'Tism aside i legit think they were entertaining and they never came as obnoxious as DSP in any of their material. I legit wonder why they had to resort to GayOps seeing as they had little to no "competition".
DSP community pre-gayops was split between people who wanted to monetize shitting on Phil vs. not monetizing.
SoK was against monetizing, others like Tevin did whatever they wanted. All of this was fine but they decided to moralfag
really hard against people who monetized detractor videos, such as ardnas.
I remember hearing somewhere that Fred wanted to make DSP-detraction into some mini-franchise/network thing where they have full control (or at least, majority control). If Phil ever legally went after detractors who monetized their videos, that would hurt the SoK brand by proxy. Fred also couldn't directly "control" detractors outside his group, such as .txt or Tevin, so that's where the beef happened.
Then the leaks came out and now most, if not, all the detractors monetize their videos and content at least to some degree.
on topic, I wanted to watch through his persona streams but they were legit the most boring shit I have ever watched in my life except for when he bumbled through combat. Even the TIHYDPs are a slog to watch especially during daytime scenes.
