Really dragged ass on making this video. But, considering the subject matter, can you really blame me? This is among the topics of interest I was going to cover until my computer ran into some problems, so I’m catching up to where I feel like I need to be.
DarkSydePhil, of DSPGaming, has been an individual steeped in controversy but perhaps limited reach and influence these days. Still, enough people have noticed his presence and continued efforts in maintaining an audience and gaming. He’s been mocked, parodied, and derided countless times. While his perseverance would otherwise be admirable, his personality and demeanor leaves a lot to be desired. I personally felt disgusted by DSP and relegated him to the part of the web he resides and ignored him for years. I’d first found out about him through “Down the Rabbithole”, a documentary-esque style channel that touches on random topics of interest.
While I touched on him and his plight not too long ago with a video covering Twitch revoking Phils partnership with the platform without a stated cause or reason, he’s returned to the limelight more recently due to his incessant e-begging. He appears to be desperate, going so far as to encourage his fans to buy him the games that they want him to play, or even contributing to the construction of a gaming PC capable of playing modern titles that are in demand as far as live-streams go. He’s asked for additional contributions to play games that use copywritten music, and, various skeptics throughout the community are unconvinced at the seriousness of his situation and have poked fun at his lack of fiscal responsibility. Where does the truth lie? Well, his bank statements were leaked by a few people close to him or involved with him and his “business.” Goes without saying that it’s the least bit embarrassing, considering not only his age and how many years he’s been doing this.
What's the moral of the story? E-begging only gets you so far, unless your audience is truly numerous in number and will go above and beyond to enjoy you or your content. That money in contributions should be greatly appreciated and better managed rather than pissed away on frivolous spending. Phil at the end of the day just comes off as a bit greedy and entitled, without much to substantiate that.
Either way, hope you all enjoy the video!
