Shady streamer 'DarkSydePhil' solicits $1K+ for receiving false copyright strikes

I used to mod for the guy on both his Twitch chat and his forum.

Between his own ridiculous and ever-increasing faux pas, the legion of online stalkers that record and analyse his every move and the sheer amount of high-school drama that came with it all, walking away was the best decision I ever made.

Geez, modding for any big streamer, even half as... controversial as him must've been stressful as all hell.

I think I'm in the camp that's saying that it's not our job to police this. If people wanna give him money, then I guess... it's their money and they can do whatever they want with it.

I also don't believe he made up the copyright strikes, its too elaborate for someone that can't even crouch jump. However, he did take advantage of it big time. It shows though, that if these kinds of emergencies happen he will be taken care of by his fans. I know there are detractors out there that want him to fall but its not possible. For as long as he gets that kind of audience he will never fall. He will fall eventually but not the way detractors want.

DSP is a whiny man child who treats his fans like crap. Still, I have more respect for him than I do the people who spend tens of hours making montages of him or commentating over his videos.

The obsession that people have with this guy is pathetic.

He likely will fall soon, whether it's due to his stalkers finally getting him or his own actions.

Lol, I literally started looking into DSP and all his bullshit over the years yesterday cause I got bored. Found a lot of stuff from YouTube about him and his shitty ex girlfriend. I love
the, "this is how you don't play series" too. I think they get more views than his main content. Also, for those that don't know much about DSP, there is a pretty good mini documentary I found that explains everything about him from the beginning. It's 30 minutes long, but well worth the time to watch for all the bullshit.

Yeah, I saw some video a long time ago where it was like... a podcast of people dedicated just to talking shit about the dude or something like that. It's left me not wanting to click on any of the links in this thread.

Literally all I know about DSP is from the GAF threads about his disgusting behavior. Rather than not being banned on youtube/twitch, I'm more concerned/confused about why he not only has fans, but has fans donating to him to make sure he keeps streaming.

I think once he stood out for being kind of a fuckup he really leaned into that, sort of like a youtube version of a heel in wrestling..

Yeah he is a pathatic guy and i kinda feel bad for fans who donate to him it's a money waste.

Parody videos about him are pure gold tho he even made enemy with lots of people for repeating insults about Kojima and his dumb racist jokes/slurs. + he is just a piece of shit personality wise.

Literally the worst turd of youtube/twitch tbh.

It blows my mind that this guy is somehow staying afloat.

That's all he's really doing, though. He's not making real money, he's not building anything, he's not bettering himself as a person while he does the YouTube thing. He's just coasting by, delaying the inevitable moment that he has to give up on this and get his shit together.

I wish I could pity him, but he's a an antisemite and a racist so he can just fuck right off.

Eh I still have no respect for people that still follow him to troll him and make two hour montage videos of him. People that do that are literally giving him attention

Someone should tell a Twitch mod to watch his stream. They are usually on top of things. I find it hard to believe they would defend him.

He legitimately believed for a long time that capture cards were stupid and not the ideal way to record gameplay. He didn't get one until like the early 2010s. lol

He was losing followers on Youtube. If he didn't stream on Twitch he would have been in financial trouble.

Yeah, but he was following followers for a reason. We are talking about someone who was too lazy to get a capture card and recorded footage with a camera for "couch experience".

You know how hard this is to believe right? The man is a meathead. I’ve had my eye on and off DSP for like 7 years, he is not sly enough to come up with this.

Isn't this the guy who got caught masturbating in front of kids on Twitch? How did his account not get banned yet?

Yeah i agree the first few parody videos (the this is how you don't play) were funny but some channels literally are dedicated to making them on a regular basis wich is abit too much.
