicate cheering to some extent and people will absolutely send superberries so they can have they can have some juicy bait get highlighted in chat and remain in the top chat section. Memberships can't be gifted AFAIK but they do unlock custom emotes which his 'ironic' fans would happily pay for as they love to spam them in chat (they are small as FUCK though). However, I don't think Phil is self-aware enough about why people give him money (he always seems bewildered by the amount of 'support' he gets') to understand this, and thinks that people will be willing to tip instead since they were subbing/cheering out of their undying love for him and his content.

For some reason Phil thinks the YT chat works exactly the same as it did 5 years ago (and it was admittedly pretty shitty) and this is a reason not to migrate. I'm not sure if this is him making up an excuse because he has some other reason he doesn't want to admit (e.g. laziness) or he really is that stupid (The Burnell Paradox).

Another option would be to stream to both sites since he no longer has a partnership that requires exclusivity. The only downside is it would possibly split his community which kills a lot of the appeal for his 'ironic' watchers that are there to spam Phil memes with their fellow tards. But Phil being the technologically illiterate retard that he is thinks this is not possible because it would double the bandwidth required (even if that were true don't you have a separate business line to handle that?). Again, is Phil lying to cover his laziness or just retarded?

 

[BarbatosRex]

The answer is always both, they just vary in priority at times.

If Khet was crying, it was either from:

A. Laughter, because this fat morahn finally got busted doing some dumb shit and she probably has at least a couple more braincells to rub together and has told him "You're gonna get caught." I only say that she has marginally more brain power since she has successfully conned the con-man, even though she's absolutely potato-tier as a human.
or
B. The realization that he's going to push her to get another jahb (cause he just can't) or pick up more hours if possible, and that's going to cut into that sweet sweet Skyrim n chill time.

 

[Malcolm Tucker]

why exactly is phil staying on twitch after being limited to only tips? does he secretly hopes this will get fixed magically and he returns as a partner?

Complete speculation, but I think he stays to give him security against Tevin. He knows if he goes to Youtube then he has no protection for "harassment" of another streamer on Twitch.

Given the fact that his failure to get a new vest streak going has become a streak unto itself at this point, I think it's safe to say that his fans have already displayed that they're not planning on making up for the loss of money from Twitch. They probably couldn't if they wanted to anyway, he isn't about to adjust his lifestyle so he can get by on the max amount of plausible tips, he's going to keep needing the income he is accustomed to, and any of the fans who were ignorant of that amount are in for a rude awakening now. Who knows what they'll do.

And this is to say nothing of the way that SH probably scared a lot of the paypigs away from tipping, as well as whatever impact Phil's doxxing has had. His life is about to get really bad if some kid with oil field money doesn't find him quick.

Doubt that. Tevin won. There's no reason to throw away what he's accomplished to get into a petty internet slapfight with an undignified twitch pleb like DSP. DSP isn't even an affiliate, dood!

Funny how the tables have turned, huh Dave? Twitch loved you so much they kicked your dusty ass to the curb for the illegal restreamer criminal.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Wow and he actually changed his profile picture to his son instead of his cringy kentucky man dress up.

Is it to make him appear more defenceless and innocent towards his "long time fans and supporters" and rally some hatred towards people who have wronged him (i.e Twitch staff).

Something along those lines.

That was the first thing I noticed too. I think it has more to do with his banning (racist image and stream) than he would like to admit.

I think he REALLY REALLY hopes he could make it work with just tips...he gets them right away and that’s always been his preference. I think at some point in the next weekish he’ll transition to YouTube....when it becomes apparent that people aren’t gonna tip him $400-$500 a day.

All we need is DSP to start restreaming Tevin and we've gone full circle.

 

[KKKrèmebrûlée]

I just can't see him staying on twitch. If he is actually expecting his subs and bits paypigs to transition to tipping he is in for a shock. Almost 3/4 of his subs were either gifted or prime, the people who cheered were pretty consistent as well, and usually didn't tip (unless they were a known whale like OIC). Those people don't want to get doxed by him, they have said it numerous times in his chat and he still doesn't get it. The whales were already being squeezed, can't imagine how it'll be in a week with him doubling the tips goal.

He never asked for more money though, or am I missing something? He clearly says he needs to make up the money lost in subs/cheers via tipping

 

[Poo Twister]

I hope Phil can charge back his WWE Champions money.

 

[PinkRibbonScars]

The "one vest on each shoulder" look really adds to the dismal aura.

He looks like an autistic Jay Reffner

 

[TheGoutburglar]

That was the first thing I noticed too. I think it has more to do with his banning (racist image and stream) than he would like to admit.

He's definitely withholding the reason he lost his partnership, and this is just more evidence of that. He doesn't worry about the impact of his choices until AFTER they have cost him, and he also doesn't do anything unless someone has told him exactly what to do. Or in this case given him just enough direction to know that it's because his streams are offensive.

Also, there is the "ill-informed" comment, which sounds like something he might have said about Nancy being told that he has a mobile game he spends thousands of dollars on. There's nothing Phil hates more than getting busted for something he actually was doing, and his reaction is always to claim that everybody but him is wrong.

I notice he failed to @twitch to make his case about one of their rogue employees.
