There are two flavors of lolcow followers:
-People who like watching odd people do odd and/or stupid things
-People really upset that odd people can still succeed in this world and are enraged by the lolcow's continued existence.
the DSP board is poisoned with the latter. He's a hilariously incompetent gamer and streamer. People are legit upset that he's somehow able to still pay his bills despite that.

The people who are coyly asking for the board to be deleted have ulterior motives. They want to drive any DSP related discussion to some site they run so they can run it how they want with less prejudice against people losing their shit over nothing and breaking into his bank account.
So let me get this straight. Your hypothesis is that if the DSP board is permanently closed that Phil's a-logs will make their own site, and start doing worse shit to Phil unchecked. Honestly, that makes sense as to why you're so frustrated at them all the time yet begrudgingly tolerate them despite their high levels of insufferability.

off site they tend be more happyer some think null making there life on sub wosre some your stearm null have point thay line up you go that sub form get rid of it. form point seom them point out when chat some them. and null point thay get wosre yes thay do had one side metkur coverd all reday in all. some pull ther own site again as well..
The DSP board feels so insulated from the rest of the website that I never hear any news about it unless Josh makes a big stink about the people within the board doing something utterly retarded, or I actually make an effort to look anything Phil related which might as well be looking for unicorns since I really don't find him funny. Bossman and Tomlinson are way funnier to laugh at, Ralph and Rekieta are even more incompetent than Phil to more comedic results, KingCobra has that special cow charm to him that other gross lolcows don't have.
There's lolcows who are far superior to Phil in every single way possible. What goes through these peoples' minds to talk about DSP over other people who are far more retarded? What does Phil really have other than lunatic a-logs who've turned their heads into a massive real estate market as the result of Phil being Phil? On top of that, why do so many of the DSP people not integrate with the rest of the site's broader culture? I never hear anything from the DSP people because they've turned the board into their own version of the various ethnic ghettos throughout human history. They never give a single reason as to why Phil is actually still funny other than general incompetence that pretty much every other cow radiates.
He does funny stuff on occasion like the current “King Phil” arc, which is probably the most interesting he’s been in years (and even then it’s mostly through the actions of other people like KC fluffing him up and the dentractors sperging out about it). I think a big reason for the community around Phil is that he’s one of the “OG” lolcows and he hasn’t really changed much since he started. Chris had his big moment with the Incest saga and has been running on fumes since. ADF is completely irrelevant apart from an occasional happening that doesn’t generate much interest. That then leaves Phil, who always has some “scamming” drama and being bad at video games to keep the detractors entertained. He’s like McDonalds, he’s not particularly exceptional (lol) when it comes to being a lolcow, but he’s consistent.
All I know is I pissed them the fuck off yesterday. Such grumpy unhappy fucks that only drink prune juice and apparently never do anything wrong themselves and only watch Hallmark channel.

Honestly, that makes sense as to why you're so frustrated at them all the time yet begrudgingly tolerate them despite their high levels of insufferability.
I'd also agree in principle if the board wasn't already fucking dead after a chunk of the most active post-bankruptcy outsiders intentionally got themselves banned before bugging off to their splinter site. Clearly the containment efforts failed and Phil's a-logs are bound to this fate regardless of what Null does.
DSP hate is so obsolete now. DSP hate made sense back in the early 2010s when the worst people did and became "lolcows" were people who sucked at video games and called video games other people liked bad. With DSP being in the front lines of it. Nowadays, Lolcows and horrorcows have basically been the same thing where we laugh and fuck over people who actually deserve it like PDF'S and animal abusers. The crazy thing is, people like bathtub ross and Nick Bate DID exist back then but people rather have focused fucking over people like DSP and wings over them.
