And somehow, he's still richer than all of us.

because of all the attention he has(had) online

 

[Don't you lecture me]

And somehow, he's still richer than all of us.

Not at all. Yes, he has gained hundreds and thousands of dollars over the last decade and a half, but that doesn't make him rich when literally every cent of it has been pissed away on worthless crap. He straight up empties his bank account almost daily, not a single cent he's made over that time has actually been built up into "Wealth".

Dave IS broke, but it's entirely because of himself being such an idiot. This is how you don't get rich.

 

[Sup3r]

And somehow, he's still richer than all of us.

Is he really though? Most of his money is in a form he can't get any return out of, like gin gacha and doordash. He's also regularly behind on his own bills (the real ones, not his everyday bills) and his bank account is almost always empty. Hell, he barely owns the Wahkahndo at all, with him still owing 100s of thousands on its principal.

phil has a higher income than a lot of us. but he has zero savings.
he's too addicted and doesnt have any foresight or discipline to save.

Phil is just a shallow person who is just a product of his environment and state of the society he grew up in. Everything in the neolib West is now seen as performative and there is no intrinsic value to anything. This coupled the genetic aspect of it, by which I'm saying that he's dumb as shit, and you get a person who cannot see anything past the surface level and doesn't understand the deeper meaning behind anything. He is incapable of reaching a deeper understanding about something since he cannot understand the intrinsic, basic element behind anything.

I don't know if he is a consumer bugman due to nurture or if he is one due to the fact that he is so tremendously low IQ and intellectually lazy that he can't be anything else but that.

I wrote before how Phil can only consume because he is so lazy that he doesn't want to go through the process of having a hobby, when you start doing something you are always rudimentary at it,after a while you become more sophisticated and you want to learn more about what you are doing at a deeper level,maybe at some point create something of your own related to that hobby after you know enough about it,an example of this would be going to the gym having no clue as to what you are doing,then you start learning about how muscle is created,learning the intricacies regarding proper training,nutrition and adequate programming, and finally adding your own stuff to your workout program that you think it's better.

I don't Phil is capable of this since he is too low IQ or lazy to understand things on a deeper level(this nigga can't even do addition on his tips properly), he is hardstuck on being a consumer bugman because deeper thoughts are impossible for him,he lacks the sophistication for those things,I have met people IRL who are like that and I'm sure everyone else has,some people might be lazy consumers but they are also too stupid to understand the substrata of stuff so they are superficial like Phil. On top of that you need to add the fact that you need failure in order to perfect and in Phil's mind every failure is due to someone else's fault so it's not like he can get good at something if he never admits he makes mistakes in the first place.

Imagine living a life where you don't care about anything but getting dopamine hits and status symbols because you are too retarded and lazy to want anything else, what a waste of a life.

 

[Corpun]

This is going off his new rant on the shower and his general lack of any basic maintenance, as well as calling Pewdiepie of all people irrelevant and a loser.

Phil is insanely spiteful f anyone vaguely more successful and he knows everyone knows it. His own ego makes him think he is some sort of father figure to Felix and various other let's players and people who make gaming centered content in general. Because of this he believes there is some sort of payment he is owed by various people for allegedly being their inspiration, whether it be a shout out or (hypocritically) complaining how they steal from fans while having millions, despite Phil himself almost certainly being a multimillionaire at this point if he had fucking financial sense.

He also seems to project that everyone who hates him is just super jealous of his life and how he lives, yet I am a firm believer that this is all a lie and he knows it. He has no friends, he goes out once a week, wastes all the money het gets from wheelchairs and is increasingly toxic to everyone. He has no skills, marketable or otherwise, and constantly relies on everyone else for help while he never grows up from being a lazy manchild who whines all week long. I doubt even Khet is happy, if she ever was.

Now onto the point I wanted to make (reference video here) about Phil's very lack of home maintenance. This man has lived in a house for several years yet does not know the first thing to do when a water appliance isn't functioning right is to turn the water main off. What does he do instead? Brute force things as usual and probably make the situation worse by turning the valve until it's just about leaking, then leaves it be. He further complains about pricing for home maintenance, as if this is not a skill he could learn himself. Granted there are some things you need trained professionals for, but a lot of his complaints could easily be solved by learning how to use a fucking screw driver. He does no maintenance on his house and evidently expects someone else to do stuff for him all the time, because he has evidently been raised this way. The man did no fucking clean up on the second bathroom he owns, then acts inconvenienced when it is clogged. He buys paper plates in bulk, costing him God knows how much because he can't be assed to do dishes for a few minutes.

I fully expect for him to mess the shower up then complain when the repair bill is in the thousands, because he has no money dood! It's a scam! All they did was work on it for an hour and replace expensive parts! I could've done that myself! SNORT! Then go right back to begging to pay his new weekly plumber bills or something.

