To give some credit, he did say that it's his fault -

Sorry, I don't have a time stamp

It's pretty rare for him to admit something like that, especially without immediately trying to blame the trolls. And while I can't help but think that he's just looking for sympathy (and money), it's still a better look for him than usual.

The thing that annoyed me was something he said before that. He says views have been up and people have been very generous, yet his financial situation is somehow still getting worse and is apparently months away from getting better. Then he says he's been trying to do things to fix it, that one thing being making the wishlist. So his solution is, of course, more begging. Fans have been generous, so Phil is going to help himself by asking the fans to give even more. It's never about producing more or better content, or changing things to try to attract new viewers. The answer is always that his fans have to give him more money.

I read this on the farms, but I am really inclined to agree with it, so I'll word it as good as I can.

I believe that Phil believes he is poor. When you go to the store to buy some patties for your sliders, most people will buy them for a couple of bucks. Phil shops as Schwan's and a slider costs roughly 8 bucks a pop. But knowing Phil, he probably shopped somewhere where they cost 12 bucks a pop. So in Phil's mind he is already doing what he can to save money.

Take someone who clears 6 figures a year, and lives like it. Then through whatever means they have to downsize. They make half of what they used to make, but if you don't adjust your expenses, then you won't have much money left at the end of your income, and then you are indeed poor. If you adjust your expenses, and start buying "cheaper" products, then you'll have a lot more money left at the end of your monthly income.

This is what Phil refuses to do, he is making less money (and yes, I get how that sucks), but if you refuse to adapt to your situation, then yes, you'll be "poor". Bear in mind 8 dollars per patty, is fucking expensive, and we know that Phil has 2 mortgages , 2 internet lines, etc. So who fucking knows how much more he spends than he actually needs.

And if you keep repeating the same (lie) over and over and over, without letting anyone challenge you and banning/blocking anyone who tells you differently, then you'll start believe that lie. Phil lives completely in his own bubble, his own world. This is why he bans anyone who challenges his narrative and why is deathly afraid to do podcasts, interviews and what not. Because you can bet your ass people will call him out.

So yes, in Phil's mind, he is undoubtedly poor, but that is because he refuses to adjust his expenses to his income.
