I'd still say Digi has clearly has the larger audience when the number of eyeballs are concerned, with his Youtube subscriber count alone, but Dick has a small but highly dedicated audience that has big pockets to dig into to contribute to his Patreon (unlike Digi, whose Patrons have abandoned ship since the beginning of the troonout arc).

Dick's full-length video-version of his show is behind the Patreon paywall, leaving only his audio-only full version, along with clickbaiting clips from the video-version, being uploaded to his Youtube channel. He rarely gets over 10,000 views for those Youtube clips.

The only risk I can see having someone like Digibro/Conrad on the Dick Show too many times is that Dick's conservative audience will get unenthused enough to stop contributing to his Patreon, but as aforementioned, Dick's fanbase appears pretty loyal enough to stick by him. Digibro's name on a Dick Show Youtube video clip, however, might entice Digi's fanbase to tune in, as I don't think his audience share the same dislike for Dick that Dick's have for Digi.

I personally don't really see the logic here, if Dick Mastersons audience is clearly not on youtube why are excerpts from dick show episodes and audio uploads that are on youtube being used as the metric by which to judge who has the bigger audience? Dick certainly has a dedicated fanbase, but I think the narrative that his fanbase is "small, dedicated, and with deep pockets" falls apart when you look at Road Rage (https://youtu.be/CDlPBZODAHk), a live comedy tour that Dick hosts around the country that frequently collects relatively large crowds. compare this to Digibros appearances at anime conventions in his heyday (https://youtu.be/JzfJngxWoJk). He would pull an audience a bit larger than the average road rage, but factoring in that road rage pulls in people for that show alone versus Digibros panels where people had been there for the convention anyway. Digibro attempting to do a tour that sold on the merits of himself and his audience alone would never even come close to road rage. Not even the entire PCP could collectively do so, as shown by radcon fan meetups.

edit: actually, you know I think I have been mistaken in that even at an anime convention Digibro still couldnt pull road rage numbers. that road rage clip in particular takes place at the Apollo theater in chicago, and that place is huge. assuming its even half full, its twice the size of that Digibro panel

so in conclusion, I cant necessarily concretely contradict that dick mastersons fanbase is "small but dedicated" but by all metrics aside from youtube stats, which as stated cannot be trusted because why would every dick show listener go watch replays, and most of his audience goes to spotify, apple, google podcasts, or downloads the mp3 on the website anyway as youtube is a terrible platform for hosting podcasts, it can be inferred that Dick has a much larger audience than Digibro ever had.

I've always found funny how Dick has to go out of his way to be somewhat respectful to Digi. If Dick wasn't Digi's friend?/interested in his audience?, He would be Laughing his ass off about the trooning. He clearly doesn't care about pronouns and all that shit.
If Digi wasn't a huge simp for Dick he wouldn't care about defending him againts Null.

Just look at Dick's face when Digi explain him about the lolicon thing.
"Fuck, this guy is my friend"

I don't understand Dick, how can he drop a guy like Asterios for being too annoying, but he's ride or die with fucking digibro of all people, who delegitimizes not only other trans people but Dick's own reputation.

I don't believe Dick is that calculating about who he keeps as a regular guest. After all he had people like Kiwi Chris, the unknown deranged weirdo from Australia, as a regular guest on the show. His podcast is more of a circus than a clout-sharing platform, though I do think he takes pride in getting guests like John McAfee or Doug Tennapel, and he always makes room for someone with an audience. Maybe it's his Hollywood marketing instincts.

More importantly, another eerie similarity:

Road rage often isn't just Dick fans it's IBS fans (at least nowadays), and yeah they are a dedicated group of fans, people would come from across the country to see them. I was of the few people who wasn't from out of state from the one I went too. It's basically a show a party at a bar then an after party at a hotel. One other thing that holds Digi back from making a big show like Road rage is the Avg age of his fans. The Avg age of Dick show fans was 20-30 hence why they are more able to give to a patreon and fly out to a show for the weekend. Digi fans are much younger plus they aren't as extroverted, but it's clear Riley is trying to apply something of this model to Digi without Realizing this. Digi should if anything be playing to major anime cons rather than trying to be an on the road rapper.

