You know, I kind of took for granted how unbelievably low his view counts are on his videos for someone of his notoriety; even me being a nobody hobbyist YouTuber am crushing his numbers on a per video basis.

Thinking about it, the stuff that I make is made because I want it to exist, right? Like whatever I'm making a video on I either see some kind of need, or I want to give a take on it in some way. Seeing some people looking forward to the Month in Review videos has me really looking forward to making them because producing something that people enjoy just feels nice you know?

DSP's shit on the other hand... It's just completely soulless garbage. Like I can't think of a single piece of value in it. His takes are worthless because he's an uninformed fence-sitter, he's not charismatic, he yells and begs, and he sucks ass at games. Even his music and artwork is stolen. He can't even make his own fucking THUMBNAILS.

I think I finally get what he means when he calls his YT channel an "archive" -- it's a graveyard where his content goes to die, mostly untouched and unwatched except for detractors looking for a clip through PigPigGo. No one is excited to see a new DSP video in their sub feed.
I think you're struggling with this concept somewhat for a simple reason; the videos you are making, even using as an easy on topic example in the monthly or game play through income total videos, are being constructed with the concept of being useful/entertaining for the audience of them in mind as the driving force behind their production. The videos Phil shits out? Just an archive, except now he streams there too, so even that's a default answer lie now thanks to changing circumstances he's too lazy to shape up on his end at all. Of course shitty videos will struggle to get to five digits of views, they're fucking terrible! Of course a video created with the audience for it primarily in mind is going to have a better chance of success, it's not conceived to be shitty for them when they watch it! Yes, these are both simple concepts and one shouldn't have an excuse to be allowed to occur while the other should be the default for both examples being compared, but the fact they're not is why you're astounded by it, because you're forgetting the bedrock foundational difference between the two examples.

Have any restreamers gotten ahead of the curve and just started titling their broadcasts under the banner of "This is How You Don't STREAM" yet? Because holy shit that's a missed opportunity for a meta laugh if I ever saw one if it hasn't been a thing to this point.

Actually thats a really good idea. Because even in my 10 viewer streams me and my co hosts just riff on his dumb shit. Probably too frequently.

I like Phil's protective instinct, almost like a father. Just to get it clear, he means these people we totally can't see?

Yes, literally invisible. I wonder who made a retweet of his schedule, it stays a mystery.

Is positivegamer3 the infamous "allotta people" DSP talks about so often? He's the cookie cutter fan DSP wants.

Oh hey... Another thing that could add viewers and create interest and $$ for Phil.

Having an occasional co-host to game and talk with.

Even the beat monologue in the world can have a hard time competing with two guys just sitting and riffing of eachother, that’s where the magic of an entertaining conversation happens.

But, nah... Let’s have a stream with 100 viewers that’s Phil’s personal echo chamber.


(Ya know, it’s kinda crazy how some random trolls shitposting, on a regular basis can come up with better ideas for his “on demand video service and stream”
than Mr, Business school “I know what I’m doing” Burnell ever does.)


EDIT: Sorta related. But an oldie and goldie for sure!

Phil explains why direct capture is for brainless mahrons and not real gamers or something like that.


RIP Phil Burnell: Real gamer 2008-2013
He did everything correct, nothin’ he could do!


EDIT 2: For everyone who claims Phil isn’t an autist. Check out the turbo-swaying at 12 minutes in. The only place I’ve seen something similar are little kids at special autist schools, Lololol!

Obviously, the 480p camera has a lot to do with this but look at this pic used for "Sloth"... If this was taken out of context and you didn't know about Dark, how the fuck could your brain even parse this shit?

What the fuck even is this?
If you played No Man's Sky, this is very common.

I think that's why he doesn't want to play it again. Too many memories.
 
Phil never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Weird how he was a legit Sopranos fanboy with the swaggery walk, Italian poser lingo and leather jackets. Obviously one of the points the show was making would fly over his head... They were all Italian posers to begin with, and Phil aped them anyway. A shitty ripoff of a shitty ripoff. Fitting. I guess he's not excited for Many Saints of Newark, either. Maybe when he hits a 20 year beggacy we can do the whole PHIL DID 20 YEARS IN THE CAN(tent creation) meme. He sure has compromised a lot, too. His morals, his dignity...

Regarding coop, honestly Leanna wasn't a bad content creator when she grew out of aping Phil. Her channel's gone now with no archive but her Sleeping Dogs playthrough showed she had mostly shed the annoying parts of her personality, and she was in all fairness reasonably above average at games. Beating RE5 on pro was never super hard, you could use a ton of incredibly busted weapons to do so, but it's still a pretty nice feat.

I can however confirm that Kat is about as bad as Phil at games on a good day. At this point he should give us at least a creeper shot to prove she's still around on a roommate level. Coop streams would be another slam dunk that he'll never do. And in all honesty, people would show up to call Khet a fat horse. If Phil's above doing coop with similarly radioactive people like RTU, Wings or LTG, and above the potentially highly profittable ones (Badbunny+DSP do Re5 on pro and Re6 on No Hope, that would be legitimately hype) he's not gonna bring someone "normal" on camera. Not for all the gabbagool in the world.
 
HE IS STILL TALKING ABOUT HIS
SCHEDULE?!!

Mah god! Only trolls and legit tards can legit stand this endless babble.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a game played at some point?!?

EDIT: And now he’s shilling memberships.

Watching DSP is like watching some weird autistic mix of QWC and ugly artwork with occasionally some gameplay thrown in.
