You guys realize what he's doing right? Some guy isn't randomly popping in and tipping him, he's either
1) totally making the tips up from Silent Bob, One Minute Man, nocouture etc, OR
2) getting tips from someone like Jeff still, and saving them for when support is low and acting as if they came in right away.
He's seed tipping himself. He tips himself closer to the 100 dollar goal so people will be more likely to tip the remainder. It's a super common streamer tactic.
He admitted to not getting a tip from one minute man last week when he said "no tips have come in for 50 minutes!" and snowkarl or someone asked 'but one minute man tipped 10 mins ago?' and he said "oh... it's not in my feed so....."
I speculated that Phil might resort to this, but it's been apparent since he's doing the whale call during his water breaks to (as you said) seed tips. Also, that leads to the question of if Phil is withholding these "behind the scenes" tips in hopes that people will tip more so he gets more bang for his WWE buck, and then announcing them later.
