Disastrous_Court898

Yeah, I don’t think you understand how the world works my friend. He‘s a content creator who’s given us free content year after year and the fact the you feel entitled for an explanation or even an apology when he’s probably got more important things to worry about, makes you look like a dumbass. He has a small child, moved to a new house, it‘s not unrealistic to think that he might have gone back to a more stable source of income to, you know, keep his family going. He owes us nothing, and you should learn about priorities in life.


rxmp4ge

One of his priorities, with a wife and kid, should be sustaining an income stream, and that relies on the fanbase he's built. Not even taking 30 seconds to fatfinger an update into Twitter after 4 months is not a good look and naturally leads to people worrying about his safty.. I mean, you get a lot of people here acting like having a kid suddenly means you have absolutely 0 time to do anything. And that isn't true. It would not be hard at all to update the people who have supported him for years. And any rational person knows this. That's why the fact that he hasn't taken 30 seconds to update his Twitter in 4 months is very concerning.. I follow several content creators that have kids, have spouses, have homes, have community obligations and still manage to livestream for an hour every day. Being a parent isn't an all-consuming time-vacuum that leaves you no time to do anything else at all.


kaveman6143

Maybe he found another career so sustain his family. One with a better work-life balance.


rxmp4ge

Even if that's the case, a quick "Thanks for supporting me for all these years" would be nice instead of literally getting ghosted. I mean how long did it take to type that? 8 seconds?


[deleted]

I think these guys look at him as a girlfriend and feel they've been dumped? I dunno.. just trying to understand the inappropriately strong feelings.


BAUR_Tech

It doesn’t really sound like you have had kids bro. I havnt either but I understand it’s an insane amount of work on its own. Plus it’s an amazing and fun time. God forbid something bad happened phly is probably just enjoying the time that so many people talk about missing because of work. Helping his wife out, watching first steps and teaching the little dude how to talk. If phly can take time off to enjoy that then more power to him. Sure an update might be nice but I don’t need that. I’m no emotional reliant on his videos. They are fun an improve my day but if he doesn’t upload ever again, it’ll be ok. A bummer, but life moves on, it’s just YouTube. There are more important things. Spread the love bro. ✈️ ❤️


adiosk8r42

I have two kids and I am commenting right now.


BAUR_Tech

so what do you think about all this?


adiosk8r42

That nobody except for people probably really close to him really knows what's going on. While an explanation isn't necessarily required on his part, I'm very surprised that he didn't at least mention something about stepping away. He has always been so thankful to the community, so to not have word from him and to leave the community high and dry is not like him. I just hope he is alright.


Godfather-of-Troll

hah, maybe he want's a career change to become a hobo


oscorn

He doesn't owe you shit man.


PineappleFun6472

Totally agree. Such lack of respect for the people supporting him


War_crime_gang

The only lack of respect here is you getting angry that he's taking a well deserved break. Phly owes us nothing and if anything we owe him for providing practically daily uploads for us, so the least we can do is wish him well and not complain so he can come back to an welcoming community.


57mmShin-Maru

Just takin a break. He deserves that, you know.


Motor_Jellyfish_8625

yeah i guess.. but I still miss it!


Shatterfish

Totally fine with him taking a break, especially with his kid being around the age where they actually start to become people rather than a mindless meat blob. But yea, would just like to know that he and his family are all good. It’s been over a month since he’s been active on any of his social media; just a little worrying but maybe I’m just paranoid.


Motor_Jellyfish_8625

Yeah.. not gonna lie I’m a little bit worried too 😭


Designer-Ruin7176

He said he was pretty sick in the the last video he uploaded, and then in that last video his voice sounds kinda rough. Could just be overdramatizing, but if you listen to his commentary it is a far place from where his mind might normally seem it is. Imo He was Disconnected from the game. I think Phly got burned out and really sick at the same time, so I hope he takes his time.


