Just for funsies because it will be tax day, I estimate PPB owing $14.3k for 2020 federal taxes... time for another payment plan? The fool is seriously going to be paying interest forever.

Ok I've stopped watching Phil years ago fully expecting him to burn out completely and leave gaming behind and I just have to ask. How in the hell is he still going? Why do people still follow him? Seems like a miserable human being yet he somehow has fans. Is it like a car wreck where you just can't turn away?

Pathetic people that got bullied growing up living vicariously through a z-grade e-celeb who gets bullied online.

Average Joe Underdog Gamer™ vs "my no-load haterz" and they've bought hook, line and sinker into his grift cult.

Presumably it isn't the detractors (those who have come to watch the car wreck) who he is trying to milk $400 a day from...

I believe its simply that he was able to cultivate a dedicated core audience of legitimately severely mentally impaired individuals, who he then is able to trick into thinking they have some sort of relationship by using the Ben Franklin effect (or some butchered version of it) and his constantly e-begging and whining about how he'll lose his home, and how tough things are, and how if they don't give him money he won't be able to stream anymore and they can't continue being e-friends etc.

Well to answer your first question, he's still going because he begs a lot. You'd have a hard time trying to find any stream within the past 2-3ish years where he hasn't constantly begged people to donate if they enjoy his content. Which by all means is fine, but it's the way he goes about begging, insulting his viewers, lying, just being an overall piece of shit. His "fans" unfortunately are people who, let's say... aren't "all there" mentally, if you get what I'm eluding to. A lot of them have some kind of disability, whether that be mental or physical, and the others are more than likely people who are lonely (i.e no friends, probably felt excluded in high-school when they began watching Phils videos), and have stuck around ever since. The other % of his viewers are basically people there to watch the sinking ship that is Darksydephil.

Reposting because spam filter:
I found some passwords Phil used from a database breach collection for darksydephil@hotmail.com,

kanakonn22
darksydeph
ricardo1
wweraw47

None of them works on his email, sadly. I also don't actually know what websites these passwords are for. Does Phil have any email addresses besides darksydephil@hotmail.com?

Seen them before. They're from that 40GB compilation torrent? I wouldn't be putting to much faith in anything from that. The torrent is new(ish) but the data is a compilation of ancient stuff. Seemed like mega trolling from a cyber security firm looking to sell crappy malware product.

If you want access to his mail you have to go with Kali and come up with a good justification to Microsoft as to why you're hammering their auth server. I'm sure they'll believe it.

...or set up a legit looking mail server with a convincing Hotmail redirect page and send him a phishing link. Title the mail "You've been Selected for a 0.9% APR Credit Card". He'll click it and enter every detail you ask for.

......or watch him destroy himself while starting a niche real-life YouTube channel. Cooking with SuperBlindMan? I recommend this option. No sense risking yourself just to prove he's a pathological liar, which we already know.

This is why the Pig starts speaking French whenever the grift is on. "We we we we" I (Philbert) didn't lose the partnership "we" did. "We" gotta figure this out guys, "We" gotta hit the tips goal. All to pull the strings of the who think they actually have a relationship or some sort of friendship.

Well that, and his continued laziness. He uses "we" whenever it comes to "thinking" in order to defer responsibility from himself. That way, if it doesn't work, he'll have someone to blame. See: ideas for improving the stream, fan choice games, etc.

Probably the most accurate reasoning here. All these sad lonely degenerates that get government checks and or parents money just keep feeding him.

 

[YokuNama]

Probably late but.....

Wow this guy is a scam artist....

He knows his foreclosure information is public, and didn't he already tell everybody his situation with the other condo? Why lie about that? Instead of telling everybody the bullshit about you need mortgage and tax fee's he could of just fessed up to needing attorney fees and probably would of gotten more since he would of been actually HONEST and had paperwork to prove it.

Boy this little man lies about the dumbest of shit.

And what should be more infuriating to the people who are dumb enough to give this asshole money... he made enough to cover this fee and pay his bills. He made 5 figures since he lost his partnership. Easily. So he just wanted his paypigs to cover this fee so he can pocket the extra money he already made out of them.

Wow.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

I don't know why I'm ever surprised that it's always a nothing-burger with PPB, if I had better things to do I would step away until the finale, but c'est la vie?

I'm honestly kinda glad I had better things to do and ragequit watching after half an hour of gameplay was already over and he still didn't finish making himself in the game. It was a big nothingburger just like the begathons of years past. I will admit tho, the fact that the stream broke 3 digits in the number of bans was pretty funny.

I really think the 3k number was coincidence, Phil pays no attention to his foreclosure proceedings beyond "when can I stop paying the condo fees?" Even if they do make a judgement against him there's still a whole lot of red tape to even tell him he owes the money, and good luck squeezing it from the pig. Most states it's easy to avoid paying something like this, especially when you don't receive a paycheck.

