Shady streamer 'DarkSydePhil' solicits $1K+ for receiving false copyright strikes
- Thread starter Plumpbiscuit
- Start date
And a lot of his ironic fans/haters don't want it to end either. If he stops streaming he stops entertaining them and fueling parody channels.

I got in a discussion once with him over ST. My position was that touch-of-death combo setups were a huge part of Dictator/M. Bison's game plan. He called me an idiot and said I didn't know the game at all. All of this given that I've played hundreds of matches with the best Bison on all of Fightcade, and still do (close friends).
I unsubbed this prick and never looked back.

He's still salty in fighting games.
You'd think after 15+ years of this he would figure it out but nope, it's never his fault.This is the very essence of NPD.

I get depressed hearing about Dsp. He always seems frustrated playing games and doesn't seem to be enjoying himself and heard he broke up with his partner and also has no actual friend anymore. Can't see this going well for him in the future.

Twitch won't budge, they only do so when they are under huge spotlights that may affect their monthly income.

Can always expect DSP threads to deliver. The guy could've had the world if he didn't keep getting in his own way and kept his attitude in check. Kind of a shame.
An example is him leasing a BMW and shipping it to Seattle with him:

So the guy who I first found out about because he was asking for money when his identity was stolen like a decade ago, is once again asking for money.

Why does anyone care?
People care about celebrities, especially when things turn shady. He's a special case because he's been in the business for so long.

Celebrity? 99.9% of the world has never heard of him... Celebrity is a bit much. I guess i see it as i was never in danger of ever giving him a penny... Why anyone would I'll never understand it.

Viewers voluntarily donate money to streamers they like. It's how this whole streaming thing works.
The only sad thing in this thread is how much effort went into discrediting someone who the OP clearly doesn't like. Especially when nothing the streamer did even affects anyone negatively.

Playing his cards right would have to involve spending millions on some sort of miracle personality transplant.

Yeah I know how you feel. Just sad that this is all gonna catch up to him sooner or later.

Guys not only shady but he's also racist too. I think his dead space 2 playthrough got him banned from blip.tv.

Editing is something he normally refuses to do in his playthroughs. That's why you have parts in vids where he makes no progress at all(like some of his recent Dark Souls 2 vids)
Well, they tend to show why many people watch him, which is rage and such.
Yeah, that's true. In fact, if he would change his attitude, none of this would had happened!
Because of the pity factor. When he gets into these "emergencies" (99% of the time he exaggerates them or its just a miscommunication which is why this thread exists) his fans and his 3 lackeys of moneymaking come to the rescue and donate obscene amounts of money to him. People feel bad that's all. Why they feel bad about an unemployed 36 year old is beyond me.
Have you seen some of the top YouTubers over the years? There have been some slimy fucks far worse than DSP that have achieved great success. They just were crafty enough to see where the trends were going and capitalized on them. DSP isnt a closer. Hes a the guy who complains about the closers.
Oddly enough, I still struggle to decide who is worse: DSP or LowTierGod.
DSP gets really salty but LowTierGod rage quits matches a lot!
You don't?
The one and only DSP
There's awkward movement and poses in this GIF is really hilarious to me for some reason
Oh it's not even just the matches, the both of them have their own... feats in general.
Like, DSP may have jacked it on stream, but then again... LTG leaves gallon sized piss jugs around his house...

I miss John Rambo, hasn't been the same since Phil moved. Random question, is there anything that you believe Phil could do to fix his situation right now? It's really depressing seeing a man destroy himself like that, but at the same time he kind of brought it on himself. Arguably it's that move which caused most of DSP's troubles today. Before it he still had a thriving community around him. He should have embraced his reputation as someone who fails a lot in games and made people laugh along with him, he would be huge if he did.

Bahaha, they don't need any angles to make him look bad. He does all that on his own. And people have always gotten joy from watching douchebags get mocked. Welcome to earth.

Holy shit. Yeah no wonder she left his ass. I think I saw his one video where he introduced her to his fans and she seemed like a nice person, which in that case it certainly is his loss. Man what an idiot. Nobody in their right mind would do that.
You don't?

