James Charles though does not make beauty videos exclusively
He does random ones like Phil. I do hope that their views are high enough at least in the UK. James is from the USA so I think that maybe he has more exposure?
MollyMae makes much lower views that James Charles, but I'd say she is popular too?
Basically I would just like to understand whether they have enough views for their Youtube careers to still be profitable, especially for Phil, since we don't know much about Dan yet. All of the rejections Phil has received must have been sad! He does deserve his projects to work!
Also, is dairiqueen here? I laughed so much with that "Do I want to know?"
QueenAnd thank you for the tip about the bedrooms

James Charles is definitely a beauty guru. He might be a beauty guru that occasionally makes different kinds of videos, but he gained his fame for beauty, his sponsorships have to do with beauty and fashion, he has makeup products out, etc.Levitating wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:36 pmJames Charles though does not make beauty videos exclusively

Phil's views are very stable, and yes very profitable for him. Dan's views are probably still profitable even without putting out new content. If you want to compare Phil to some of his contemporaries check out Zoe and Alfie, or Louise. Or even Joe and Caspar (or, Joe, Caspar hasn't posted in a year) because at a point Joe and Caspar also were British white boys with a shipping fanbase that lived together in London, and Phil does far better than either of them these days. Connor Franta is an American youtuber that was in a popular gay relationship and still does do youtube regularly and his videos frequently don't crack a hundred thousand. I think other genres just surged into prominence on youtube (beauty, gaming) and the normal funny sit down and talk to the camera type of videos no longer all the rage, but that doesn't mean there isn't still an audience for them or value to be found in that audience. Dan and Phil particularly have always had an edge in that they don't just have an audience they have a fandom and fandoms are usually ready to commit with both their hearts and their wallets. There's a reason Youtube still wants to work with Dan.
Seconding everything dizzy said. They're probably not making as much as they were a few years ago, but with ads from old videos (and new, in Phil's case), sponsorships and merch money coming in they should still be doing quite well.

