lol. Abi is so braindead it's ridiculous. Just watch someone who has had success with him and you'll see how simple his play style is. Coolkid and Problem X comes to mind. He only has to touch you a couple of times and you're done.
I love it.
Funny you should mention that, I have it on good authority that dave in fact did nuthin wrong. He actually did everything correct.
Dave would love a stream for 10 whales exclusively. He hates chat and 90% of what goes on in it. But at least he’s not Mr. views
He needs to man the fuck up and just come out and say it. "Well, I didn't have as many viewers as I'd like but I made decent money." That would be so much more respectable than this "interaction," bullshit.
Well, I'm very happy for you, Philip. But I'm also quite confused because I see mention of 'viewership' in there and I have been explicitly told several times, called a nudnik for needing to be told, even... that you don't look at views at all, ever. I'd hate to think that the person who said that to me would engage in any kind of insincerity.
I'll add some stuff to @SauceRyuKen 's post. Partly cuz there's a lot to catch up on. Partly cuz I'll never again have a reason to use this information
When tutankhamunn first appeared in Phil's chat, he spammed handfuls of single Bits. He was told by a mod to please to spamming. He then moved to spamming $1 worth of Bits, etc. This went on for the next 4 hours, eventually accumulating to about $2,000.
The Bit spam naturally aroused suspicion, and Twitch staff were notified by many. One Twitch staffer appeared on Phil's viewer list (to my knowledge, at least 3 others have since popped in, as well). The suspicion aroused by tutankhamunn would lead, according to him, to Amazon biefly freezing his account.
He resented Amazon for a spell after this. There was some confusion when a $100 Paypal donator, believed at the time to be tut, charged back the money. Phil lamented this troll and the loss of his tut treasure on Twitter (even though there's no way to refund that $2,000 in Bits). tut claimed his innocence for the charge back in chat.
IIRC, he would donate through Paypal ("no more money for Amazon", as he wrote in chat), but despite his resentment, settled on blowing away all of Phil's subscriber goals.
@Proper Pangolin has an interesting post on page 3551 tying together tut's involvement with the two other Twitch Cows. Proper Pangolin believes that it was LTG's modding of the big-spending tut that got LTG his recent Twitch ban. As the theory goes, since this is something that's gotten LTG into trouble before, it could have been set-up by tut with that in mind.
This is an interesting tidbit I hadn't considered.
God bless you, my friend <3
@Dragoonism Do the LTG "Detractors" know about OverRustle Logs? Maybe there's been less occasion to use it. According to their Patreon, a $5 pledge allows you to add a channel that it'll follow. Might be a worth while investment
I don't know much about WingsOfRedemption. Would Sean Ranklin know enough about tut for him to see it as worth mentioning?
He says he doesn't want chat "harassing". Maybe he's trying to quell the "negative" community that tut criticized. This is Phil's "addressing the problem in his community without addressing it", like his weaseling during the Doxening.
I watched the John and Howard response video recently and John mentions Phil's affinity for meeting confrontation this way: “He goes on to compliment me, and then bury me after that, which is a weird mixture he likes to do sometimes” (Phil even does during his retrospective Project 7 review, maligning the actor Chap with criticisms he claims came from John, then goes on to say he personally never found fault with Chap).
You can clearly see the difference in these ppls thinking processes. Amityshill is trapped inside the nice comfy zone of defending Phil against any little problem, because it's all about him and keeping up the status quo. While Niche (praise him pls) looks from the neutral outside and tries to improve Dave's streams and community, tries to make it more accessible for a wider audience. I'm completely on his side, the ban-emote is a horrible idea, it transforms bans into part of the cult, something to be embraced,as something positive. When in fact it's something completely negative. Hurra, we banned someone, yeaaay - this is what it says, absolutely horrible.
Phil, when you read this 50% of me thinks you legitimately should get a cognitive analysis if you ever see a doctor again.
I wouldn't even bother with Twitch clips, as @JackDavis above says DSP is quick to delete any clip he thinks is negative. Your best bet is to setup OBS Studio, load up the VoD for the current stream (you can refresh it to get newer stuff if he says something later you want to record) and configure OBS Studio to do a screencap of it. e.g. On a 1080p monitor, with a maximized browser window you can get the video player to be exactly 1280x720 (720p) and record just that portion for a 720p video, or alternatively capture the whole monitor as a 1080p video so you can see the chat too. Just make sure you're on an incognito browser window and covering your taskbar etc. (e.g. F11 for fullscreen for the browser so it covers the taskbar) so you don't record any personal info from your setup.
I'll quickly point out that BSV was banned from Twitch in January 2018, which was either before Twitch even implemented the "rooms" feature (subchannels for chat, defaults to a subs only room, DSP has added a mods only room) or before DSP made the mods only room, so he won't have any info on that. My understanding is DSP either gets emailed info and/or has some community room e.g. a Skype group chat where fans who pay attention to detractors send him info so that he's aware of things. Some of this is even just public tweets tagging DSP of things detractors say.
This will be a little :powerlevel: but I did fairly well in school. We didn't have the concepts of 'valedictorian' here (but then we didn't have prom either and do now, so maybe that's changed) but I would've been top 10-20% of my year, one of the typical nerdy loser kids. Fortunately or unfortunately from your point of view my life didn't need to keep up with problem solving, allowing me to live in a fairly lazy & care free way... BUT as the saying goes, 'use it or lose it' and it's clear to me my intelligence has waned over the past 15-20 years since school when not needing to think and puzzle out problems.