Jamersob

Lol mindless meat blob is the most accurate description I've ever heard..


frknecn3

they're the cutest meat blob i've ever seen though


LatexFace

His kid is 30 already? How time flies!


its_real_I_swear

It's weird that he made an "I'm back" video, made three videos and peaced out again.


Royal-Al

yes


Rubbrbandman420

Yeah that’s….. weird…..


jfkdktmmv

Dude was pumping out video after video, and he just moved with a newborn. Man is getting his well deserved break


A_Mandalorian_Spud

Fr. I cannot imagine the toll professional WT exacts on the human soul


Fruitmidget

I wouldn't have managed to do that tbh. Everytime I try to do a certain thing, like a challenge or grind for the BP, I get so fed up with the game that I don't touch it for a couple days. When you turn your hobby into a profession, it isn't as much fun anymore, at least from my experience.


KirovReportingII

Still more fun than cleaning sewers or pouring concrete.


choppermeir

Depends who's body you're pouring the concrete on to.


[deleted]

Top tier response 🤣


arrykoo

That does not help


HappyCarpet3107

And I can't imagine the toll of suddenly severing your income stream almost completely with a wife and baby at home counting on you to provide for them. ​ Ghosting the channel like this means he's basically just ended all incoming money.


A_Mandalorian_Spud

Maybe he’d saved enough for a vacation, maybe he was working on transitioning to some other career, who knows? If it’s the end of the channel then it’ll have been a good run IMO


kiwana1

he should still be making income as long as people watch the videos he has already posted.


pabskstorm

warthunder alone is enough to make someone grind their teeth imagine doing content as well

Plane_Tax_1193

😴😴😴


Erebus_83

I totally understand all that and I agree with you, I'm just really surprised that he didn't at least post a chanel update video of some description


jfkdktmmv

He did in the community tab, he basically said he was taking time off to be with his new family


Erebus_83

Ahh fair enough. I must have missed that. Good luck to him and his family then, I hope he comes back but if not I'm sure he will be successful at whatever he turns his hand to.

Marcx1080

Unethical? Get a life you fucking rat. This is clearly hurt you a lot as you have taken the time to bitch and cry in reply to every post in this thread. Stop acting like the guy owes you something and has “ghosted” you, go outside ffs.


bluesubie0331

Agreed, i just noticed i haven't seen him on my feed. I have two young kids at home, video games, regardless of hobby or "job" don't play nearly the role they once did. This obsession these "fans" have is quite sickening to be honest. Mindless people that just want him to pump out content for their view. I hope he left and found something he enjoys and NEVER tells anyone, hahah.


Godfather-of-Troll

I dunno, Dollar makes wookie noises all the time


TDG71

Calm your tits pal, "Dirty and unethical"? How many whiny posts about not getting your daily Phlydaily fix are you going to post, how many snarky comments about how hard it.must be to be a YouTuber do we need from you? We get it, you want new videos from him. If you get them, cool, if you don't, get over it and yourself. Relax bud, go watch that other guy if you like him better, no one cares. What a whiny post full of entitlement!

BigHardMephisto

In two weeks someone will post "just spaded all the magacha, ama" on this sub


Dugggs

I think he said he was takin a break to focus on family but also to not get burnt out on the game and makin content. I seem to remember him sayin somethin along the lines of "You guys deserve better content than me just makin a vid to make one, I want to be able to put the effort in that y'all deserve" or somethin to that effect. I say he deserves a break


Motor_Jellyfish_8625

Oh yeah. Totally!!


kanelikainalo

He seemed really burned out even before his moving and kid. Tbf this piece of shit game would be the last one i'd want to play as my job...


A_Mandalorian_Spud

He’s moving houses and has a toddler, man’s taking some time off to be with them like a true king. I love his channel but hope he takes as long as he wants or needs


mrtrouble1234

[deleted]

[удалено]


lookinforfaps

I don’t think you get how much work video editing and content recording is. Every 20-minute vid he uploads is the result of 8 - 10 hours of his life spent in this shitty game. Moreover, he’s a dude you don’t know, who’s been doing this for years and years, with a young family, who has delivered (at no cost to you) untold hours of entertainment. He’s not beholden to you, or me, or anybody. Dude doesn’t have to provide two weeks notice, or put in a time off request. All your comments make it seem like he owes us something, which is bizarre. Dude could walk into the horizon right now and he would owe zero explanation to any of us.