Timestamps from yesterday's liveshow!
:15 - Starting with unhinged giggles. They're in separate rooms.
:29 - Dan calls Phil out for calling him in situations where he needs to pretend to be on the phone to someone else or if they're out of milk or something.
1:00 - Phil says they've 'never done that ever' about having a three hour long phone chat (2009 is calling you a liar, bub) (though he does say they text) and Dan's response is 'maybe we should start' which is the first of my unexpected minor heart attacks during this re-listen.
1:35 - They're having this afterparty to celebrate the Stereo shows and also to play all the games they didn't fit into the previous one.
1:53 - The first game is 'Good Advice, Bad Advice.'
2:12 - The first audio message thanks them for 'all the content.' Dan's responds with, "You're thanking me for forty minutes of content? That is how badly I've treated this, you know, audience. Jesus." while Phil gets a bit defensive of Dan and talks about all the content Dan is 'squirreling away.' That makes me wonder how many times Dan has had guilt spirals and Phil has reminded him that he is working on things?
3:22 - Another audio message thanking them. Phil starts talking about the previous video, calling it a mukbang without the food. Dan does some mouth sounds ASMR. They also wish people happy knew year, wrongly, in other languages.
4:40 - They talk about New Year and also politics. They wish they had a competent leader. Phil wants to move to New Zealand.
5:05 - "We love an indoor firework at the Dan and Phil house." Indoor fireworks are not safe to use indoors.
5:21 - "Did they lie? Did they lie?" and both of them crack up, leaving me confused. Their level of one-brain-cell clearly magnified during lockdown. Dan explains that it's a meme that Phil just discovered.
5:52 - "You are a Boomer, Phil."
6:30 - Dan baits Phil into acknowledging that Dan is more important/Phil loves Dan more than the other people that were on Phil and Phriends.
7:08 - First advice question is someone asking if they should dye their hair or not because they work retail. Phil makes Dan give bad advice.
9:05 - Second advice question is about keeping motivated to make videos.
9:52 - Audio blips out, clearly on their end since when it comes back Phil is trying to make Dan repeat his answer. Dan does so, unenthusiastically.
11:15 - Third advice question is about working out more when they don't want to work out. Dan's bad advice is to care about pounds and what people think about you which he shouts is the WORST advice.
12:12 -
Phil: Do it with a friend, as well.
Dan: Do it with a friend. That's good workout advice.
12:55 - Last advice question: person doesn't know if they should order pizza or not. This ends with Dan and Phil deciding to order pizza, because they didn't eat before the liveshow.
13:44 - This starts the weird portion where Phil explains that you can test sweet and sour flavors with parts of your body besides your tongue - including foot and testicles. Dan abruptly moves on and continues to give advice.
15:22 - Phil sets up the next game (Bucket of Doom) but first he has something he wants to say.
15:50 - Phil reprimandingly saying, "Dan." just bc it's cute. Dan is particularly unhinged.
16:03 - Phil gets to what he wanted to talk about: blonde Dan. Phil thinks Dan looks good with blonde hair and he wants to talk about it. Dan argues that it wasn't a hot photo of himself because he was in his pajamas and Phil argues that it's the best way to test something like that.
17:36 - Phil gives Dan a Bucket of Doom scenario about falling into the biggest bucket of bees in the world, and the Queen wants to make Dan her king bee.
19:14 - Dan gives Phil a scenario that involves him being naked and also the dark academia outfit that Dan liked so much. The only relevant response they get is that someone says dildo.
20:00 - Shoutout to the 'dil-doll' reference from tour. Dan thinks this is their private phone call.
20:25 - Phil leaves the dildo on the changing room floor, stating that he 'doesn't need it.' Dan's response: "Whoa." I also had to listen to this part a million times but.... it was worth it.
Phil: I don't need [the dildo]. Especially when it comes into...
Dan: Whoa.
Phil: -when it's joined up with an otter.
Dan: Who's coming into what?
21:25 - Next scenario: Dan is in a wrestling ring and has to fight the world champion Dr. Pain. This involves a lot of Dan's nipples.
23:11 - Phil's next one for Dan involves him being on tour in TATINOF. Florida, 2016, he's about to fall off the stage (which really happened) and someone throws him two items. One of those is Dan. Phil removes Dan from the scenario and Dan is offended. Phil fails. Dan wins the game (and apologizes for it being filthy.
25:26 - Next game: Would You Rather.
25:54 - Dan's first one for Phil.
D:Would you rather have your tragic 2007 hair for a decade, or the NordVPN logo tattooed on your head for a year?
P: The hair- Dan- the hair! I mean. It's a great VPN. The hair- the hair is too- I can't have that hair for another ten years. I can't do it.
27:08 - First would you rather from a listener: become Mario or become Link? Dan chooses Link because Mario eternally does not have the girlfriend, he's simping for Peach and she's not that into it. Mario is lonely - you've got your bro but the mushroom Kingdom is horrifying. Whereas Link is more stressful but Zelda is cooler than Peach, Peach terrifies Dan. Link also gets to explore and mess around.
28:42 - Next listener WYR goes dark: Would you rather have to pull out your own tongue or carve out your own eyeball? Phil likes talking and has two eyes so he'd go with an eye. Dan points out that Phil implied you can taste with your testicles earlier, which sends them on a tangent about whether or not ASAPScience did the video or if he dreamt it. (Dan would keep his eyes.)
29:39 - Dan: Do Greg and Mitch have an OnlyFans?
29:58 - Phil asks Dan if he'd rather get a full back tattoo of all of the reindeer, or scream when he hears the word Christmas. Dan points out he already screams but says he'd get the tattoo. Devolves into pronunciation of the word tattoo and also if Dan would ever get a tattoo (no).
31:08 - WYR whisk Tyler Oakley or watch porn with Donald Trump. Dan picks Tyler; Phil has clearly forgotten the reference.
32:03 - WYR die young and be remembered forever, or live a long fulfilling life but he forgotten in the sands of time. They both cackle at the phrasing, but Dan says not to glorify dying young in a blaze of glory or caring what people think. "Don't give a shit, man. Don't give a damn. Nobody cares." and so on and so forth in a Dan like way.
32:49 - Phil says you need to be fulfilled and that's what is important. Dan goes very quiet and Phil waits for him to talk. Dan laughs and says he was, "Letting you go off with your answer." then suggests they 'close the phone lines' which Phil says have been 'spicy today.'
33:40 - Final game: Phil in the Blanks. Dan argues that it isn't a game, it's just talking about stuff, but Phil doesn't stand for Dan insulting his game.
34:04 - Dan sings: "And the word is not allowed to be dildo." Brief pause where Phil is doing something and blames it on his phone going weird.
34:36 - Phil starts them off with the word "snow" and they talk about how it snowed the other day and London being filthy.
35:49 - They sing... something? together.
35:51 - Phil tells a story about him and his friend Steven-not-Ben in the snow when they were younger.
36:58 - Next topic: bathrooms. They talk about bath vs shower and enjoying baths.
38:16 - Next topic: Japan. They wax poetic about the Japhan trips. "Everything about our two Japan trips were amazing." They're scared to go back now because they had the best holiday, they don't want to ruin the sanctity of the memory. Dan had the same experience with the film Interstellar, he cried for ten minutes after it ended. Phil argues that it wouldn't be the same because if they went back to Japan they'd go to different places.
39:58 - Next topic: Eurovision. They miss it.
41:19 - Phil talks about hosting Eurovision parties.
41:30 - Stamping for the iconic line: "We are gay, but we're not that gay."
41:47 - Next topic: Asparagus. Dan used to hate it, at some point he decided it was great and he loves it. Phil likes it but not the girthy ones. Dan says "thick stem" in a Voice.
42:27 - Dan: "Phil likes his guys to not be a dump truck in the back." Phil: "Stop it."
42:39 - Weekly pee mention from Phil. Dan hasn't experienced it, Phil tells him it's genetic.
43:04 - Next topic: recent paranormal events. Phil talks about the curtain pole.
44:10 - Phil tells Dan not to go 'all Scully' on him because they need to be two Mulders.
44:24 - Next topic: American vs British English. Dan says Americans have made english be more accurate for how it is spoken.
45:39 - Phil lets Dan pick the final topic: the meaning of life. Phil's answer: "The meaning of life... be happy. Make other people happy. Spread happiness."
47:20 - Dan liveshow-esque sign off. ("And now we're gonna order a pizzaaaaa, bye."
:15 - Starting with unhinged giggles. They're in separate rooms.
:29 - Dan calls Phil out for calling him in situations where he needs to pretend to be on the phone to someone else or if they're out of milk or something.

