Current Events > DSP lost his partnership on YouTube and his channel is no longer monetized.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Currently on stream: "Idiots say that I'm begging because they are jealous. They work 9-5 jobs and wish they could do what I do."

And apparently constantly asking for money is not begging because he provides a service that thousands of people enjoy.

DSP is a piece of shit

who

Someone tipped him a dollar and told him he needs to work on becoming self-sufficient, and DSP goes on a rant about how people are jealous and he is obviously self-sufficient. Relying almost entirely on people to give him money is self-sufficient.

DSP deserves our support when considering how much he has given to the community

I can't even use his chat because you have to pay to use it. God damn, I didn't need a shout out or anything. Just said hi

I've never even tried. His chat is very toxic. People spam racist stuff on occasion, some of the mods are only mods because they've given him a ton of money, you can get banned for posting anything that is even mildly critical, and newcomers tend to be viewed with suspicion--unless you're giving him money or have been around a long time, you're probably a troll. And this is part of why he has trouble growing his channel; someone new will come in, ask a legitimate question, and get banned almost immediately.

Whaaaat? But Dave said it's the detractors, dood. They're stealing his content and taking it out of context; even if they repeat what he said verbatim, they're lying! /s

Bugged context mechanics.

Apparently Phil cucked someone and got his current gf.

Those sub goals are always hilarious. Most of the new subs were gifted ones, meaning that they are almost certain to not resubscribe. So by next month they'll all expire and he'll be complaining that subs are way down. I think around the time of his last crisis and resulting begging video, his subs got up to 560 or something. And by the next month they were down to around 400. And yet he will continue to tell you that his channel is growing.

I can't really say I'm surprised by how poorly he treats his fans, but it's still hard to believe that they continue to support him even though he shits all over them.

I saw that he reached 500 subscribers on Twitch yesterday, but apparently over 80 of his new subs this month were gifted. There are maybe 4 or 5 of his most loyal fans who spend money to give other people subs just so he can reach his sub goals. That's the dumbest way to "grow" a channel I've ever seen.

What would happen if DSP broke his hand and couldn't play video games on Twitch? How do you think he would try and beg his way to get money. More Cooking With The King? He'd be screwed

I think he'd try to get people to pay him to just sit and talk. His pre-streams are already way longer than they need to be; it really seems like he's doing all he can to do actual gameplay as little as possible. And I think people would continue to pay him to sit there and complain.

Yeah, I believe that you're right

But honestly, I think that would be a better direction for him to go in. He's really well spoken, I don't know why he doesn't sit and talk into his mic more often and put those up on YouTube. Why can't he review the WWE every week and make money on that? Seems logical since he's good at talking, but shitty at video games

I think part of it is ego. He sees himself as one of the original let's players and he claims to love video games (even though it's pretty clear he doesn't anymore). I don't think he'd ever give up video games because they are what made his career.

But I also don't know if it would be sustainable (not that the way he is currently doing things is sustainable). Some of his fans do seem to enjoy when he does an occasional stream where he's not playing video games. But a lot of them don't like it. He gets constant complaints that his pre-stream is too long--people want him to get to the gameplay. And given that he rarely leaves his house and seems to know little about the world going on around him (he constantly doesn't understand references that people make in his streams), I think he'd run out of things to talk about before too long.

Also, I think he's partnered with some company on Twitch, and they presumably wanted him for his gameplay streams, so they might dump him if he stopped.

Yep, and all of those are very valid points

What I did like about DSP was his reactions to controversies, like stuff about the Fine Brothers. It was a bit long winded but he explained it very thoroughly. That's the sort of stuff he should do more often.

I'm watching a This Is How You Don't Play of Ocarina of Time from a couple years back, and it's just painful. It's like watching your middle aged uncle, who has very limited experience with video games, sit down and play it for the very first time. This despite the fast that he has already played multiple Zelda games before, including this and Majora's Mask.
