Dan & Phil Part 21: Say Howdy to InDepthBants

[iero]

i LOVE the idea of a photo book, it reminds me of when i used to buy kpop photo books years ago. i had a feeling they were going to make something like this when they'd take selfies of themselves and the vips on tour. that cover though...

Edit: Did Dan just throw some serious shade towards other Youtubers?
Someone said something about "Other youtubers are obsessed with you guys" and his response was "Yeah, because other Youtubers want to have an audience that actually pays attention to them."

I think he said:
- "Dan so many youtubers are obsessed with you"
- "yeah, when I have an audience that will give them attention"

Really liked the liveshow. Nothing special about it but Dan was cute and chill. It was lovely to watch. Also I am HERE for DanandPhilPolitics. Bring it on.

He did throw something of a shade, good he's way to diplomatic and risk-averse as is, he should just speak his mind. On youtubers using him to engage their audience, on his thoughts about the world and how he thinks it ought to be. Nobody is perfectly informed and much prefer his younger audience get some information from him than say fox 'news'.

It's gotten to the point where they could monetize their internet history and make a bloody fortune.

Now that I would buy, go figure

My guess at Dan's internet history, just for fun:


What can I say, I was inspired

Show us the way to true knowledge

I'm currently having a vision about their soon to be released TATINOF documentary. The video... it is coming to me... It's true... they did actually go outside! ... this vision it's .. it's like a balled up series of images perfectly summing up the variety show, the meet & greets, the Danye LED shoes... aarghh



yes, i do mentally still live in the year 2009 an no i just couldn't hop aboard the Kanye pain train

I mean, let's face it, deppy has attracted an amost-entire dedicated audience. I'm glad he finally mentioned something about other youtubers using "phan" as click bait....ex.onision, luke, (insert any desperate YouTuber here) But the fault comes on both ends, 1. The creater who used them as views and B. Dan and Phil personally for leaving fans so content hungry that they will click on anything that has their face....(I too, fall victim to this)

Trying to be helpful: the actual quote is
-"Dan, so many youtubers are obsessed with you" (this is what he says aloud, I don't know what the person actually wrote)
-"Yeah, when I have an audience that will give then attention *snaps finger* ... I'm joking"
in between the 30-35 minute mark on the tumblr thing

I was sceptical about the shade every one was talking about but yeah that is pretty on point.

Not sure how I feel about the book. On one hand i think it's a nice, unique idea and a little memento for those who went to the tour or wished they could but at the same time I could have just had these photos on Instagram/twitter. I dunno if I'll buy it. I'll have to see what the selection of photos is like before hand.

Glad Dan wasn't sponspored by insta but he was still told by insta that he should give it a try. I'm kinda happy it's just a one off thing but I think it's something he should do just randomly every now and then. Every day and I would get desensitised to Dan producing content but one story every fornight? yep i'd be all over that.

[starlight-still]

Deppy: Guess what guys? We're releasing a photobook for TATINOF! Saaay, you'll preorder, right?
Me: Nah, maybe I'll just wait until it comes out and get it in the store. If I even get it then.


Dan: ...


Phil: ...


Me: ...?

Dan:


Phil:

Me: ...aaaaaand it's ordered. Yay.

Never say no to deppy.

The "art book" idea is fine, but I keep imagining someone trying to sell their latest family vacation photo album to random people on the internet. (That's probably happened, can't be bothered to search.)

Just as a personal rant, it's frustrating me. I bought TABINOF via Kindle because despite Dan's enthusiasm, I know how physical objects end up. My "nostalgia" from previous fandoms is indeed in a box - a cardboard one full of junk and not locked with a key necklace, which is less artistic for a trailer.

But the Kindle app experience is horrible for things like that. It barely zooms on text, nothing for pictures. Complete waste of money getting a photo book like that. So apparently it's dust collector or nothing.

[mysterylovescompany]

Since it seems at this point that only the UK and US tours will be in the book, I am going to foolishly stubbornly hope for an Australian DITL. They have one almost every year, and they haven't done a 2016 one yet. Please, Deppy.

I apologize everyone, I got excited as soon as he said it and when I re-typed it I think I made the quote about five times more sassy than it actually was. (Selective hearing? Wishful thinking, maybe?)
(To be fair, there was still some definite sass.)

[karlitatvphan]

Yeah Dan, sure you were "joking" I think he really meant it though I myself have watched videos of another youtuber talking about them so guilty.

Off topic: My brother today told me that when my mom and him when to Argentina and Uruguay on vacation recently thought on buying me TABINOF but they couldn't find it anywhere and they are giving me something else IM CRYING.

