The difference here is that one side of it has no integrity and posts bogus content to drive hits, and the other is PewDiePie.

Of course he doesn't, it's the netcode's fault. Sure it doesn't seem to harm anyone he plays against, but it's definitely the netcode.

I honestly asked the other night in one of beefs streams if DSP had died off and this is what happened next.

Did he get unbanned from Twitch or is he still trying to make the YouTube streaming thing work?

It appears he's still streaming on YouTube and using IRC as a chatroom.

He's streaming on Youtube with an accompanying IRC chatroom (that is dead to the point where he begs people to say things and they don't because they're too afraid of saying something that isn't brainwashed praise and getting banned for it) and conning people with his endless lying on Patreon to try and sustain his hollow, unfulfilling lifestyle.

On the subject of DSP, I remember reading a comment from one of his brainwashed fanboys regarding why they donate and it was pretty much "I could donate to a charity, or I could donate to DSP." which, while it was meant to defend DSP and his donation shilling, it actually provided an extremely good reason why you shouldn't donate money to DSP.

Donating to Darksyde Phil IS charity. His personality is such that he'd either never be able to hold down a job, or end up as a petty tyrant in a management position.

Is he really going into debt now? I've heard that a couple of times, and I really hope his fans can stage some kind of intervention if so because as bad at this stuff as he is I'd hate for him to be in financial ruin.

I saw a funny DSP video recently where he was playing Sonic 06. After killing a boss, instead of heading down the obvious exit tunnel, he decides the best course of action is to walk over lava. And of course he didn't have any rings, and was on his last life so he died and lost an hour of progress. "Whadda ya mean the lava still kills me? How was I supposed to know that? Bullshit!"

He might be heading into financial ruin regardless. I mean, what kind of job experience does he have that could entail something to keep him stable? I don't think he's ever worked since he started his lets play career and that was years ago.

He supposedly moved to a fairly costly private community in Seattle, and got a BMW when he moved out there. I can only imagine how much money he went in debt for that not accounting for his YT income etc.

You know, I do want to say one thing: if you're really laughing at Phil because he is bad at video games, you are missing like 90% of what makes it funny

Also that lava totally looked cooled off.

At the same time, it was Sonic 06. I was even saying "That lava is totally going to kill him even though it looks safe." to myself when watching that part.

I also hope it doesn't come to that. I know he's digging his own hole and most would say that nobody should feel sorry for him for that, but it's pretty much clear at this point that he can't make the rational decisions necessary to stop digging that hole, so I really do feel sorry for him. I'm still holding onto that hope that he'll come to his senses before he runs his life into the ground in a fiery crash, but I won't be surprised if he doesn't, because he's passed up way too many opportunities to turn poo poo around in the past that he completely blew off.

My favorite DSP moment is when he complains about being busted in Grand Theft Auto cause: "A cop runs in from off camera and busts me"

Off camera. Like its some sort of comedic sitcom where character A runs in from off camera for a wacky cameo!

This is how I feel, I just don't know if he'll be able to process it. Like I think he'd be the person who just leaves bills in the corner unopened and would just rant in a video or something instead of dealing with the problem.

Judging by everything he's ever posted, or has been posted here that's exactly what he does.

He doesn't seek to fix problems or get better, merely complain to an audience and monetize the results.

Something interesting that I have picked up talking to some HR people, having "Made youtube videos for a living" for 5+ years on your resume is not a negative it is actually better than having 6 fast food restaurants on the list. It shows that you were brave enough to try to run your own business and were good enough to succeeded for longer than most people starting any business.
The down side in his case is that they will want to see the videos and his temper would raise some red flags.

So Superbunnyhop did a video on the weird poo poo going on with Kojima and had some less than flattering info from a source within Konami saying the company was going to burn MGS to the ground. Konami then issued a copyright claim or DMCA that got the video taken down.

Then Youtube had to step in and tell Konami they had to provide specifics, so Konami cited the footage from Metal Gear Rising as the rationale.

Original video that got taken down by Konami, then re-added by Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMK-kajdgMA

What I really find odd about DSP isn't that he's poo poo with his money, lots of people are poo poo with their money, hell Philip K. Dick was bad with his money and he is one of the greatest Science Fiction writers who ever lived.
It's that he has this weird compulsion to share everything he does with the internet, I mean we have videos of him taking his girlfriend to the zoo for her twenty first birthday, we have videos of his hotel room when he goes on trips, we even have videos of him showing off his new house when he moves he even does unboxing videos, not just of special collectors editions, but of just regular games that don't have special editions. what kind weird form of OCD is there that makes someone thing they have to record every aspect of his life? Seriously I would be suprised if he has hard drive full of videos that he recorded while he was sitting on the toilet. It's just insane.