DSP alogs remind me a lot of the alogs from the (now deleted) kingcobrajfs subreddit. When people here looked at the profiles for his alogs on reddit people quickly realized that most of them were losers in dead end jobs who were not that far of from cobra. It became pretty obvious that most of the people who really hated him and wanted his channel gone were just jealous of the fact that he could do nothing and still get sent money. A lot of them were also recovering or active addicts who had done far worse things than Josh. Here's a good post from the Reddit a-log thread anlyzing the patholgy of Cobra a-logs: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/reddit-a-logs.177815/post-18106888
I find the board to be depressing even with the cursory glances I've given it.
There is one thing that really grinds my gears about many of the users on there though. It's the "you don't know the lore!" guys. Imagine you go see a comedy and you just don't find it funny and some prick in the seat behind you whips out a tablet and starts maniacally pointing at a list reasons why you should be laughing. Every minute detail and fact is listed about the movie and it's history. These are the kinds of people that infest that place. It's Jack Torrance level nutcases that have been running the same playbook over and over and over. It's all unfunny, it's tired and worn out. If at any point what you find funny requires a historical scroll thats long enough to hit the floor then I am sorry to say you've lost the game.
As another aside I was watching Phil play a game with the boys from the Kino Casino. I left a few comments just saying it was a lot of fun to watch and had some good banter back and forth. What do you know people who don't even post in the casino thread from the DSP board are there to leave their passive agressive negative stickers. It's just sad and pathetic honestly. Have a smoke and a pancake, relax and learn to have some fun for gods sake.
Pretty much. Some of these people have been there for 10+ years now, seething.
It completely flies over their head how this Phil Burnell, a guy who's supposed to be the "dumbest person in the world", who can't even play games "right", pulls one over on them and is never cancelled for good. Talking with them is fucking miserable. It's a sideshow that has now overtaken the main show, but people involved have not fully realised. They could keep him as a one man island by constantly fucking with any external connection that he tried to establish, but now the morale is so low, he can go on kino casino, Metokur, and other podcasts, call dents crazy and people will be none the wiser, because they don't feel like reading 15 years of DSP lore to arrive at the conclusion he's an evil scammer
DSP is a lolcow, but in no way generates enough shit to be worth a full board rather than a thread. But with the way a-logs post, a single DSP thread wouldn't last a week before a new one had to be created due to the amount of posting
DSP haters are bigger lolcows now, they are obsessed and have to watch every bit the clip farms put out, if not also watching his stream. The reality is no lolcow puts out that much stuff weekly that is worth watching and isn't just boring, however unlike others, DSP haters don't get that.
And with DSP every week, it is the same shit, ebegging and bitching about low viewership/ donations, that shit gets old very fast when it's pretty much word for word the same. It feels like he does it to bait the haters to watch him, because he has very few real fans left and the only way he can make money is to feed those who are obsessed with him.
Will say seems to be a little improved, not heard of users doxing kids related to a mod of DSP in a while or mods of that board shilling their own DSP clip farm, so maybe they are getting better.
Maybe because they have no hobbies outside of obsessively following loudmouthed, idiotic clout-chasers on the internet. Laughing at these morons is a staple of KF, but seriously-go the fuck outside once in awhile.
Why are the DSP Board's users the most miserable on Kiwi Farms?
Allow me to pontificate.
I saw something that really rubbed my autistic brain the wrong way. It was a random DSP poster (@Doomguy) who said that DSP was a NEET. This stands for "Not in Education, Employment, or Training."
Now, I don't follow DSP that much, but I have been aware of him since he played Dark Souls in 2011, so I know that he has been collecting money through the internet and video games for many years. I would consider this employment, because when you perform a task, and generate a revenue stream through it, you are fucking employed. This should be obvious to anyone who isn't divorced from reality.
Unfortunately, that does not apply to literally any DSP poster. I pointed out how he was employed and making hundreds of dollars every day since I checked his recent streams and saw him make $200 on a street fighter stream two days ago, $250 on a stream before that, etc. Every single DSP poster rated me autistic and many took the time to reply to me, usually comparing him to a homeless person and dismissing my claim that he is employed. This is simply ridiculous.