I sincerely hope Phil's parents snub him one last time and cut him out of the will.

guys i have a wild theory, but hear me out

Phil is planning to die within the next 10 years. not in a suicidal way, but more like if he keeps living the way he does, their would be no other option but to die. look at his life style. completely sedentary life, eats like shit, he doesnt even take the time to shower every day, bad hygeine. makes 100k a year but pisses it all away on gambling. i wonder if their is some psychological basis for it?

the only sensible outcome for such a lifestyle is to die within the next 10 years. as an old man, he'll be geriatric as all hell.
edit: he's burning the candle at 4 ends somehow. but is their somewhere in his subconscious that wants this to happen?

 

[Sup3r]

I think a lot of it is his paranoia as well. He's so scared of any potential consequences that he doesn't want to risk doing anything else. He talks about wanting to do things but that he "doesn't have the money" and yet we know that the latter is bullshit. He's so scared of being recognised as "the guy" in public that he no showed a 341 meeting for the bankruptcy that was so important to him.

I don't think Phil wants to die. He's just become such a slave to his addictions that he just can't stop. He's secluded himself from any sort of outside influence and is just too stubborn to admit he has any sort of a problem, so there's very little chance of anything short of a near-death experience being able to snap him out of it at this point.

That's the thing with addictions. By the time you you even realise you have one, it's often too late. It's known that most people often don't even realise how bad their spending can be until they take a step back and look., which is hard to do when companies are obtuse with how much you are actually spending. Combine that with a refusal to hear anything that is remotely critical of him and Phil is in the worst possible position to deal with an addiction, let alone the 2 we know he has. Him getting money every day from begging means that he hasn't had to budget for years and he got used to "earning" more than he is means that he has no understanding of the value of the money he gets.

If his "fans" truly cared about Phil, they'd stop tipping him altogether and instead, focus on superchats if they want to donate. This would force him to budget to make sure he has enough to afford his bills and groceries for the month meaning that any whaling of his own that eats into that can't just be regained overnight. Of course they don't really care about him because they either tip to "spite" us or for the recognition of hitting an arbitrary goal.

See, I think it's the opposite: Phil is planning on never dying. I think that plays a lot more with his immaturity and lack of forethought into anything. I'll be fair, I don't think our brains can really accept totally that we are going to die, I think we'd all probably just off ourselves if we could, but I don't think that Phil ever reached the point most adults reach where they realize that they are finite, and that if they want to do something, do it now. It's one of the reasons why people start feeling guilty or bad when they're just wasting time, even if they're having a good time doing something low-key and unimportant. Though maybe that's just me.

He is living for the absolute basics of existing. He's eating, he's got a roof over his head, and something to keep his hands busy. That's it. I think there are things he wants to do (he's expressed an interest in opening a restaurant which please dear god make it happen) but I don't think he's making any practical steps towards making these things a reality because he thinks he'll have the time when he really doesn't.

That said, totally see where you are coming from, and you could be totally correct because of how anomalous Phil is.

He lives just for the moment. Even a nanosecond later is too late for him to care about.

He's not interested to make any practical steps to do anything, untill he feels forced to, and even then he won't do anything drastic because he won't see any immediate return on investment.

 

[Trugrade]

People like him, that can talk themselves into having any sort of mindset that’s convenient for them. To totally forego any sort of worldly logic and frame the entire world into their narrow view that justifies every action they take. Devoid of any sense of morality, a pure survival mechanism of the mind that never shuts off. Acting entirely for self gain, all the while looking you right in the eyes and lying with the comfort and ease of tying a shoe.

I swear, I’m almost envious. To live like that with such lack of self awareness is damn near impressive.

Phil is absolutely the sort of person with no sort of long term plan in mind. Whenever it has come down to making any major decisions that we know off in his life, they've always been on impulse and not something that he's talked over with his viewers or maybe even his roomate, remember when a viewer asked (this was probably a year back now I think) him about how eventually Phil was planning to transition to a stable job and leave streaming on the side over the course of ten years and his parents talked about it with him whilst he visited them during the weeding? yeah he genuinely responded back to the guy that he was talking out of his ass and made him sound like a complete numbskull.

For instance, did he ever actually consult his viewers on his streams or ask his fans on his forum for feedback about if getting the new next gen consoles right off the bat were a good investment? nope, he did that all on his own accord. He probably only needed to get the new Xbox series x if he wanted to stick with a new console and play most of the library he is currently going through right now, but a PC would have covered his bases for years easily.

And did he actually need that laptop that desperately just for a tool to look at his stream chat and monitor it will playing games? no probably not, he easily could have done some other work around through his current autistic set up, but it would have taken too much work for the piggy and wanted the easiest way out.

This only covers a fraction of his major decision making when it comes to things that directly impact his streams, who else knows what he buys him and his roommate on those expensive shopping trips and an exorbitant amount of food that probably gets thrown away whatever they haven't eaten.

 

[gettingthatgrooveback]

Phil's life is ruled by a 'grass is always greener' mentality.

If X was different or didn't happen, things would have been much better now.
When this new Y thing arrives or when I make this Z change, everything will be better!

