His lack of enthusiasm is one of the worst things about his streams. A lot of his other issues--terrible gameplay, ranting at detractors, begging, insulting people, lying--can be entertaining under the right circumstances. But when he's slumped back on his couch and struggling to stay awake while playing a game he clearly hates, coming alive only briefly to react to tips or ban people, well, nothing can make that fun. Hell, he seems more excited about that stupid vest than he does about any of the games he's playing.

The only reason he is excited about the vest, is because it makes him money. He is driving it into the ground as he does with everything. It won't be long before he'll start resenting HAVING to wear it, and will play the victim, because people are forcing him to do something for money. But you see, Phil is not like other streamers, he is not a thot that does shit for money.

It's not going to last, he set a stream goal, fans will try to achieve it, and Phil has an aversion to things he HAS to do, like playing games. Another great example is the upcoming viewers "choice" game. He complained about not a lot of people voting for the game, so he bitched about it during the stream, then people took to voting and he complained about the polls suddenly changing. Does he truly not get cause and effect?

But like always, Phil will pick what he will, because fuck his honest fans, right?

And that is what I mean with him treating his fans worse than his "detractors". His fans actually vote, actually give him money, and given enough time he will resent them for it. People give him money, ask him legitimate questions, but other than "idiot" and "who cares" they don't get much of a response. Detractor tips/cheers largely get ignored.

But when you look at his trackrecord, it becomes way WAY more obscene. Project 7 is an old time favourite, where he took money to reboot his P7 series and basically just pocked it. Same with Super Mario Sunshine, a game that was voted for with money on patreon, only to not play it.

Money he raised to buy a new camera, then didn't buy it. People giving him dollar tips, but since Paypal takes a cut, he needed them to donate 1.30. People buying him games, but now also have to pay his taxes for him when they do so.

And no matter what example you use, I dare you to find one where Phil is legitimally thankful for what he has gotten. Because I can promise you, you will not find it. He says thank you, but his actions are quite the opposite. He is always pissy when streams are slow on contributions, yet acts like it is the most normal thing in the world when people give him money freely, for just sitting on his ass.

To be honest, he was way more humble in the beginning. But when you look at Phil, he just became worse and worse at pretending, and his "default" character started to seep through.

And this is why I can't understand why Phil, not only has legitimate fans, but actually are whales,since a few of them make up most of his income. Because even if you start as an actual fan, his personality will eventually drive you away.