This. This is what you're doing. You, Andy, Ashton, and the dents in both camps. It is a straight up logical fallacy that you retards are pushing. Other people being 'the bad guys' does not make DSP good. He is still an objectively terrible person that has no qualms lying to his fans, friends, the government or even his own parents if it means more for himself.
"He is still an objectively terrible person that has no qualms lying to his fans, friends, the government or even his own parents if it means more for himself."
My guy I am saying I have seen worse. You people treat him like he rapes people in the street and eats baby hearts. There are cows that fit that bill. Phil isn't one. Maybe if you explored the site you could verify that for yourself.
Why is this always the line from ragebaiting tourists? Nobody is doing this, we treat him like the drama obsessed incel NEET he is. You're just imagining shit because you're a turbo retard.
"Nobody is doing this, we treat him like the drama obsessed incel NEET he is. You're just imagining shit because you're a turbo retard."
He calls Phil an incel NEET, and says @WelperHelper99 is just "imagining shit". This will be important to contrast with how the average DSPtard sees Phil.
I would be very, very surprised if Phil has had sex with the past five years. He's certifiably a NEET (zero friends, spends all day begging on YouTube and failing basic videogames, leaves his house once a week of he does at all) and his attitudes towards sex are absolutely incelic.
"You really hate him" because I called him a name? Are you really this retarded?
"He'scertifiably a NEET (zero friends, spends all day begging on YouTube and failing basic videogames, leaves his house once a week of he does at all)"
Certifiably a NEET. Okay, let's do some research.
From DSP's Black Myth Wukong stream
From DSP's Street Fighter stream
From the previous Black Myth Wukong stream
From DSP's Stardew Valley stream
Now, if someone just told you these numbers were a daily wage paid to a contractor for creating something, what would you think? At the very least, that he is employed.
Not so for Phil.
My reply to the previous post about Phil being certifiably a NEET:
he gets paid to play video games. you're free to seethe about semantics and appearances, and everyone else is free to call you a dentractor, because this much mental gymnastics about what really constitutes "employment" certifies you as a genuine a-log.
legit just checked his youtube channel vods and saw he made $200 streaming street fighter last night. you people are utterly divorced from reality. reverse pignotiziation.
this just shows that you have never watched any of his slop. its not a problem with what he considers his job. its the issue of how entitled he acts because he claims hes one of the hardest working streamers out there. how he has no time to make layouts, emotes, donation animations, or clips of his own shit. hell he had an entire channel that he streams on and begs to hit $50 a stream on and all of that content is edited by 1 guy who gets paid with 1 submission a week to his react channel. so no we don't care about what he does, its more of an issue of how he does it and his entitled attitude but hey it's easy to come in here screeching "dentractor" because KC uses that term to describe everyone who dislikes the king. it was a term that originated on this board for detractors who gave phil money or detractors who make up random shit, spread it around, then sperg out about it.
"this just shows that you have never watched any of his slop."
I literally just said, in the post that this person is replying to, that I checked his youtube stream vods and saw how much money he made. On no other board will you see this dearth of self awareness or reading comprehension.
incredible how you can unironically write this without reading the reply chain and realizimg that the point of contention was whether or not DSP is a NEET. I guess this is what zero self awareness looks like. He has a job and gets paid to do it.
But Phil is a NEET. He has a degree that (as he’s demonstrated time and time again) is basically useless. He has no skillset other than learned helplessness, and any skill he does learn come with teeth pulling and as a last resort.
And no, he doesn’t have a job. He begs and is a leech. Money only comes as a result of that. He’s not being paid to beg, he’s begging to be paid.
"But Phil is a NEET ... He has no skillset other than learned helplessness ... he doesn’t have a job. He begs and is a leech. Money only comes as a result of that. He’s not being paid to beg, he’s begging to be paid."