 

[Sup3r]

The best part of the laptop shenanigans was that he had no problems reading his chat. This was when his chat was at an all time slow and he was trying to claim it was because of the laptop, when everyone knows it's because his chat is practically a ghost town. That's the part to remember, that laptop was a complete waste of money because it does nothing the old one couldn't do and the old one had nothing wrong with it.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

This got brought up in another thread, but my thoughts on the matter feel more appropriate here.

I don't think Phil qualifies as a "mama's boy", at least not in the sense that she alone can get through to him, or get the truth out of him, or tear down his tough guy facade. That's how I'm used to the term, anyway.

We know he's willing (perhaps even highly motivated) to lie to her about very important things, like his ten year plan, which was the condition under which she was willing to give him money to pay his taxes. Or get married, whatever it was. So it's not a stretch to say that he probably lies to her about plenty of other things, especially the more of his online life she pays attention to, because good lord does one naturally have a lot more questions when one observes his stream and his Twitter feed. And that's without getting into the results of Googling his name.

I would posit that she hears more of his lies than anyone else on Earth, because with as much of a coward as he is, and with the kind of image he undoubtedly put on while still living under her roof, Linda is probably the person he most fears knowing the truth about pretty much anything going on with him. But I wouldn't say it's out of being attached to her, just out of extraordinary immaturity.

I've yet to see any evidence that his mom is exempt from his typical selfishness, after all. He had her doing chores when she flew across the country to visit him, flexes on his pigs about the QVC dinners she buys him but never speaks of doing anything for her, and like I said, fleeced her out of thousands with a bullshit story about getting his act together and doing something besides pretending to enjoy video games and dressing like a jackass for the amusement and money of people even less functional in society than he is.

That doesn't sound like someone who loves his mother. Especially since he was also willing to once imply that she might not have longer to live, to extract pitybux from his tards. Think he told her about that? Think they had a heart-to-heart wherein he broke down crying and expressed great shame in what he did? Think she could get him to do that at all, over ANY of his bad acts? I don't. I don't think he's capable of feeling bad about anything he does, he just appears that way at first glance because he's such a coward.

Phil doesn't shrivel up in the face of confrontation out of guilt, but purely because he thinks he's about to get his ass kicked. I doubt his mother has ever gotten angry at him, his behavior tells me that his fear of her knowing the truth is from how many years of work would go down the drain if she happened upon KiwiFarms, or some detractor channels that cut through the memes and get down to straight facts. I think she's the mark he has gotten the most over on, the person most oblivious to who and what he really is, I find it hard to believe it's the opposite given what he has done and continues to do. He fears the years of faking it in front of her being for nothing.

I see no sign of attachment, I see a spoiled asshole who would not hesitate to treat Linda with the same pissy attitude he does with everybody else who doesn't give him his way the second she found about all of it and confronted him on being such a disgusting liar his entire life. Not saying he would show balls, just that he would get indignant and refuse to give any real answers or admit to anything. On the phone, at least. Linda flies out and shows up on his doorstep with a disappointed look on her face, Phil would fall apart like his house of cards because even he can't stand up to his mother so long as she's right there in front of him, but not out of love, just his usual cowardice.

I have no doubt that folks like John Rambo, Howard, and Leanna could crumple him the same way if they really wanted to, because any time we hear about someone he came into physical proximity with deciding to get in his face, they have won. Hell Rambo just called him once and Phil still caved and admitted being massively insecure and making shit up in response to being out-shined. It doesn't take attachment on his part, just the wherewithal to confront him on terms he doesn't dictate, armed with information he didn't want you to have.

He's a mama's boy in that if he has a problem he can't deal with, he goes to her. She was probably the only one who humoured his delusions.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

He's a mama's boy in that if he has a problem he can't deal with, he goes to her. She was probably the only one who humoured his delusions.

Debatable how much he does that today, but in the past, yes, most definitely. And there can similarly be no doubt whatsoever that she fed right into his desire to only hear what he wanted to hear.

But he obviously doesn't LINDA to be his mommy to run to. He just needs A mommy. And I still can't believe that, in spite of that, Phil has the ability to appreciate his mother (or anyone else) for serving that purpose, because he never does feel any actual gratitude for anything. Linda is no exception, clearly, else his behavior would be different. I mean, look at how much we shit on her. Has Phil ever shown ANY hint of being cheesed about that? I've yet to see any evidence that he cares about the things we say in regards to the woman who created him and gave him everything he wanted.

Compare that to his reaction to our discussion of Champions, his sugar sauce, his terrible physique, and the state of his "career". "Mommy", regardless of who it is, is a tool just like anyone else who tolerates being a part of his wretched existence. It isn't love of the person, but his fear of being an adult. I'm willing to bet that if his parents die before he does, he will stream instead of attend their funeral.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

I'm willing to bet that if his parents die before he does, he will stream instead of attend their funeral.

It's incredibly depressing that this is a believable scenario in Phil's life.
