These numbers are abysmal, it's clearly obvious the Twitch formula copy and pasted onto YT isn't working on YT at all. It's true what @babymngaming456 said earlier, these people want to be ENTERTAINED. I don't think Phil is holding up his end of the bargain for his YT folk here.

The new thing now is verifying if tips are legit or not, this made me close the video and move on. I've literally never seen another live streamer do this.

I agree, the algorithm rewards content creators who have audiences that love their content, it feels like DSP uses YouTube as a storage device because he does absolutelyzero to try and salvage it.

I made a post like a few months ago and it got removed (no idea why I'm trying to help) but for a 190K subs, the channel has very low interaction. DSP spoke during his thanksgiving vlog about how he still cares about YT which is why I'm making this post, so I'd assume he'd still like to grow his outreach. For me, it has nothing to do with his format, there are tons of lets players who are successful who upload like this. YouTube is the king of growing audiences! it just doesn't reward spam uploads as a way to get in search rankings like it did it 2009 to 2012ish which is how DSP grew his audience in thefirst place. Its more based on watch time and engagement.

I agree with this, thats why he hates YouTube. Because to get paid anything close to decent there, you need great content and not spamming low effort videos.

Exactly thats whats odd about it, he has a 2 hour stream every day talking about this....getting a hobby would go a long way for Mr Burnell.

I thought the voice notes was a weekly thing for the schedule, but apparently he's doing it every day? LOL

I saw this earlier and it gave me an idea. Instead of asking fans to make content for you, why not hire a professional to take some of your popular streams where you sing a lot and make a remix playlist? or just use royality free music that YouTube is filled with. I dont think the initiative lies with your audience to make your content better. If they do it, they do it but never ask IMO

I can already see that emote being used for when he asks for tips because its a slow day and then boom a big tip comes in.

This is what I remember: DSP was making fun of Ninja, about his hair, and him behaving like a clown for children for views. Really gross and defamatory stuff. Someone donated to Ninja and told him. And Ninja said something to the effect of "I'll handle it". This was relayed back to DSP and he went into serious panic mode and started apologizing to Ninja all over twitter, writing detailed threads about how he needs to change. In my opinion he only apologized because he saw Ninja's reaction, the old "not sorry that he did it but that he got caught". What he said about Ninja IS WHO DSP REALLY IS.

I remember when he did that, Ninja found out and DSP started to apologize profusely on Twitter. I thought DSP kept it real and honest?

This is really the only logical conclusion to the long pre-streams and constant barrage of voice notes on Twitter, it got me thinking... if he had literally ONE friend... prestreams would probably last 3-5 minutes. IF this is the case, it makes me feel pity him, imagine waiting all day to tell people online how your day went because nobody else will listen. This tends not only be a Phil thing, but I see it happen all over Twitch and live streaming. This forced me to consume his product through YouTube, which is ideal way to watch his stuff (you can pick and choose what you want) the elongated prestreams are probably a mix of lonelyness and monetary. He probably makes a reasonable amount of tips during it because he's directly talking to the chat, so it gives him more motivation to do it every day. Some of the motivation needs to be re-directed to the quality of life improvements of the stream, but like Phil said before in this forum people who want this aren't the target audience.

I think this shines through in the overall quality of his streams (he needs to start being motivated into improving it i.e. adding green screens and less gibberish on prestreams) anyway its such a weird symbiotic relationship he has with trolls. Most of the donations and viewership/outreach is from trolls giving him money or making YT videos I think he knows that. If they were to cease to exist who knows where DSP would be. I remember his Horizon Zero Dawn playthrough where was making nipple jokes non stop, it was a yikes from me dog. It goes to my initial point about improving the quality of the streams, there comes a point where you evolve and not make jokes like that.

I'm sorry but DSP is COMPLETELY deluded if he thinks the reason why Sony/Microsoft don't give him a console is because "he keeps it real and won't tow the company line" The reason why they won't give DSP a console is either of these 2 things: 1. They have no clue who DSP is (the best option for DSP) all his stuff about millions of views on YT means nothing if your channel averages less than 500 views a video. 12 year legacy means fuck all in this situation. 2. They know who DSP is, and their PR team (who is more than likely young and the most likely option because of the Xbox Roast Tweet) is aware of not only the negativity surrounding him but the fapping incident along with all the compilations on YT of him saying obscene and disgusting things, none of this stuff is recent in Phil's defence but it won't stop them from taking a hands off approach because of the backlash. While it is true that Sony and Microsoft are giving consoles away to people who are "safe" and "mainstream", an example would be Microsoft giving Xbox Series X's to the biggest Xbox fanboys on YT. This is not the case with DSP, I'm genuinely concerned that he fills his head with this fake reality that he's some trailblazer that everyone fears because his honesty. Stop get some help, remember that State of Decay tweet? He literally thought was in the right, probably smiling ear to ear when he pressed enter. Until he was clobbered back to reality.

I dont know why they make me laugh, maybe its because its completely unnecessary (maybe for accessibility reasons? idk). Between this and his ridiculously long pre-stream....the one yesterday was 2 hours long... does Phil love the sound of his own voice? lol or maybe he's just bored.