He makes money... from his ventures on the internet... And not one DSP poster would concede that this in fact constitutes a job. It's always just begging, because DSP cannot ever be seen in a positive light. This is the true answer to the question posed by OP. Why are the posters on the DSP board so miserable? Because they are unironically jealous and upset that DSP is allowed to make slightly more than minimum wage by playing video games on the internet. A normal, well adjusted person would just say "yeah I guess he does have a job, but he sounds miserable anyway." and leave it at that.
If he meets your standard for employment, than you had no standard to begin with. Anything and everything he 'produces' has no value and the views and engagement he gets on his content perfectly reflect that, especially when compared to content about him that literally anyone else produces. His unsustainable existence is funded by retards who throw money at him, either because they get a kick out of his awful behavior and want to forestall his inevitable fall or because they're actual retards who seriously can't tell that he's an awful person. You want to call him a businessman when not a single thing he gets in this life is actually earned or worked for.
Arguing about the semantics of NEETdom because he gets paid by dents to snort, delay the pre-stream, and act smug while failing children's entertainment is I think a worthless direction.
What's sad to me that the ragebaiting tourist doesn't even know what an a-log is. Has it been so devalued? I don't wish him any harm, I could care less of he makes all or no money, but a mild needling about his complete lack of a normal life and bizarre attitude towards sex counts? If dramatized but harmless insults about a lolcow qualified one as an a-log, everyone on the farms would be one, from the top on down, including the retard who replied to me.
"What's sad to me that the ragebaiting tourist doesn't even know what an a-log is. Has it been so devalued? I don't wish him any harm, I could care less of he makes all or no money,"
I'm not sure if there's a clinical definition of a-logging, but this definition from the cwcki seems to cover what I'm describing here:
A-Logging, named after noted Chris-Chan critic Anthony "A-Log" LoGatto, is a term used to describe the act of overplaying or exaggerating the negative traits of someone lulzy at irrational levels. This often (but not always) includes expressing disproportionate levels of hatred for someone and/or wishing physical harm on them, usually for perceived "crimes" that they are "guilty" of. A-logging also typically involves comparing oneself to someone noticeably lulzy or dysfunctional, and claiming that they're not as incompetent as said lulzy person.
Exaggerating negative traits, irrationally unable to admit that Phil is literally employed, because NEET = bad, and begging = bad, and not a job.
My reply to this:
You don't understand the definition of term, "a-log." Seethe and dilate. Also thanks for letting me know the bums I see panhandling weren't bums panhandling they were employed in a job apparently, according to you.
His wife allegedly still has a job. How many lolcows do you paypig for, share with the site?
My guy, you've been harking on this for hours now that we are all wrong about his employment status, the man has no qualifications and no training that will suffice for any job in current year, and all of his money comes mostly during his gay little podcast or behind the scenes.
Would you consider the local base head who gets payed to be looked at and ramble about stuff he doesn’t know, followed by him playing with the toys he keeps in his pocket, an employed and respected member of society?
"Would you consider the local base head who gets payed to be looked at and ramble about stuff he doesn’t know, followed by him playing with the toys he keeps in his pocket, an employed and respected member of society?"
So is the homeless guy asking for change at a gas station, if we go by your definition. At least the homeless guy doesn't go around saying he's an entrepeneur, a business owner and thinks of himself as a blue collar hardworker, so you don't laugh at him.
My guy, this is some high-quality fag shit - You couldn't win an actual argument over the meaning of words in the main thread, even after self-admitting you've watched not even a week's worth of information on Phil and why things happen how they do, and instead of capitulating and realizing no one considers a panhandler a true employed member of society, you decided to come here and get stickies with half a page worth of straw - if this doesn't scream bitch made, lord change the definition.
From a day at Walmart
From a day of editing a manuscript
From a day of building a garage
From a day of streaming
Behold! A job!
You are mentally ill, a-log. You have been instructed, many thousands of times, that Phil is employed. Failing to acknowledge the definition of a job constitutes felony pignosis. This is why your life is already over. Enjoy seething.