No way is he going to fundraise for an amount that he doesn't even officially owe.

 

[architect]

The debt on the condo was discharged. He won't have to pay any attorney fees related to the foreclosure. It's just a coincidence.

 

[Pandalee’s Tits]

Guys the attorney fee doesn’t work like a water bill. It’s lumped into the foreclosure. He doesn’t pay that shit separately.

Is this confirmed?

 

[Comma]

I made a compilation of DSP's hardcore begging during the Mass Effect "marathon". Watch it if you like pain.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

Don't know shit about what he owes and doesn't, but I know that Phil would be a lot more panicked right now if he had a legit need for a bunch of money he doesn't have on hand and just failed miserably to beg his way into getting it. Yesterday was about simply money for money's sake, I'm sure. I don't think Phil was even so much as putting his paypigs to the test, because that's too clever for him. He was also way too happy before things went to shit, and it's obvious as to why.

EDIT: In regards to Phil and is in-game avatar, it's pretty obvious that there is quite a disconnect between what lies before Phil's eyeballs and what his brain actually sees, from a psychological standpoint. After so many years of lying about damn near everything, for the same reason every single time he does it, Phil's mind is thoroughly programmed now to instinctively spare him the truth. In this case, it actively prevents him from recognizing that his Shepherd looks more like a Gary Oldman character than it does Phil.

Bit more speculative on my part, but it's very plausible that instances like this in particular are exacerbated by what is theorized to be a strong need to deny his own age, which the state of his thinning and receding hair draws attention to. Phil doesn't see the difference in the hair because he doesn't want to see any, because he doesn't like reminders that he isn't so young, and not for normal reasons either. It has been visible for many years that he is developmentally way behind, it's why he talks about having grown up so much during his internet career even though he was pushing 30 when it began. He doesn't know, or want to know, that where he's at in any given year in his past, is not where a typical person of average intelligence is supposed to be. It would hurt his feelings too much.

I'm not entirely sure either because I've paid all my bills and taxes on time for years now. What I do know is he made 5 figures in tips in the last 3 weeks and even if he didn't hit the goal he should still be good to pay his bills and the attorney fees on that alone.

So I am with you on him wanting to make money for money's sake whether he owes these fee's or not.

I should also add, I don't really care what this idiot makes because it will be inevitably blown on something stupid that he can't tell anyone about.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

And it really cannot be over-stated how relevant it is that Phil refuses to be transparent enough about where his money goes despite often begging for it for, supposedly, bills. Lots of streamers get specific about tips goals, such as "new gaming rig". Shit even LowTierGod is more honest, he once did a "get me to EVO" tip goal, before his mouth got him banished from it forever. And it's probably exactly what the money would've went towards, given that he did used to attend tournaments.

Phil is deliberately vague and never wants to talk about the money once he gets it. His tips goal never has a specific purpose written right on the overlay underneath the figure he's supposedly at. Even when he's somewhat specific, like supposedly needing to pay his mortgage or some shit, he's never convincing, it's always obvious that his condo was never actually at risk. Phil doesn't want that shit known about when it's real, as is evidenced by him denying his bankruptcy filing until he couldn't do that anymore.

It's very obvious why Phil is like this: his money not only doesn't get spent on what he claims, but is wasted on things he can never, ever afford to admit to because he insists so much on an image that he doesn't live up to.

 

[strandedcastaway]

That doesn't jive well with his narrative that he needs the money which leaves me wondering if somehow he's actually trying to scam people with pitying him to rake in a little extra cash but he usually saves his debasement for when he's desperate, the only thing I can think is that he dumped too much money into Scopely but that's not satisfying because he didn't get his money and he's not in panic mode about it. Maybe he's going to ask Kat for a loan to cover the mortgage? I don't know I'm lost and none of what has happened or is happening is satisfying and I feel like I'm missing a part of the story here.

Phil lies about everything, so trying to figure it out will just hurt your brain.

Here's the facts: between April 21st and May 14th, Phil was tipped more than $11000. He probably was also paid by Twitch, but let's forget that for a second. Mortgage payment, $1800. Let's say the rest of his expenses are $4000 or $5000. So where's the other $5000, or $7000, or whatever...for THIS month.

The only thing that continues to make sense is Phil gambling the rest away. In fact, if somehow the thousand bits of evidence were all wrong and he's NOT gambling it away, then he's the worst fucking money manager ever because he's begging a bunch of speds for his livelihood AND living like a shut-in WHILE MAKING $12000 to $14000 A MONTH.

 

[Serf 'n' TERF]

I'm hedging my bets that today on pre-stream Phil will announce that there was massive and unprecedented pahsitivity behind the scenes while he was in his gin-induced coma. And by massive, I'm talking $1700 - the exact amount he needed to hit $3000.

But in actuality, it's just the final Twitch payment (exact amount is irrelevent) that he received yesterday but didn't want to tell anyone incase it impacted on the whales generosity.
