Why do people keep giving DSP money? He's been living off of people's charity for 10+ years. His content is not interesting, funny, smart, or worthwhile in any way. He's just a selfish, boring individual. His e-begging has no right to be successful for this long while other people with actual talent and charisma go broke.

I know there's a few trolls who throw money at him so they can keep laughing at him, but I know he hasn't been living off of that alone. There's a very small number of poor autistic manchildren who see DSP as relatable, but most of them don't have much money to give him.

Like look at this guy, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_O5oBewQN0. He's one of the most talented musicians I know. 'Longest Solo Ever' he plays the whole band and edits all of it together like one performance. Writes his own music too. His Patreon had far fewer patrons than some of these autistic manchildren who do nothing of value.

What am I missing?

same reason people still give Mersh money, there are some people that are so desperate for internet friends that they will throw all of their disability check at any idiot that gives them the smallest amount of attention and has literally ANY amount of internet clout.

Nick Rekieta also does this on Patrick Melton's streams all of the time, because no one will listen to his problems otherwise.

He has some major genuine fans that give him a good chunk, he also has "ironic" whales that tip for the gay-ops, and he also has minor ones that do for the "troll tipping", like sending slightly disruptive/meme comments; also, minor fans, but it all adds up.

One of his major "ironic" whales did for the spectacle of Kiwifarms and the Vortex as a whole (the DSP Vortex is the whole cinematic universe of DarksydePhil: detractorsphere + DSP community + Kiwifarms + everything else), and another for the spectacle in DSP's chat/community. Then some other.

Basically.
 
DSP has come a long way since the Digitech days. Not only are digital effects like delays and reverbs just as good if not better than their analog counterparts, but modeling has reached a point where amp and pedal sims are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing; convolution reverb is a whole field, as is impulse response, and now with the advent of AI there are even neural network based products to model your own linear effects. Between Helix, Tonex and Variax, you can convincingly model an entire studio worth of gear for under $3k. DSP isn't even the future, it's the present.

That has nothing to do with the topic.

Can AI help DSP lose some weight?