This makes me sad. Specially since Phil's videos of 2020 were great! I loved them. I understand that some people don't enjoy Phil's content because it's very different from Dan's but it still pisses me off that the fricking gap is there and it's so visible.
I don't know if this will count for much but Megancita's comment made me think about potential views for AP coming from YT's social media (like maybe someone expecting something from their favorite creators and running into this...?Megancita75 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 4:58 pm I was looking at the comments on the video and saw that the official YouTube account posted this: "Dan + Phil = already making 2021 SO much better"
I'm really intrigued by this whole seemingly very official and formal collaboration happening with Dan and YT.
IDK fingers crossed.
Dizzy's quote reminded me of something I saw on the last thread that made me think of something: I remember seeing people saying -not necessarily here; generally on social- that dnp had so much "free" time between in certain periods of time because a lot of other youtubers upload content daily and they don't. it takes them this amount of time and it's probably easy to live like that and blah blah, you get the gist. And if we think about it, how many projects did they do simultaneously while doing other things? TABINOF, Truth Bombs, II?, the pitching of all the gameshows and travelling show, home renovating show, THE HOME THEY SPENT 3 YEARS DESIGNING, Dan's other 2 projects... It's amazing how many things can be happening in a "public figure" 's life without their audience finding out. Phil's headaches make a lot more sense now that we know 2018 had them doing the liveshows, II, the home renovation, the editing of II.... Wow.alittledizzy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 4:09 pm I also keep thinking about how Dan did probably mean to be back on youtube by now and how much covid fucked up in that regard. He basically said it in the show: the book was supposed to be the last thing he did, but now that he has two more projects on hold, he'll stop and take a break and think what next after those. So presumably in his original timeline that taking a breath, deciding what next, etc would have been happening around May-June of this year.
Also, what would 2020 have even looked in (phandom wise) if we had gotten those two Dan solo projects? I find it almost impossible to even imagine.
About the bathroom thing, I think if you've lived together with your best friend/soulmate/partner in crime for 10 years in 3 different apartments in the most formative years of your life (ish), specially being both introverts, you have to find a balance. And their relationship points to be really healthy so it makes sense that they have their own separate spaces for some things. Like, maybe somewhere along the way Dan got anxious when Phil left his towel on the floor and all the caps of the shampoos/shower gels opened (we know Phil) and Phil couldn't be bothered to not do that and they decided that having a bathroom each was more comfortable.
I mean, my sister just moved out of my house and the peace that it brought me not to respect our former sharing-a-bathroom rules. I am literally less anxious.
"I still remember... the first day I met you."