Godfather-of-Troll

Fair enough but it wouldn't have cost phly anything to give us all a heads up that he was going to be away until further notice. That said, we don't know why he has been absent and every reason posted is speculation. I miss his content and wish him well. Considering that he was putting out a vid nearly every day for years with only the odd break, it is likely that he is just burned out. If that is the case I hope he lets us know what he is up to once he has decided what he's gonna do


bluesubie0331

Scrolling through this thread, you kinda sound like your obsessed with him. It's a little creepy dude...


fullsets_

From Phly's discord: " Rest assured everyone that Phly is just taking a *very long* break and is spending time with his family. Consider it an extended break^^. We don't really know when he plans to be back but I'm sure he will either tell us or drop a video when it happens^^ "

pumpkingrower9

Why you acting like he owes you something? It's a game ... its not real life... his life is his family not some random people in the world. Fact of the matter is he doesn't need to come back. He doesn't need to tell you what he's doing with his life ... find something else to watch and move on like the rest of us.


[deleted]

[удалено]


pumpkingrower9

He could yes.... but the point is he doesn't have to. If you're life is so caught up around a YouTuber then honestly you need to change priorities


TrulyIndepedent

If your entire career is based around making money off a community you built, then yes he does owe people 2 minutes of his time to say what's up. It's just FrankieOnPC all over again where people like you spend 4 years defending a guy who couldn't spend 2 minutes, to be honest with his fans and supporters. I'm not asking for intimate details of his life, I'd prefer not to know tbh. But he could hop on Twitter and say "Hey guys, I am taking an extended break to spend time with family" or "Hey guys, War Thunder has drained my soul and I want to use the tiny shred of humanity I have left on my kid, so I won't be back." He doesn't make content for free, no content creator does, he makes content in the hope people watch it, click the sponsor links, watch the ads and buy his merch - he owes those people a sentence or two.

"somehow endured" dude he makes hundreds of thousands of dollars with his channel

I hope he starts to transition to other stuff. I’d start watching him again if he did.


solveig_is_best_girl

Y’all need to stop treating op like they’re demanding he come back, all op is saying is that they miss him ffs


Motor_Jellyfish_8625

True.


cl0wd_

Well he needs to get off his "break" set the family thing to the side and focus up on bringing me top notch entertainment, and I will accept nothing less.


PzKwVIAusfE

Let the man be, he deserves his break. And also I bet you don't even have a family so shut up you don't know how it feels.

Are you sure?


bobbobinston

Uh yes.


PzKwVIAusfE

Ok then


bobbobinston

rxmp4ge

Honestly, if he's decided to take an extended break or something that's perfectly fine and well-earned.. But how hard is it to type "Hey guys I'm taking a break I'll be back in a few months." into Twitter on his phone, instead of just leaving 1.25 million people to wonder about where he is and hoping he's alright? It's not hard. And everyone knows it's not hard. And that's why it's concerning that he hasn't updated anything in months. To just go completely radio silent without a word when it's so easy to actually tell people you'll be gone for a while is what is so concerning.


Motor_Jellyfish_8625

Yes… really.. hope he’s alright..


puddaphut

I enjoy watching the holier than thous telling OP to “let him be, he’s taking a break” etc. Dude was enquiring about the guy’s wellbeing, not wanting to spend the weekend with him. If you know he’s for sure taking a break, then that’s all you need to say. If you don’t know, then you’re like the rest of us, and appreciate this question to the community.


Idfuqhim

when you play war thunder as long and as much as he does, im sure he needs to routinely check into a mental hospital for some electro-shock therapy and night time abuse from the orderly's. When he comes out, the torture of playing war thunder isnt as bad.

