What would it take for Phil to be completely abandoned by his paypigs?

[DZoomer]

Just an idea I had that I thought would make a good thread.

We have seen Phil set a 1k dollars tips goal to show a fucking cat.

We have seen Phil lying to his fans about the money he was supposed to use to visit his dying parents, only for him to end up using that money to get married (and his parents weren't dying).

We have seen Phil being proven to be a gacha addict who has spent tens of thousands of dollars on a shitty mobile game.

And, most important of all, we have seen the bank leaks showing that Phil spends his money frivolously and was scamming his retarded fanbase every time he talked about how he was almost destitute.

With all of this, people like LonelyCoffee, Jaxx Raxor, Swagginz, PlanetJeff and other members of the Pig Cult continue to shower him with money.

So, what are the things that you can see actually ending Phil's career as a streamer?

Would being caught sexting with a minor be enough? Maybe a leaked audio of him talking to Kat about "how easy it is to fleece money out of retards who watch him"? Perhaps him making fun of SuperBlindCuck being blind?

Or is it only the sweet release of death that will make Phil stop being a hemorrhoid on the Internet's ass?

 

[KKKrèmebrûlée]

Phil's 'career' would end if everyone stopped talking about him. He'd still have very minimal support from the most loyal dent heads but everyone else would leave. That won't happen so expect it to just keep inching along until he dies.

 

[thismanlies]

The only two things I see ending Phil's career is either his paypigs getting bored of his content or him ending up in prison somehow. He's not the kind of person who'd go out of his way to do something absolutely horrific so I'm guessing he'll keep streaming until nobody gives a fuck anymore.

 

[Yautja]

Literally nothing. Hell you even have retarded "trolls" rushing to spend him money.

As long as he gets salty trolls will send him money "ironically" and as long as there are trolls whales will send him money to epicly own them

 

[Don't you lecture me]

If he himself stopped streaming/making videos.

Alot of his contributors do it to rebel against the people who don't like him more than because they like him. Donating to Dave is a "Take that, bullies!" to the anonymous internet people that they're projecting their schoolyard bullies onto. The remaining ones are dentheads who have every inch of their brainspace taken up by the pignosis and will believe anything he says, so even if there was legit proof that he had gone on a murder/kid diddling spree using the money given to him all he'd have to do is say "It's just a stoopid conspiracy" and they're take his word as gospel. If he straight up was not in the public eye in any way shape or form anymore then he'd no longer be a fight for them to take up or a substitute daddy for them to listen to.

And even then there's probably still a very likely chance that someone like PlanetJeff would still be giving him a grand a month anyway, since he doesn't seem to give the slightest shit about what Dave uses the money on or getting any credit for giving him said money.

 

[Phil the Salesman]

Nothing, they’ll have to naturally get tired of him and/or replace him with a new parasocial relationship.

 

[tzgnilki]

maybe if he took a large amount of time off, like 6 months to a year, or if he was banned from yt and twitch, and started streaming on some obscure website, communities usually don't do well with following streamers to different non-mainstream platforms

not that he'd be abandoned, more forgotten

I think he'll always have whales though, but he better hope they aren't old or retarded enough to die in the next 20 yrs

 

[AbsoluteVirtue]

Nothing. They idolize PHIL to the point of bankruptcy.

 

[Personal Jesus]

Scientists would need to find a cure for autism.

 

[The Last Stand]

Either when their entitlement runs out or their parents become wise to their spending habits.

 

[PinkRibbonScars]

Aside from the death of Phil or said paypigs, nothing

 

[We Are The Witches]

You're going to get good answers about what could end his career, as to what exactly could cause specific whales (or fans) to distance themselves from DSP, it depends, not all are created equal.

The ones that do it to "troll" probably need to be starved out of attention and get bored of their little games; the "revenge whales" that do it to spite detractors just need to grow up; the ones that like ""power"" like Swagginz also need to get bored; if it's some findom stuff, get them to therapy; and those who just don't care what he does or will kiss every footstep DSP makes, maybe need to feel betrayed by him.
There should be more examples, but I'll keep it at that.

I'll just remind of the random cases where some people get angry at things you would not think of being important, but apparently are:

He did actually say that he realised Phil is an asshole when he insulted his big boy bing bing wahoo Amiibos.
While we joke about Phil having some apology fetish, this boy very clearly has a name fetish. During the video he loses his shit a number of times because Phil calls him kid and not GamerJlee.