Went to make dinner earlier and came back to Phil posting a selfie of him and Dan?? What is this year. I mean it’s not a new one but frankly it’s still astounding.

Okay because timestamps are my favorite thing, especially when other people do them...
Oh god yes. It's one of those things that feels like a classic thing to me, and I wonder if it does to them too? Or if this kind of just felt like jumping back into something with barely a pause for them? To us it's been two years of waiting, for them it's been two years packed with Busy Life Things and projects and that sort of stuff can make time fly, you know?
Yes! I noticed that too! I think there was far more editing that went into it, which gives me the impression that Phil really did want it to seem like a proper video and not just a stereo that they filmed. I wonder if that was also the reasoning for them not even trying to be in different rooms? I mean, an announcement of moving and buying a house would have been so weird done like the other stereos were set up.inanerat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 3:06- Phil put up the smiley pic of Dan with his long hair? Honestly still such a good picture, thanks Phil.
Also, even just the change to picture for a few seconds had an added 'wow' sound effect. I see why this video took a while to get to us, there is a lot of small edits
Oh my god yes. Boy is SO PROUD. Give him praise for his mastery of all things Phil. He demands it.
Thank you for noting all the things cut out - I was super curious about that but didn't do any comparing myself.
I love that it was in Manchester. I love that the story was so long ago and it definitely explains some of Phil's momentary confusion and WTF. Also that it was an 'emo looking' guy makes way more sense if it was during Dan and Phil's own emo looking phase, lmao.
If that was taken this summer then it is genuinely INSANE that they bought in 2017 and as of this summer it was still that unfinished?? I know construction delays are inevitable but two years to even get to that seems so excessive, especially assuming the outside was already done (since he said they couldn't change it).inanerat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 10:12- Pic of Phil at the house!! Something about actually seeing this picture really hit me like,, fuck. It's real. It's happening.
Also pic analysis: looks like they're going to have some swank floating stairs, and I wonder when this was taken? Seems like summer. Interesting to see where it was at, seems like walls in but no trim or flooring or anything.
I remember watching the liveshow where Dan talked about them playing dnd and how they'd just started so hearing the retrospective details (that their characters were gay, that they couldn't take it seriously, that they got kicked out) is like getting a new bloopers reel for an old favorite show.
Good to know that some things never change, like Dan's body shape refusing to support the natural waistline of anything he wears on his lower half. (Flashback to those two times where you could literally see his asscrack.)
Oh my god YES that little circle cracked me up. Phil, I love you.
YES. The punching thing! Completely reaffirms to me that Phil does that to Dan at least five times a day and somehow Dan still finds it adorable and not annoying as heck.
I think the picture did genuinely look pretty good - I mean, I'm not itching for him to dye his hair blonde, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I also love that we have these little snapshots of how their Christmas went. I'm sure not remotely what they would have wanted it to be, but... damn, man. Them in their little home celebrating and we know the gifts they gave. It's a world away from how shut out we were last year. We wouldn't have even known Dan was on Isle of Man with Phil except for this video messages being done in a different place.inanerat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm28:48- Blonde filter Dan pic?! (From Christmas btw, same outfit, same drink) Honestly I was not a big fan of the idea but seeing the picture it doesn't look bad. With that outfit and the hair he's giving me like some k-pop fashion vibes
28:53- Crisis twink is my new gender identity. Looking forward to Phil bleaching his hair and living his dream as a crisis twink as a result of all the moving stress