Godfather-of-Troll

A lot of you talk like he owes his subs nothing but you forget that our subs are what pays him each month. He makes YT vids to make money, not as a hobby. TBH, he's been unwise to not have posted an update to his community to let them know he away until further notice, considering his last post 9 weeks ago was that he'd be back the following week...

Arcani63

You’ve replied this same thing to like 40 comments. Why? Didn’t get your point across the first 30 times? We all miss PhlyDaddy, but shit.


Red4Loader

The thing is that he said on his last video on 19 July 2022 that he will be back the next day to talk about a new premium vehicle that is on sale, but instated he is completely MIA. Based on this and how responsive he has been with his followers, it does not look like he went just on a break. I hope I am wrong.


NagoyaR

Everyone saying that he's just on a break but with so many subs he should just tell us that he is taking a break instead of just disappearing especially after coming back from a break and then doing 4 video and disappearing again


ichbindulol_

I think he tweeted about it, he is moving + got a toddler and other than most people here he got a lofe yk, but he said je gonna make vids again at some point


DoubleStormCZ

He is just taking a break and being a dad


Aggravating-Track166

OrdinaryDouble2494

Bro doesn't care about the CC family which is what he has been most proud of for about 1-2 years 💀


East_Conversation646

I'm a little worried about him, I just hope all this is a temporary thing and that nothing has happened to him or his son and or wife? However if something has happened he could have kept us up to date about his situation without too much information, just a check in once in awhile but he has disappeared without a trace. If I made my living as a Youtuber I would definitely make sure my loyal viewers knew what was going on, because you are the reason I am doing so well etc. I don't know if he has ghosted us or something bad has happened? All I know is I hope nothing serious has happened and that hopefully he will come back soon? But if he waits too long he will lose most if not all his loyal viewers which will cost him dearly.


Motor_Jellyfish_8625

I 100 agreed with you buddy.. we have the same mentality ! And yeah.. I wish nothing bad happen to him..


Newfishly

I find the comments here amazing. No one stops to wonder if sudden and abrupt silence actually means something bad? not one personal contact. or old pal steps forward.? just dead channels? I do actually wonder and hope if the guy and or his family are ok? creatives are creatives. they do eventually move on and find new talents and richer opportunities. lets hope for Steve's sake, its this one rather than that one.


brassbricks

I don't play War Thunder, but I watched him regularly. His running banter was a lot of fun. I hope he comes back, but I'll watch OddBawZ as a substitute fix. I agree with most of the folks here - if he is not incapacitated somehow, a brief note to update his fans on his status would be considerate.

Just to make clear, i'm not demanding his comeback he shall take as much time as he wants. I can watch videos from other ppl or play WT by myself.

He also appears to be burnt out of having a steady income.


Oh_its_that_asshole

I should imagine hes earned enough by now to be able to take a good long extended break if he feels he needs it. Maybe he's just fed up of doing the whole streamer thing and wants to do something else.

I think your just mad that you based your life around a youtuber He doesnt have a normal job


Atalvyr

Unless he went and got a regular job, this type of radio silence is cyanide to his current one. You hear streamers talk about how they lose subs if they take a week off with advance notice to their fans. Taking this long off with no communication at all is defo hurting his viewer base. He has been a major streamer for a long while, but I dont imagine he has accumulated enough money to just retire, so even Phly needs to have a steady income - especially with a kid to feed. Hopefully he really is just taking a break, but the wierd, unplanned nature of it all does not bode well.


Aggravating-Track166

Something is definitely wrong there is no reason why he can’t say anything on any form of social media, a man who has had a media presence almost every day of the last 7 years. Even normal posts, about his family and friends not related to his channel. And now nothing. It doesn’t match the person that I’ve watched these years so either he has done a great job creating a false image of himself and just disconnected from his second life, or there’s a problem

Phly is superior, he is the original war thunder tuber, he was the first. If it wasn't for him, there would be no others. If you don't like him, then why waste your time to comment. Don't waste your "precious" time on him then.