My logic was entirely based on each man's Youtube channel and the audience it draws, which is global (any IRL appearances have been limited to the US) and not limited to an appearance at any real-life venue. Based on subscriber count and view count (Digi has had easily 1-2 million for at least a few videos), Digibro has always and still retains a more successful Youtube channel than Dick's; even Conrad's troon arc videos as of late still get more views than Dick's. Though, it could be considered to be unfair to compare their Youtube channels against each other, as Dick's Youtube channel is auxiliary to his podcast/video show, which remains behind a Pateron paywall.

With Patreon, Dick is the clear winner, easily over old foe and ex-friend Maddox (who in turn has a larger Youtube channel in terms of both view count and subscriber count) and Digi (whose Patreon has nosedived in the last 12 months).

most of [Dick's] audience goes to spotify, apple, google podcasts, or downloads the mp3 on the website

Those platforms don't really generate much money for the artist, with downloading the mp3 doing zero. Some people listen to, say, a Google podcast for ease and convince but will make a point by clicking the Youtube video of the same recording to support the artist; someone stated that in the comments section to Ben Saint/PCP's last podcast, to which Saint replied with his appreciation.

I did not and certainly would not argue that Digibro could and should try to draw a larger audience than Dick IRL. I am, along with pretty much everyone on this thread, critical of the Ygg Studio's attempt to forge rap careers (and now apparently ones in production) by driving thousands of miles across the US to gigs in bumfuck nowhere.

Where Digibro's Youtube channel is appealing, however, is it's large subscriber base, most of whom still haven't unsubscribed despite Conrad's recent antics. An aspiring producer like Riley would want to use that subscriber base to entice third-parties to upload their works, such as "House Nigga (Godemis Diss) - Twistello (with context)", on that channel.

Tl;dr: more people online have clicked a Digibro Youtube video than a Dick Masterson one, thus generating revenue for that Youtuber, wherever or not one rates that as success in itself.

This; the two fanbases don't have much of a middle within their Venn diagram.

 

[Ted_Cuckzynski]

I thought they all quit drugs to prove everyone who's called them addicts wrong? Riley admits to being high in this tweet. "Hippie-flipping" is taking MDMA (ecstasy, molly) and psychedelic mushrooms at the same time (source: I'm an ex-druggie). I have zero doubt that Digi was also high, considering there must have been various drugs available to him and I would wager he doesn't have an ounce of self-control

 

[Flying Whale]

the two fanbases don't have much of a middle within their Venn diagram.

The Venn diagram is mostly this:
A PCP/Digibro fan watched the Hottest goss in the universe lecture. Then got interested enough to search the Dick show. What's this? Digibro is in a couple of his videos? and now the Algorythm is suggesting you Dick show clips.

Honestly don't know if Dick got a significant boost from the lecture but he clearly appreciated it.

but my issue with this logic is that his youtube channel, as you mentioned, could not even be close to representative of his actual numbers due to how thin the podcast spreads itself. On top of the youtube channel, Dick has a download link for the episodes on his website, and hosts it on spotify, apple podcasts, google podcasts, android podcast apps, and god knows where else. now, the important part is to think about how people listen to podcasts. you cannot lock the youtube app and have audio continue to play through your phone (without paying for one of youtubes failed subscriptions of course), I imagine very few of his casual and regular viewers would opt to listen to his show via youtube when most of them have at least one of these other options available. my point in bringing up their live shows is that if we're just going off of US fans (which is both of their home turfs) Dick has Digi beat, and biggest problem in the universe charted in 3 non-US countries in 2014 on Itunes, which is a show in which every fan of it almost surely migrated to dick show and the dick show has since only gotten bigger over time. I definitely agree that technically more people have probably seen one of digibros viral videos once than have listened to the dick show, but the discussion was started on the idea that Dick is using Digis supposed larger fanbase to his advantage. As far as i can tell however, not only does Dax have a presumably larger actual fanbase despite more people seeing Digis videos in passing, it also doesnt make much sense to be doing that because Dax almost certainly can tell that Digi is bleeding viewer retention and subs. He owns a marketing firm doesnt he? he should at least know that much.