I remember being 10 years old and watching this man play red faction geurllia on YouTube before let's plays were a thing.

Yes, slimy fucks who don't play the victim card all day, every day. There's a reason he was first yet didn't make it. There are characteristics of his personality that would never allow it.

He never paid John and the other guy in that gif the money they deserved. He used the money he got from that to buy a new car.

According to Phil they broke up a month before and not because of the hospital video, make of that what you will.

I pity the dude. He has no one but his "fans" and they won't stick around for long. They'll grow up and move on and then he'll have no one. Hell, He truly doesn't have anyone now and it sadly looks like he's gonna be alone for the rest of his life.
Holy shit. He really seems to have it in for Chinese people in particular.

That's not entirely accurate. John said that he got paid because he yelled at DSP finally and Phil agreed to pay him. He never paid the others since they never asked.
Sounded more like a case of Phil living in his own world rather than him actively screwing anyone. (Still crappy tho.) That's the risk of assuming there is some kind of implicit contract.
Nope. Because Phil rarely takes accountability for himself. He's burned bridges and lost friends. Hell his girlfriend left him a couple of months ago right?
He was one of the first people on youtube to start what he did. He amassed a huge following because of that. Then he refused to change with the times. As Twitch started to blow up he just hunkered down more in the youtube loop. Him posting videos instead of jumping to streaming and making it there as well.
Then after the ship sailed he went to twitch. Most of his "fans" at the time didn't switch over. Then he stopped Twitch because he was getting trolled constantly.
Now it's just been a constant cycle of him doing literally everything possible to just get by.

He still bought a new car which was fucked up.
I'm sure that hospital video was the straw that broke the camels back for her to move out though.
I wouldn't be shocked if she just got tired of his shit. With as much he begs and complains about money on his vlogs. I can imagine he was giving her shit for "not pulling her weight." so to speak.
I watched that DSP documentary thing. Was DSP seriously really that big early on? I didn't hear about his until after his downfall, I think. I understand that he's getting hundreds of views on YouTube now instead of tens of thousands, and apparently he used to be on the front page, but I'm having trouble putting that in perspective. I'm also trying to understand the claim that he could have been something big if he played his cards right.
Glancing at Deceased Crab's views, it looks like he was getting around 10-30K per video ten years ago, maybe around half of what DSP got. And he was supposed to be one of the early influential YouTube Let's Players, right? He's collapsed to around 1-3K per video, which is still multiple times what DSP gets now, but it's a significant fall.
Then looking at Protonjon, who I think was the first or one of the first Let's Player to get monetized, and he was getting like 200K at that time. Now he's down to 30K-60K on his main channel with 75-100K on his second one. Much better than even DSP's early numbers, but still a decrease.
I know their current numbers won't point at what they were ten years ago, but I'm not sure where else to look. It seems to me like he would have taken a hit as more competition entered the scene anyway; the opportunity he missed was better weathering the storm and having a more stable career.

Yeah, most of his racism is directed at Asians from what I've seen. And it's not subtle stuff, he's full 1940's style racist when there's an Asian in a game. So he did a let's play for Sleeping Dogs. It is pretty fucked.
When I say he could have been better of had he played his cards right.
I mean he could have not been stubborn when Twitch was just starting out. The man flat our refused to stream for the longest time. Had he started on Twitch early on he could have possibly gotten himself a nice base.
But no he's at a point where he has to do both just to get by
That's really disgusting, holy shit.

The biggest downfall was he never went out of his way to improve himself and his tech. By the time 2010 hit most people had capture cards and were streaming direct capture of games. Phil didn't do that. He thought capture cards were not the "pure" way of recording a Let's Play. He fumbled his sponsorship with Machinima and because of his toxic attitude he can't get other sponsors or make healthy connections with anyone. The only way he can afford to buy games and keep up is by trading them in and selling figures and statues. The simple fact is that he can't hang with today's Let's Play community.