I've been trying to figure out this whole house build timeline and what the different possibilities were. If they originally planned to move into it in 2017, that makes me wonder if the original plan had been to move in and then renovate while they lived there. I also don't quite understand what would have prevented them from doing that.
And then, given the recent construction pic with Phil is a Covid mask, that makes me wonder if what they've been doing the last few years hasn't been construction per se, but just the design and it's only recently that the design was finalized so construction could begin, which would then of course have been slowed down and delayed because of Covid.
I also wonder if they worked directly with an architect or designer or if they holed up with some swanky design software and just plotted out each room themselves. Kudos to them, because that is way way way too many tiny decisions for me and I would have gone the move-in-ready route myself.
I don't know why but I am dying to know what kind of furniture they chose. Just show us your living room, guys, this is all I want.

The timeline is also really interesting to me. From what they said, I interpreted it as, they bought it in 2017 and at one point there was potential that they would be moving into it sometime in the middle of 2018 ("dangerously in the middle of tour) but it didn't happen. Who knows what happened to 2019.Megancita75 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 3:21 pm I've been trying to figure out this whole house build timeline and what the different possibilities were.

It does confuse me a little bit how they talked about making decisions like electrical placements as if it was fairly recent, because that would've had to happen a good while ago. However it may just have been how they were talking about it that made it seem more recent than it was since this is a long process that they were only just telling us about.
In terms of order construction things need to happen you've got like 3 big stages imo: framing (the interior/base for the walls), plumbing, electrical, then building the walls and floor proper, things like built in cabinetry, etc, and then finishing things i.e. painting. I pegged that picture as summer since Phil is in his shorts and t-shirt and wearing a cloth mask. Nobody was wearing cloth masks before this year (except maybe some people with high air quality sensitivity, but not Phil) It looked to me from the picture like they were somewhere in stage 2, with the walls mostly done, stairs in etc. but no trim or final flooring. With covid delays, who knows where they are now. Dan did say it would still probably be a couple of months before they moved in, I think that's why.
While sometimes it may feel like dnp aren't doing anything because they aren't posting much, they've proved time and time again that they are NEVER not busy. There's just a lot of behind the scenes work that we don't get to see and sometimes don't get to see for a very long time, which makes it hard.
Hey
I have noticed something, i tried to post a comment on phil's new video with dan with the word "couple" in it and when i got to my other account and searched the comment in wasn't there. (when i could see other comments who where there next to the one i tried to post) I have then tried to do it more times and apparently my comments won't show up if the word "couple" is in it.
So i used a website to search youtube comments by words to see if it was just me who was delirious/banned from commenting or whatever and when i searched the word "couple" in the comment section of the video, 0 comments showed up. I think it's possible that no one used that word but, what a weird coincidence ? so then i tried with "phan" and 0 comments showed up too. But when i search any other specific word like "lol" or stuff like that, the comments having them show up without a problem.
Is it possible Phil banned those words from the comments section of his video ? Or is it just a coincidence ?

That’s interesting... i did see a comment by someone else that said “why do white gay couples always look the same” couple is a weird word to censor because someone could comment “I’ve watched a couple of your videos” and then the comment wouldn’t show. I will tell you something similar has happened before when I commented on a persons video. I don’t think they make any money of the videos and I was like the 4th comment. Well I wrote something like “they are a couple” or “they’re in a relationship” the comment disappeared and wouldn’t show. I made a new account and everything to see if it showered and nope. I just assumed the person reviews all comments before showing them so that’s a weird coincidence. Maybe others can try and comment something similar and see if it shows.TuxedoSam wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 4:49 pm Hey

This is definitely interesting! So strange as a ban.
There is a simple website about the process of buying a new-built ( https://www.graysons.co.uk/advice/8-ste ... uild-home/ ) which makes me think that maybe the 2018-2019 delay simply came from them switching to different properties or struggling to secure one specific?
What do you guys think of Wil Soot? He's so cute and reminds me so much of Dan (their hysterical laughs). It would be nice to see them collab!