Exhibits C & D. Cope. Or taken charitably, trying to have fun with an undesired outcome.


I don't really think this needed proving, as it was obvious, but here's at least evidence there's no RV (...yet).

 

[Fuck It We'll Do It Live]

the important part is to think about how people listen to podcasts. you cannot lock the youtube app and have audio continue to play through your phone (without paying for one of youtubes failed subscriptions of course),

Tech-savvy Android users can have Youtube audio play in the background either through the Brave browser app (not sure if iOS's Brave app also supports it) or NewPipe, both of which I have used and now exclusively use the latter.

You otherwise make great points about how difficult it is to determine the real numbers behind The Dick Show's viewership, though I'd still say he makes the bulk of his money from Pateron, rather than any downloads or clicks of any podcast platforms while Digi was not only making a good amount (but not as much as Dick's) from Pateron but was also collecting a lot of revenue generated from all the views he got from his huge library of videos on his Youtube channel. I think his deletion of nearly all his main channel's videos cost him an easy $1,000 per month cheque from Youtube.

The Venn diagram is mostly this:
A PCP/Digibro fan watched the Hottest goss in the universe lecture. Then got interested enough to search the Dick show. What's this? Digibro is in a couple of his videos? and now the Algorythm is suggesting you Dick show clips.

This describes me, but in reverse; I was a Maddox fan (and still would be if the bald idiot returned to his video formats of old), who was engaged in The Goss fallout, c. 2016-2018, and I rediscovered Digibro via that lecture; I knew him as an anime lecturer but didn't really dive too deeply into his work. I then became a fan of Digi's work, c. 2018-2020, particularly through his After Dark channel.

A bit of a worthless post after kinda just skimming over the last couple pages so I apologise but you can't drive in VA with a cracked windshield that goes past a certain amount. It can result in a lot of petty toll booth fines and gives a possible reason to search if pot is smelled. Not sure how trackable it is as far as traffic fines go. Could be nothing, could just be an unecessary expense to endure or it could be, I dunno, your responsibility to call a 24hr service to get it fixed before driving a whole lot. Beats me.
I will say though, I used to listen to Dick a lot on my job and I had no clue who Digi was until his infamous "I wannabe a defenseless little girl to rape" episode. It's funny how Null can pull so many livestream viewers and Digi can't compare, considering who Dick hedged his bets on as far as friends. And we all know by now Dick can say he has friends out one side of his mouth while leveraging what his friends can do for him with the other.
Also Digi is one ugly motherfucker.

[the_watcher]

Still wondering if they are on their way to vic's house, digi's parents or dick masterson or they truly are just four people, living out of a mid-sized car. Living on the road as a lifestyle is taxing for a single person, but as a group in such a confined space, the tensions must be rising exponentially. Their finances must be depleting fast, otherwise they wouldn't subject themselves to such fucked up circumstances.

I mean if their posts are an indication, they are moving east again? Keep in mind this could all be older content, they produced before their stint in Elko/Nevada.

 

[raisinlove]

Can someone generalize what the dick show even is about? I don’t want to engage with it purely because of the fat sweaty faggots that are around it but is it a PUA/MRA show? He wrote that incel manifesto book I know but I don’t understand how he attracts fans based on that and the Maddox fallout.

very short tldr: dick and co-host/guests pick different news and events and deliver contrarian/libertarian rants about that + have callers that they often either ridicule or pump up to hype the drama.

Think as if keemstar and howard stern had a lovechild.

