DSP Thread: Bugged Forum mechanics

He'll never realize it's all the same people. He's making around 1100 dollars on patreon and apparently that number has been stable for a while now. I don't know how much he's making in total per month from all his revenue sources, but if it's not enough NOW (and it is either just barely enough or barely not enough), that situation is not going to improve over the next year. He'll only become less relevant, not more.

Desperation is all he has left.

I just think it's tiring that every time Phil has a meltdown about something he has to go into his whole life story. At this point who hasn't heard it?

[rabidtictac]

I know I hear his entire life story every time I watch any Tevin video. Fug.

[Kama]

He could just say Machinima sucks and leave it at that but that would be too easy

But dude, what about the thousands of new viewers from his KOGayming channel?

He doesn't need them anymore, because he apparently found his niche: having idiots throwing money at him on Twitch.

I really hate twitch because people will use money to get a joke across with the on stream donation appearing. It might be 4.20 from dsp is shit but in the end the dude still made 4 dollars.

If you ever want to see people with too much disposable income (or maybe not, people spend money on nonsense despite their terrible financial situation) and desperate for attention, just turn on some random streamer popular enough to receive donations. It's pathetic.

On the other hand, if you are a streamer, are you really going to turn down potential thousands of buckaroos coming from autists? I've seen people who used to not take donations to eventually give in, because even though your stream gets spammed by morons who wouldn't donate if their message wasn't read in public, you get mad cash.

It's crazy how much some people crave for attention and be part of something and they're willing to spend a lot of money on a lie. I wonder if there ever will be a study showing how much money is being thrown at those streamers because people want to fell a connection and have nobody to hang out with, versus people who simply want to support someone without telling the whole world about it.

You know what they say about a gift horse's mouth...

Oh, I know. Even the ones that dond't act lolcowzy, like quii1l8, engage in shilling subs and donations (although, the contrast between a guy who only thanks his subs and DSP begging for money is remarkable). People donate $50 a month to a guy like it's nothing during a CIvilization VI stream, for "the booze fund" or some bullshit.

I would understand throwing in a buck or two on the hat of a guy who's informative and entertaining, but this? It's genius (from Twitch's/the streamer's standpoint) and devious, but also retarded.
