So Tevin had a theory that for the last decade Dragonfucker has been the real lolcow. Think the Wizard of Oz being reveal to be some dude.
I would say despite Darziak steering the streams for the last 12 some years a lot of the narcissistic traits, the nasally voice, disgusting stream ettiquette, bad gameplay, mistreatment of family and friends and audience (both paying and non-paying) are on Phil. All Darziak really did was try and hone Phil's greediness so it has the appearence of giving something back and not just begging. The reality is he's just eating, taking shots, or opening cards. Low effort shit because anything more would be too much work. Thats all on Phil.
TL;DR Darziak was the idea guy but Phil is the one who managed to fuck it all up.
Darziak is a dent through & through, but he's also as good as the person he "works" for, if it makes sense. Phil is devoid of any creativity and leeches off of other more sussessful people.
Fucking hell its retards like Phil that need to be Gatekept from communities. Its the type of person who just jumps in and starts parroting talking points and acting like he has any authority. He's only there to whinge and complain. He's only ever covering the bad times. This nigger only became a Pee Cee Gamer what? 3 years ago at most? But he's acting like a secondary when he isn't even a tertiary. You see it now with Pokemon but he snuck that fake Steam Guy under our noses.
Phil has proudly said in the past that people who passionately defend things are dumb. He has no actual hobbies or things he cares about, other than the appearance of success and the money that comes along with it. Not because he wants to be rich, but because he knows that the appearance of $$ is also a measure of success. That's why you still see the internal strife of looking like a clown with making money. He will tank something that could make him money if it makes him look like too much of a joke, only because he wants to not appear as a joke when we all know he is one.
But back to the original point, his whole life has been a grift. He even said in HS he didn't fit into any clubs, because 14 to 17 year olds clocked him as a phony and a fake, and he's been that his whole life. If you actually like something, that community tends to let you in. Also maybe don't be an asshole too.
I was thinking of that today. He talks so much about how well he's doing and how great things are but how many people are unironically watching Phil? Fifty? And he wants $150 from these people twice a day. That's $6 a day, per person, or $180 a month. And the crazy part is that he doesn't even think of that. He likes having more viewers because it feeds his ego but it has absolutely no bearing on the goal. He could have 5 people watching and he still wants that $150 for both streams. He wants more viewers for his ego but this 18-year-veteran of content creation doesn't understand the concept of growing his viewership so that he makes more money.
And what's more is he doesn't give a single shit. He is entitled to that money, no matter who shows up, no matter how many viewers he has, no matter how awful and boring the content is, no matter how slowly he plays the game, no matter how many lies he's told or how many dollars he's grifted, none of that shit matters to him. Doesn't even factor in. He showed up, where is the money? You don't like him taking 15 minutes off every hour to go piss and pull hogans? Tough shit, he showed up, he is owed that money. Pretty crazy how delusional he is when you think about it. A content creator not worried about his content or his viewers in any way (well, except us tractors ofc) but still expects to be paid $300 for like 5 hours of work a day.
Take any game he plays and find 5 streamers or 5 people making videos on said game. There isn't anybody who acts anything like Phil. You could probably go through 1000 streamers and not find 10 Phils. Phil is just a miserable over the hill asshole that is benefiting from grooming dents from childhood to adulthood (to also still be children), which Phil has said this is grooming when MrBeast does it. He's also the king of the retarded, social pariahs and disabled. If you gave every dent a get out of DSP jail for free card, half would end up back there anyways.
that is the very definition of a dead channel. I checked on socialblade and his 30 day view number is crashing. He was close to 500k in February (RE 9 probably helped a lot) but now? Down and down it goes. His streams are the only thing keeping him afloat. Or rather his 1 or 2 dented whales. Imagine if they quit too. Black shirt begging streams all week long
I love killing Phil with facts...
He gained at least 8000 subscribers from the Asmonrub in November/December, which amounted to about 60-75k in added views over that time. So on average, each new subscriber stuck around for about 8-10 videos and fucked off, given that his numbers went right back down to pre-Asmon levels (hard to know because RE9 had a boost and the more overt use of clickbait titles pulling in more views).
A live streamer with 230k subscribers who is there 5-6 days a week at a (late but) scheduled time struggling to get 150-200 views is pathetic.
I know we're all sick of the flexing but the juxtaposition of him showing off his legs that wouldn't be out of place on a cancer patient while sucking in his gut then minutes later flexing and eyefucking OBS like he's got LTG's nudes on there or something is just... Man. Wild, wild shit. He flexed again after this too but we get the point. The noises he makes while doing it and gritting his teeth like he's giving birth are also just... Phil might be the only person that Phil wants to have sex with. I can't wait for him to get bored with working out in a couple weeks this arc can't end soon enough. I muted the beginning because it was extra annoying.

I've had relatives in their 70s, after a stroke or battling disease, look like Phil. He's 44 and as far as we know, stroke-less and disease-less. Dude might wither away in the next 10 years.