Re: censoring words from YouTube comments
Kay so I’ve gone and searched two other videos. One being stories from the closet 2 and coming out to you. I searched phan, relationship, couple (because I thought these words would be used the most) All of these have multiple comments with these words all showing. So either no one has commented any of these on phils new video (which I mean it’s possible) and your comment (TuxedoSam) just didn’t post for some reason like mine. Or Phil decided to flag up all these words for this video alone. Which?? Why what’s the reason. He allows them on his “sexuality” centred videos but not this one? Seems odd so I dunno

Yeah i really don't think phil would care to do that because it doesn't make any sense but it just seem like it lol. I'm waiting to see if other people have the same issues too. Thanks for checking !Secretstanner wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 6:02 pm Re: censoring words from YouTube comments

I see everyone talking about him on twitter and i never checked him out. I just did and ... His songs are really not my thing at all. He has similar hair as Dan but i didn't see other similarities. As for his gaming vids, it might interest me because i'm into minecraft but i don't think i will watch lolLevitating wrote: ↑Wed Jan 06, 2021 5:42 pm What do you guys think of Wil Soot?

One of these days I'd love to come up with a timeline of their home process. The fact that they were on tour and had concerns about the home (? or moving out of the apartment?) is just wild. I was in the process of looking for my first ever home back in March 2020 and had to cancel everything; I can't imagine this process lasting literal years!

So I had all these Dan and Phil thoughts I wanted to share yesterday but then, you know, yesterday happened.
I'm just gonna try to jump back in though because escapism is good. When they were talking about decorating their place Dan made the comment about them not being extravagant - what do you think they consider extravagant at this point? I think they have lived beneath their means for multiple years but... I feel like some things they're gonna have will seem extravagant to some of us. (I'm not saying that as a negative, just an observation. If I could design my own dream place I'd have some personal extravagances for fucking sure.) I think some kind of cinema room or pull down projection screen is a definite for them. Also, maybe a dedicated place for playing board games. Either an actual gaming table or just a dining table chosen to accommodate gaming too.

First and foremost: GIANT bathtub (perhaps even jacuzzi) to fit the both of them. And I definitely expect them to have a dedicated office and filming space that can house backgrounds, desks, gaming equipment, all of the computers, etc.
Totally agree on a projection screen and the comfiest couch known to man to go right alongside that. I imagine their kitchen will be set up such that you can easily film from the island (sue me for dreaming of baking videos in the future).
And so so so much more but at this point I might be designing their place for them.

Not very extravagant but I'm hoping for some sort of outdoor space with a couple of sun loungers where they can sip cocktails during the one hot week of the year. I also hope they can plant the little red tree they had on the balcony.
A nice guest room which will have a drawer full of toys for when they babysit Freja.
Maybe one of those weird showers that sprays water all angles and has a sauna.

For sure the giant tub and cinema-style screen for movies/epic gaming nights.
I think the floating stairs themselves are very extravagant and what looked like a two-storey high ceiling in the room behind it. Maybe floor to ceiling windows in that room to accomodate Phil's desire to make every window glass
I'm also guessing two spare bedrooms since this is the forever home? Who knows if kids are part of the plan with the dramatic way they talk about getting a dog but they're still quite young, it only makes sense to draw it into to the plans so they don't need to move again if things change.

Do you think Dan and Phil would be the kind of people who would dedicate a whole room for their dog? I am 50 and 50. Cause Phil has made it extremely clear all he wants if when they get the doggo is to dump all of his love on said doggo.
Has anyone thought about the possibility of them having 2 living rooms? Or maybe a small space on the filming area that looks like a living room?
Does anyone remember which kinds of flowers they like for the garden? Imma just go ahead and say what we all know, especially considering when they gave Dil that stunning garden:
Those assholes are getting the cherry tree.
They better take some pics or I will 100% unsubscribe.

I think I thought they mentioned a Koi pond and that’s like the next step from Norman but it sounds like a lot of maintenance so idk.
I can definitely see the cherry tree and a Japanese Maple but all I know is that there will be no sunflowers!
