That made me sad. Sourcefed should have stayed while PDS should have been cancelled.littlegarose wrote:What is SF?

I'm not defending Phil here but I think he said people want an alternative source of news that isn't biased as Fox or CNN and supposedly he's it...squirtlessquad wrote:Agreed! I never understood why he calls himself the “news”. He has researchers for his stories, cool. The thing with that though is that they’re already reading, or watching, other people’s stuff. Say what you want about TYT, but they actually send their people out to where the action is happening. One of their reporters and camera guy was arrested trying to cover a story.mashu wrote:I don't understand the concept behind requesting the news. If people are requesting the news, shouldn't they have already read it? What's the point of hearing it again in a video format? lol
Phil’s crew sits around eating junk food and dicking around to push out a lazy show every day. Seriously, what do they do all day that warrants so many people to work there.

Good for TYT for sending people places but I can't stand Cenk, he's annoying... if I had to choose between watching the news with Phil or Cenk I would pick Phil although let's be real... both are just regurgitating things actual news sources have already widely reported on so neither are putting out breaking news or covering them in an original way with never seen before points of view.

The elite funds are probably just going into his pocket to keep up his lifestyle. Especially since his wife doesn't do jack shit to bring in funds.

I find his bullying disturbing. Whenever someone says something he doesn't like, he tries to ruin said person's life. Wth?

Re: Phil Defranco (reporter & organizer extraordinaire) -pa
I always found that really disturbing as well - even moreso because 99% of the time he puts on this "good guy" face and goes "Do you agree, do you disgaree? I'd LOVE to hear your opinions, I think discussion is very important!" and "FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH" and "PC CENSORSHIP IS THE WORST" but then he turns around and starts quite aggressively attacking people on Twitter simply for disagreeing with him. I mean these are not even death threats, these are people who just have negative opinions on him or feel his opinions are incorrect. Young people, too, mostly. And even though he's been asked to do so, he refuses to address the fact that he's done that many times on YouTube... because he takes advantage of the fact that generally the more serious audience who validate the seriousness of his YT content don't really use or read Twitter. Be one or the other... but don't be such a sneaky, two-faced little shitface. Own that you have a fragile ego and stop acting like your shit don't stink. For every time he's said "the left is trying to censor conversation with PCness" he has lashed out in a very personal way at someone on social media or reddit for disagreeing with him.ughthisagain wrote:I find his bullying disturbing.

Re: Phil Defranco (reporter & organizer extraordinaire) -pa
He is such an aggressive guy in general. Not only the harassment and bullying y'all mentioned, but the fact that when he blatantly fucks up, he blames it on everyone but himself. In his eyes he is perfection personified.

Has anyone noticed that a lot of the "recommended videos" alongside the PDS are super right wing channels? Anti-liberal type shit, like Steven Crowder. Hm...............

Re: Phil Defranco (reporter & organizer extraordinaire) -pa
I straight up never watch conspiracy garbage, right wing or right leaning media on YT. Or Twitter. I just don't make it a habit to look at shit that makes me angry lol. And these days I don't watch much of Phil's videos. Mostly the vlogs and I skip around the PDS but anyway..12thplace wrote:Has anyone noticed that a lot of the "recommended videos" alongside the PDS are super right wing channels?

Do you guys get a bunch of right wing ads and recommendations from his videos too? Like I've gotten some anti climate change, anti liberal advertising and it is... Well unpleasant.
I mean he bounces between and sometimes I truly question where he stands on certain things but I don't think I would throw him into the depths of the right wing.
Re: Phil Defranco (reporter & organizer extraordinaire) -pa
I'm Irish and I live abroad (for work) so the whole right wing/left wing American politics type deal is really not something I'm 100% caught up with. I mean, the entire world is aware of your political situation with that clown in chief of yours but for the most part the inner war between left and right is something that would be of most interest to actual Americans or internationals with financial interests.
Phil does come off as someone who would have some weird political leanings and beliefs though, just from snippets of his own mind he lets slip here and there. Of course he's dying to come off as righteous and enlightened but I don't buy it.
I'm still waiting for the life-changing new format he was going to make happen with the money he got from Patreon though

When Phil uses a Parkland student's (high school student, possibly a minor) picture as the "pretty face" clickbait in today's thumbnail...

Watched his interview/podcast thing with Sean Evans. I have a lot of comments but the thing that has been bothering me the most is his stuttering. Is it just me or is OTT excessive lately? It sounds so intentional. He never stuttered like this before.

The Internet Historian has also been mentioning him. I wouldn't say it's straight-out praise but sounds more like banter/passive-aggressive remarks here and there.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
I DESPISE Phil so much!
I'm subscribed to First We Feast and just saw The Hot Ones thumbnail with Phil in it. It infuriates me SO MUCH!
First it was Casey Neistat--Phil kissing his ass, traveling to NYC to do a special profile video on him then mentioning him all the time. Now there's a new YouTube "golden boy", Sean Evans, and Phil just has to get in there, pucker up, and kiss his ass too. It's one thing if Phil wants to be buddies with content creators he admires, but he just has to worm his way into their content to steal some of the spotlight and bring attention to himself.
I'm sure Phil is sad that he probably won't be doing any "news" stories on Sean Evans or finding a reason to use Sean in one his thumbnails.
For fuck sake. There has been some really talented, respected actors on Hot Ones. And now there's Phil. Talk about not belonging.

Re: Phil Defranco (reporter & organizer extraordinaire) -pa
So true! I got a weird vibe between Sean and Phil. Phil is so over-the-top excited and kissing Sean's ass, and Sean just seems like he's thinking "wtf dude chill out". If Phil wasn't trying to worm his way in, he would have had way more podcasts with people who aren't on Sean and Casey's levels, but in the last year and a half, he only interviewed them both. It says a lot about Phil. How about giving exposure to people who need it? Don't get me wrong, I actually really like Sean Evans, but Phil is such a kiss ass. Sucking up to Casey, Sean, Joe Rogan and the like. He thinks he's way bigger than he actually is.Presence wrote:FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

He looks like he's having a damn stroke in the thumbnail of the Hot Ones video.

Watching the vlogs makes me so angry. All they ever do is test things. It's coming up to a year since he launched his Patreon and literally nothing changed.
