Weak bait, but I'll bite. Phil's strategy during his prime only worked because there were not many options. Since he was one of the few putting out gameplay, everyone flocked to his channel. Phil never grasped how he got his audience and assumed it was because he was so funny and smart and good at gaming. His views dipped as better creators popped up adapted and improved the formula. Phil's response? Oh, they only do it for the money and want to milk all these children (seeing the irony yet)! Now he begs while pretending to be providing a service. Which is now, more often than not, eating food for his dents. Never accepting he let his channel, his golden goose die. He chose to suck on the teet until it was dry, and it's almost out.
