Comparing the AP channel to beauty or gaming youtubers is not a good comparison imo since they are totally different genres of content and the viewership for gaming/beauty is significantly higher than the kind of low-key comedy videos Phil makes.
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 exclusivelyshan wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 10:17 pm

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?"![]()

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.kavat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 4:06 pm The video just hit a million views in 21 hours. That's kind of insane. The last video of his that has over 1m was the glasses video back in 2019.
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.
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.
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?inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 0:35- The fact that they still do the little pillow thing and introduction after all these years despite the fact that it's immensely obvious is so endearing to me for some reason
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.inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 3:51- 'This is how well I know Phil' Dan reminding us that even though we haven't seen him in ages and he lost the Phil quiz, he is still #1 amazingphil stan and don't we dare think otherwise
Thank you for noting all the things cut out - I was super curious about that but didn't do any comparing myself.inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 4:53- Some of Dan's filth about bath balls was cut out here lmao
Also all the VPMO2 and Beard Edit chat and sorting out the echo was cut
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.inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm6:10- Somehow I didn't catch this originally but the recognizing the Tesco guy was in Manchester? So probably a while ago??
6:17- Calm down Mr. Eyebrows
7:00 Embarrassed facepalm from Phil after the porn story
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.inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 12:20- DnD chat, making gay characters for themselves, like every queer ever
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.)inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 18:40- Video clip of Dan on the living flat balcony (fairly recently? there are no leaves on the trees) waving his arms around. His sweatpants are on 2/3 of his ass, at best.
Oh my god YES that little circle cracked me up. Phil, I love you.inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm 19:28- Dan's sultry pic. The wandering little circle of censor is hilarious to me
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.inanerat wrote: Tue Jan 05, 2021 6:41 pm23:48- Y'all are on about the pillow thing being cute?? Phil lightly punching Dan in the arm being excited about the boot story is what ended me.
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
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. 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.
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
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 ?
I saw that exact same comment about gay couples !! and i just searched the word "couples" with an "s" and this exact comment show but only this one.Secretstanner wrote: Wed Jan 06, 2021 5:17 pmThat’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.

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
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
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? He's so cute and reminds me so much of Dan (their hysterical laughs). It would be nice to see them collab!
If I put myself in D&P's shoes....alittledizzy wrote: Thu Jan 07, 2021 7:24 pm 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.
They definitely will have two living rooms (filming one and gaming one) and an area for board games.snoopysadie wrote: Fri Jan 08, 2021 1:28 am 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.
