It would be so easy to give incentives for his donation goals. If x dollars are donated, he'll do a live DSP Tries It. If y dollars are donated, he'll extend the stream an extra hour. Or I'm sure there are other, better incentives. It's minor stuff that won't cost him much of anything and might actually be fun if done right. Instead, you should donate because he needs the money. Why does he need the money? You don't need to know that. Just give him as much money as he asks for and don't ask questions.
But that requires, you know... effort.
I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: there is a HUGE disconnect between what Phil says, and how he acts. He is about to lose his house, but takes a day off. He is about to lose his house, but makes no effort to bring in more money. He is about to lose his house, but he makes no effort to cut costs. Etc.
Also, and this should basically tell you all you need to know. When he revealed that he needed 1800 dollars by the end of the month, he also let it be known that he could lose the house. If that were to happen, he can't stream anymore, that is how he put it. His priorities are all fucked up.
People also seemed to have figured out what is going on, based on what Phil has given out as far as information goes. The loan/mortgage has been sold from the bank where Phil got it, to another bank. This new bank seems a whole lot more aggressive about getting that money back. So.if he is actually trying to foreclose, it might actually end up biting him in the ass.
I don't understand how little effort he puts into to his job. I get being lazy or not being motivated, but he doesn't seem to want to do anything to improve his situation, not even simple things that aren't very difficult. No matter how bad he says things are, the only thing he does in response is ask for more money.
Well, why put in effort when you could just sit there, not improve at all and have people still give you money. I would say that DSP puts efforts into his lies, but it's always just the same shit every time he's "in the worst financial situation of his life." Next month, he'll have contracted some deadly disease and need money for an operation or something. Either that or "Kat will file for a divorce" and he'll need money for a lawyer. ---