Sometimes is not the most logical reason why it happens, just emotional. Depends on the person, I feel like examples such as Jaxx_Raxor belong to that last group, they would need to feel betrayed somehow, until then they won't care or even listen to the so called trolls.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Probably someone like a Daryl Davis instead of trying to get KKK members to stop being rasis they try to reason with paypigs to stop being paypigs in a face to face no keyboards and social media to run and hide to fashion.

 

[Flavius Anthemius]

Some of his genuine fans seem to gravitate towards him because he speaks his mind and doesn't really give a damn what people say about him.

He is a notorious individual in the video game/let's play/streaming world, if there are certain people looking for a rebellious sort of character, no matter how ignorant or morally warped their perception is compared the majority of normal people online, then it's almost inevitable you're going to find a small dedicated audience of people who want to watch you and see what you do.

Now of course there are far worse characters then Philip Burnell on various platforms, but that doesn't excuse in anyway what he's done and isn't going to turn off a group of people from watching him all the time, just because he might be a "bad" person.

So in terms of people outright stopping to support him, even Phil trying to vandalise his current character and outright say that he's lied to people about his circumstances, he's taken advantage of people's generosity and he doesn't enjoy what he's doing anymore, if anything that would make an even smaller group of people more clingy and attached to his character because there are plenty of strange people on the internet that relate to Phil in more ways then one, whether they have this similar underdog personality or just hang around with other like minded tahxic people.

But like I've said, he is a destructive and incompetent person, and if anything would prevent him from carrying out his current streaming career, it would be because of his own fuck ups. It's too early to speculate what that would be, because Phil doesn't seem to want to stray from the past of least resistance for as long as he possibly can.

This is what would ultimately result in his downfall, his inactions to make necessary change.

Came to say the same thing pretty much. It's never what you think it is going to be. Look here is 100% proof Phil is blowing money on mobile games, take out, and booze. For one reason or another they don't care. What usually has an effect is some kind of personal slight but even then it's a 90% chance they'll go back.

Really though if somebody leaves Phil's chat just to sit all day in a chat restreaming Phil did they really go anywhere?

 

[FraudFrog]

I don’t believe much of anything can. At this point Phil doesn’t even need an excuse, he just can ignore the controversy and pay lip service to it. The cash keeps rolling in. Even if tips and super hats fall below $50 a stream, he will keep doing it.

But, In keeping with the threads OP, there was something to drive away his fans, I think it would be if Phil had a kid. Slim chance of that happening, but if he can get it up and she forgets to take her birth control, well millions of other idiots have proven this to be the cause of unwanted births.

why would they leave if he had a kid? Because then he’s a dad, and not an adult stuck in arrested development like they are. He’s a dad and he’s going to talk about dad things all the time, and neither his fans who are already parents would want to live vicariously through him any more, and his child free fans won’t be able to relate to him as well.
Paypigs will drop off, and new paypigs won’t be there to replenish the well. His energy will drop off (not that he has much of any now). He will begin missing streams and coming late, using his kid as an excuse, but that shit gets real old real fast.
Consider this, Phil streams 6 days a week for most of his day, he does it, not only because he needs fast cash, but he knows the more he’s away, the greater likely hood of his paypiggies discovering someone new to watch.
Having a rugrat changes everything.

 

[A Money Creature]

Some people like throwing their money away. It's quite poetic how the paypigs and DSP both do the same thing- Pigs give to DSP, and DSP gives to Champions. Both are addicted. However due to DSP's nature of "fighting the trolls" there will always be money creatures that stand with him, exactly like the "fighting of schoolyard bullies". Although I think since the bank leaks he has lost people. His net is small, but the smaller the net gets the more loyal and dedicated it reveals.

 

[Idiotron]

Realistically?
Pedophilia accusations.
People will financially support a lot of scumbags but pedo shit is where most draw the line.

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

He’d have to actively mock every mental issue that all of his paypigs have. And I’m not talking about his typical “mouth droolin’ morahn” or “stop talking about furries” shit, he’d have to actively call his fans retarded, degenerate, etc. Even if he did a stream where he showed himself spending hundreds of dollars on WWE Champions, there would still be whales.

Uhh most of his unironic audience are full blown degenerates, like autistic man children in their 30s and actual like, borderline pedos based on their other online interests, I'm guessing you've never visited the fan tread much? The results may or may not shock you.

If anything it would give him an already wider acceptance with more of his retarded fanbase and any negative scrutiny and damage to his reputation would mostly blow over for Phil anyway since you can't really use cancel culture on a guy that's already been cancelled numerous times.

Just look at a bunch of streamers for instance that have been branded as criminals for committing serious offences, sure their reputation is severely damaged but they still get a decent amount of views and support.