 

[BigFatStupidIdiot]

I don't believe Dick is that calculating about who he keeps as a regular guest. After all he had people like Kiwi Chris, the unknown deranged weirdo from Australia, as a regular guest on the show. His podcast is more of a circus than a clout-sharing platform

Yes he is. Dax is a true sociopath, if not a full blown psychopath. His show, even going back to Biggest Problem, was about manipulating people dumber than him, into making fools of themselves for his own financial gain. Dax never puts in hard work when he can manipulate someone else into doing it for him. This behavior can be traced back to when "he wrote" "his" book, in his own words, admitting Men are Better than Women was mostly written by his drunk friends daring him to write down the edgy shit they said, that some editor had to clean up.

I don't understand Dick, how can he drop a guy like Asterios for being too annoying, but he's ride or die with fucking digibro of all people, who delegitimizes not only other trans people but Dick's own reputation.

Going back to the sociopath, if not full blown psychopath, this is easy to explain. Dax offered Asterios the money to sue Maddox if Dax could use Asterios' situation for content which included the right to blast Asterios' legal strategy on the podcast. Asterios balked and Dax got angry because that meant the Lolsuit arc was essentially done and over with and he'd have to find new content. Dax framed it as Asterios wanted free money and Dax was the responsible dad in the room.

Around this time, Dax makes a video where he's driving in his car and someone asks him about Asterios and Dax says "I don't have friends. I want to do comedy and he doesn't so fuck him." He then waited for an opportunity to publicly denounce him which came in the form of a redditor saying Asterios mentioned that Dax was in a poly relationship with JLH and his current gf. Dax proceeded to publicly post his text messages of him looking like a total catty bitch breaking up with a boyfriend who doesn't know what he did wrong, and then smeared him with claims of Asterios using Dax's "fame" to get fans to think he was cool.

Everyone is a toy to Dax. When you don't do what Dax wants you to do, he tries to smash you. Everyone in his life is his plaything and they're all arranged how he wants them or they wouldn't be in his life. The reason Digi is ride or die for Dax is because he's useful in some way or another to him. We can speculate that Dax sees Digi as content or sees his fans as dollar signs or that Digi just has a big enough of a penis that Dax enjoys toking from. Everyone in Dax's life is there for a reason and it's not because he loves them or is friends with them, he doesn't have friends, he has toys.

There's a reason TDS has a literal dirty laundry list of used up friendships that's a mile long.

 

[George Cuckzunian]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I had always been under the assumption that Dick had a larger audience than Digibro.
Mainly because TDS has a modestly sized patreon

You need to read up on the Dax Herrera thread. Dax's engagement numbers are absolute dog shit, most of his online communities are dead, and while no one has found a smoking gun there is a lot of things that point to Dax inflating his own numbers to make himself look more successful because he is insecure and the only thing he can point to is his patreon as proof that his show is really super popular still.

Of course this all got dismissed at first because Maddox is a retard and went straight to "Muh Russian Bots" while indulging in woke culture, but it turns out there may of been kernels of truth there. A good example of this is JLH confirmed that Dax did indeed pay for fake negative reviews for Maddox's book, and showed her cause he thought it was funny and he was super proud of helping tank his booksales. Dax is also dog shit at creating content for patreon and gives little incentive for someone to give $5 or $20 for the live show (which pulls in around 200 views on youtube). Add to that his podcast has fallen off the top of the comedy charts, listenership has declined (free shows get around 3k-5k audience), he has openly admitted that there is no growth and his model is keep current fans paying, he has more patrons than viewers (or has over 90% of them paying him which is unlikely), the weird cycle of people subbing than unsubbing to his patreon, inverse relationships between the dollar amount and number of patrons, massive falling outs with large sections of his audience, and Dax's secret bitcoin stash which he in theory could use to fund this vanity project even if it means more taxes are paid on it.

Bird and Riley also have run shady gofundme scams to ebeg the TDS community, the main two being Riley begging people to not go homeless when earlier that week he tweeted his negative bank account balance because he was buy Dax and co lapdances all night and the guy who pretended to be a widow but his dead wife has an active OnlyFans.

Digi calls it a car in the video, though. If someone brings it up as proof he can just say that they're travelling in both the RV and Bird's car. But judging by his tone he was probably too high to remember to keep up the charade.
