even trying to just talk to them civilly doesn't work because they tend to feel like they're winning by making you grovel. the most notable example of this to my experience is when lunethex and i did the vermintide series, one dude from reddit made this crazy 180 from interested to virulent hater over the course of 2 weapon videos we did. when i tried to ask him why he responded with a barely-readable screed about mechanics and frame priority and demanded we make an apology video for how wrong we were.

That reminds me, you never did make me that apology video.

I hate the vile trolls too, especially when I lay out a pile of birdseed (with a sign above it that says "birdseed") and tie an anvil to a rope and hang it precariously above the birdseed. When the trolls eat the birdseed, I let go of the rope, yet to my chagrin, the anvil mysteriously hangs in the air! Naturally, I go to investigate this phenomenon, only for the anvil to comically flatten me.

Have you considered painting a tunnel on a wall to trick the trolls into running at the wall?

Why is the Twitch VOD player such loving garbage? Every time I try to watch a video on it, it takes up all my CPU and memory. It's gotten slowly worse over the past few months and I'm wondering why.

So despite everything DSP is trying to say
It seems he got a 24hour suspension on his twitch channel.
Probably for his fundraisers

Hilariously, he's trying his hardest to pretend that nothing happened and that the only reason he didn't stream today was to "do his taxes". Cause you know, nobody can just go to his Twitch channel and see that it's suspended...

He's walking on thin ice, and if he attempts to try his "pay my taxes" fundraiser on Wednesday then he's going to be hosed. Every detractor who cares has basically gotten confirmation that reporting to Twitch does work and they'll be coming out in droves to shut down Phil's twitch channel permanently, nevermind the countless other examples of Phil's toxicity.

Hard to pin him 100% on that one with no video. Besides, between making GBS threads on other streamers/developers, accepting a bribe to unban a viewer, constantly stating that he's gonna be doing a fundraiser to raise enough money to pay his taxes, and general toxicity, Twitch is spoiled for choice on legitimate reasons.

Well until recently he never did blatant "FUNDRAISER TO PAY MY TAXES" streams. Also, Twitch's new ToS are kicking in soon which is supposed to take more aggressive action against toxic people, regardless of whether or not that toxicity originates from Twitch or outside social media.

Also I guess it's fully possible that much like Machinima, Twitch didn't care. Machinima only got rid of Phil when he became too much of a hassle in comparison to the money he was bringing in. It's fully possible that Twitch is now starting to see DSP as a stain on their brand that doesn't bring in enough income to justify ignoring any more.

I really hope this ends DSPs sordid online story. Not really a hater; I think I've watched more video of slowbeef pretending to be Phil than actual footage of Phil. His toxic dependence on free streamer money combined with his complete inability to deliver compelling content, and to apparently live his life in a sane fashion, is a bad mix.

If you cant fly a random cross-country girl you met on twitter to your ridiculously oversized condo, that you can't afford in an expensive state, that you never go outside of except for fast food, 4+ times, before having her move in to exclusively cook meals and clean and parade around as a possession, then why are you even a Twitch streamer?

You say parade around like we've seen the girl since she's gotten there. There has been exactly 1 picture of her since she's moved in and then she is only mentioned when sombody asks about her, and even then it's about what she cooked that day over anything else.

Fair, I guess it's more like the parade is going on 3 streets down, and you hear a lot about it but the traffic it too much to actually see any activity.

But the guy you know near it has hashtagged #parade in 16 of his last 17 instagram photos.

Where IS that video anyway? The link posted earlier in the thread doesn't work. You'd think if it was audio of DSP making the bald man cry, it'd be plastered all over YouTube, which it isn't. So I'm kinda reluctant to believe this one. Unless there's proof. You know, the hard, irrefutable proof that causes a sticky situation when it comes out.

e: Not sure if this was posted...9 months ago? But Phil was playing the Friday the 13th game, audio chat on, then some people recognize him and start talking about him jerkin' it on cam, getting cut from Machinima and whatever else, and then Leanna. The whole time Phil practically says nothing aside from "YUP THAT WAS ME, YUP TOTALLY DID IT GUYS". As soon as they mention Leanna he cuts them out of voice chat and proceeds to poo poo talk one of them about his voice. Good job Phil.

Why was I even hoping this HAD to be fake. Of course it's not. Of course he jerked himself off on stream AGAIN. This is Phil we're talking about here.

Clicked another video in the related from that one.

His big ol fundraiser was a complete flop as far as things seemed to go.
He had a goal of 550 subs but somehow lost more than he gained ending at 432.
Hit tip/bit goal was 2K but he didn't even break $100.

Somewhere along the lines he started blaming his viewers for the low amount of interactions and "participation".
Participation in this case being cheers and tips.

Bear in mind that he only engages with the viewers that throw money at him and ignores everyone else.
I should mention that the last time he held a fundraiser was back in December where he somehow managed to make 10K that day.
So it's actually kind of funny that this one flopped so hard when he expected to be able to repeat December's event.

Not sure where you are getting 10K from, cause he sure as hell didn't make that in the December fundraiser.

Regardless, yeah, his fundraiser was a complete failure. He's hopeful tonight that because he did well on one prior session of CoD WWII that that will encourage people to "participate" more.
