I'd guess it was a chargeback?
I'd guess it was a chargeback?
Based on the amounts at the end of every stream since he started having the tip goal:
Jan7-1: $253 / Jan7-2: $30
Jan8-1: $53 / Jan8-2: $18
Jan9-1: $175 / Jan9-2: $79
Jan10-1: $33 / Jan10-2: $107
Jan11-1: $42 / Jan11-2: No 2nd stream
----------------------------------
Total after 5 days: $790
Remember: his goal is to get $200 per day, not per stream, so the current total is "only" $210 short of what he was aiming for after 5 days. Though, let's not forget a pretty sizeable chunk of that has been gathered through (miserably failed) trolling attempts. I mean, if you only take away that one big $121 troll donation by The Goutening, he'd be at "only" $669.
Wouldn't surprise me if he deems this a success, and will be doing more of these goals in the future.
I'll check the tips later on, but my guess would be that he just put the wrong number up, somebody in chat pointed it out, and he changed it silently. He's done that once before, though he usually caught it right away. Given how salty he was today, he might have just not been paying attention.
...
Late edit: Starbeasts tipped another $5 today and it hasn't been taken off. So it's really not clear what happened unless starbeasts fucked up and his attempted tips were declined.
...or he's hiding tips? He did something similar during Minecraft. He didn't add a Tip to the total. When asked about it, he said he had forgotten about the first one when another Tip dropped and then could not remember what the first one was ($5 ). He went on to not add either to the Tip goal tally while encouraging people to Tip because 1) the goal had not been met, but it was so close ( under $50 shy ) and 2) the stream would be ending soon, so Tip now so we can reach the goal....he went on to play for another 30mins.
Along a similar vein, while I cannot find the part where he says it*, during the post Goutening Minecraft stream D$P admonished viewers that the Total Tips ( having dropped the goal part) may not be accurate due to troll activity during the 1st stream. He implied that those Tips might be 'charged back'. This flies in the face of his previous claims that absolutely no tip had even been taken away from him. Not that our boy would ever tell an untruth or anything, but it's food for thought.Maybe, but he added the larger tip before later removing it while making a super pissy face. I think in this case you can just attribute it to stupidity compounded by pouting rather than malice.
Well, on his pre-stream of January 7th, the first stream with the daily tips goal, he said: "I don't get paid for another 8 days from Twitch" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH9nNQwokvI at 17:56). So that should be the 15th (yesterday).Will tip goals return today?
How sad is that? Dark absolutely LOVES to talk shit on the 9-5 crowd, as if we are somehow below him. The funny thing? A bit of powerleveling (what happened to the power level emote?) I made about $320 yesterday doing my job, and most of the 16 hour day was spent sleeping on a chair as my client slept in his bed. I did far less work than Dark and made way more money. This dude puts up a top goal of $200. That’s the equivalent on me holding up a sign that says, “minimum salary; $xxx,” to the agency I work for. That would go over like a lead balloon.
Even when he’s begging at his lowest, even when he’s trying to squeeze as much blood from the stone as humanly possible, even when he’s absolutely clowning it up...
Dark still can’t touch a stable 9-5 job with benefits and PTO. I still long for the day that he’s forced to get a normal job, because I imagine he would still continue to stream on his off time... I just want to hear the salt, the spite from a man who is forced to finally work for a living.
Maybe one day.
I think its going to be a monthly thing now. At the very least, every "slow" month he can point to.Phil has definitely gotten boring.
What are the chances that he continues with the tip goals? He claims that they were done yesterday buuuut I’m in the camp that he’s gonna keep doing it, sporadically at best, daily at worst.
Dood he has a "body of work" on YouTube making him money passively! He makes like $20 a day!
O hey l ook... he has a tips total, instead of the tips goal.
WHY?
