Nah, he's still around. Although it's hard to say how much longer considering his largest contributor on twitch has been permabanned from the platform and old Phil is acting like the guy doesn't exist anymore.
Also as a fun fact the fake escort was actually a husband and wife scammer/hacker team that for over ten years pretended to be various escorts / camgirls using stolen pictures and the like.

I thought the pictures of the wife were misused by someone else and that the husband only learned about it through reddit?

You mean he didn't spend $18,000 for a woman to pose as his girlfriend? The guy is dumb but I doubt he had $15,000 before he decided "nah that final $3,000 is a bit much for me".

What does it say that a user being banned off twitch will effect Phil more then the possibility of him hiring a lady to peg him?

Let's be realistic here for a bit. Phil has been through/done other poo poo that would stop any NORMAL individual, but the Phil train just keeps on chuggin' along. Fake hookers, IRS, & permabanned Twitch fans be damned. If Phil hasn't stopped now, he's not going to. Even IF he goes to prison for tax evasion, whatever, he still won't stop. Most inmates use their smuggled cell phones to contact family, coordinate their gang bullshit between facilities etc. etc. Phil will use his to Let's Play Prison while claiming how the showers are bugged, THANKS KOJIMAWARDEN.

Fred really is a horrible person. Denying that she had a terminal illness, claiming she was doing it for attention. And then when she passes he tries to skirt around the problem and not only that but decides he is going to find her obituary. I guess he thought she was faking her death too, for attention of course.

GameFAQs doesn't do comments, although feedback to me is acceptable. So are ratings. And it's against my personal ethics to have a patreon/whatever account for my fanfiction & FAQs.

SPACE FACE! SPACE FACE!

Guys, I've done a lot of research about gaming channels on YouTube and have come up with some surefire ways to identify the best videos that I'm going to share with you.

The best videos (and channels!) can be identified in the following ways:
Thumbnails
- A thumbnail with the presenter drawn as a waaacky cartoon character overlaying the title screen is a real sign of quality. Bonus points if the art is anime styled!
- Similar, but different, a thumbnail with the presenter's face superimposed onto one of the game characters mean you're in for a fun time! Bonus points if the face is like really angry or maybe scared
- The best use of the face in thumbnails is when it's all face. Who cares about whatever the game or subject is? Get that poo poo out of here. Bonus points if wearing a headset, but like a really expensive one.
- Treat boobs in the thumbnail as a kind of golden ratio, the more space they occupy in the thumbnail the more better
(There's a lot more to add here like an off-model mickey mouse=GOLD but those can indicate non-game videos that are also REALLY GOOD so I won't mention them here)

Title
- Superlatives are super! It's not a real title unless it has "weird", "best", "mind-blowing", "unbelievable", "incredible", or some other hyperbolic indicator in there.
- Industry veterans like myself know that the "real" video makers have some secret code words they put in the title to really indicate effort and quality. Don't tell anyone but I'm going to share some of those with you now: "reacts", "top/bottom (x)", "every (x) should (y)", "(x) wrong with (y)", and "markiplier". Bonus space: make something up and then put "you never noticed" at the end. It always makes sense! There's way more but I can't reveal all the secrets at once here.
- How do you know something is really important?? When it has lots of punctuation!!! AND WHEN IT'S ALL CAPS IT'S EVEN MORE IMPORTANT

Channel Names
The way a channel name works is that you have to built a perfect composite that exactly describes your unique self. The best video makers do it in this order, but sometimes they mix it up, so watch out.
- The beginning is usually an article like The, A/An, Some, Those, Your, We, etc. (this is optional but putting THE in front of your name tells people you are both singular and serious)
- Then comes some kind of descriptor. Let your freak flag fly by letting people know you are Angry, Crazy, Irate, Suicidal, Coprophagous, Goofy, Girly, Nostalgic, Funny, Sarcastic, Sexy, Super, Sterling, Skinny, Fat, Cool, Nerdy, Moon, Normal, Insane, Calypygian, Cromulent, and so on and so forth. The sky's the limit here! If you're ambitious (or just that good) you can stack two or more together!
- Lastly comes the noun. Unfortunately you don't have a lot of choices here: Game/Gaming, Nerd, Geek, Moon, Girl/Boy, Guy, Man, Woman, Dude, Lady, etc. You get the gist. If you're desperate you can use a proper name or your internet nick. If you're really desperate I guess stick some kind of collective noun on there like Krew, Zone, Revolution, Group, Band, or any of the previous nouns with an 's' on the end.

I hope you guys found that info helpful, I sure wish I knew this back when I started watching youtube!

First thought was how Nostalgia Chick has since rebranded her channel and is now working independently, making more thoroughly researched film studies which are fairly interesting and educational.

So at least Youtube's been around long enough to have people go through the phase you mention and come out the other side improved.

Discendo Vox

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Channel name section has lots of overlap with my Youtube Intellectual naming guide. Maybe it can be of use:

quote:

Perhaps we goons should create our own composite youtube intellectual. I'm picturing a talking grenade with a monacle, top hat, full tuxedo, sunglasses, mortarboard, full beard, Spartan helmet, walking stick, MSPaint abs, full suit of armor from Dark Souls, and WW2 german infantry helmet.

[Problematic male historical figure/color/light level] [t/T]he [adjective conveying deeply rooted insecurities] [fictional nationality and/or fictional political ideological identifier] [object/animal/"animal"].

Feel free to drop, add, or reorder parts to your liking. If anyone with some coding ability wants to make a generator, please let us know so we can provide material for the lists.