Yeah, it's not sold here. I had my aunt buy it for me in the US

[daichii]

haven't watched the ls but gotta comment on the book.
cover: fugly, not surprising after their phan phone case

feeling pretty meh about this one, I'm looking forward to all the photos and I know they can make this good but I really don't understand why they've released a book mid tour. I'm not that much against another one bc but dapgo: australia/europe edition seems like a bit too much if that's what they have in mind.

I'll wait for people to review the kindle vers before buying tho

[rizzo]

So, it's is a few days late, but I didn't see this posted and I thought you guys would enjoy it. Rubi's comments on Reddit about Dan visiting ANET:



&



The whole thread is pretty short and worth a read for an outsider's perspective of him, but it's always nice to hear good things about your faves.

[swofro]

Hey, look who's back for her late opinions about everything because she fall asleep halfway through.

I can't believe no one had mention this yet, but Dan actually acknowledging angry-DM-Phil is all I want from him. I don't have the time stamp but he said something like 'I saw some of you found something like TABINOF2 and me and Phil was like what? that's not what it is and we send emails to them.' Huge paraphrasing but it is something like that. I knew that Phil is behind the amazon taking off the title and author from the pre-order thing we found. Haha.

So #DAPGO is a thing. Can we have the emoticons ready for the mention like the one we did for TABINOF? I will make a request on the emoticons thread too. Please work your wonder, Oqua senpai.

Other things I like.

Drake mentioned!1!! I don't know Dan knows we called him Drake, but ofc it's not a secret anymore since even Martyn and Drake follows danandphilbodyguards on instagram. But yeah, Dan really knows what's going on in the phandom.

Good for him to go to specialist. Agree with missemma that he should hire you instead, his GP sucks. I hope he feel better soon, it must be uncomfortable for him to perform on stage if he is still sick by then.

We need more piano videos, Dan, it doesn't matter if you only play twinkle twinkle little star but we just wanna see some fingers action (well, I'm not, I'm more of a Phil's fingers fan as you all probably know) and of course the serenading music.

secret voice acting. i still don't have any theory. maybe it has something to do with bbc radio1, doing their commercial or something like that. lol. idk. i hope they get back their ass to the radio soon, because I miss it so much, I don't know what I have till it's gone.

Instagram. Dan being sassy about ppl think he is being sponsored Sorry, Dan, totally guilty over here. (but really, sorry not sorry. I still think they should pay you for the exposure, make those money for the koi pond and glass walls house) But thing is, Dan, you think the stories you take gonna be remove and thrown away to void soon, but the phandom records everything, you know. It won't go away, but it won't stay on your instagram account, so if that's what you want, then there you have it. But it will definitely be on other social media for documenting purpose.

In a nutshell, chill ls, I got the notification for tumblr streaming, which is good, but tumblr app is a mess on my phone (the reason why I'm not on tumblr much anymore) so there's that downside too. But it works well for everyone else so that's a hope for us to get the freedom of the mess that is younow.

Can't wait to see the game they gonna play while sitting on the sofa where the bird poops on them

You may have quoted him wrong, but the shade was DEFINITELY all there!

Speaking of the radioshow: Radio 1s listening figures are down, but they're pleased with their social media stats. Iiiiiiiiiiinteresting....

Thanks! could it be because they also saw jack's twitter replies?

Also like people already said: we were right with those angry dms
I also loved his interest in politics and understand how he doesn't want to talk about it, me same.
Still the fact that we don't have those eu tour dates makes me worried, I know that they are a mess with planing things but people have lives, I have uni, tell me how I should plan my time and begin to save up money, one thing is if you skip my country or not.
He seemed tired, especially towards the end, but I could also understand it with being fed up with his illness, let's hope he recovers otherwise the tour is going to be hell and he would have to take stronger drugs.

IckleMissMayhem let's hope.

I found it interesting that the iTunes diss track pirating wasn't mentioned. Maybe Dan chose not to acknowledge it, but the chat box moves at light speed, so it's easy to miss. Or there's some kind of legal action going on and he can't comment....

Oh yeah! He probably just forgot? If I were him I would've said something like "don't buy stuff on itunes that looks like it's from me unless I talk about it first" but oh well, he already had tweeted about it by then so it's not a big deal I guess. Or maybe he didn't want to make it a bigger deal and kinda sweep it under the rug. I'm not sure if he's really going to go through with suing them because they're probably a child. He's probably just trying to work out getting the money out of the uploader's pockets and back to those who bought it. (I actually have no idea, that's just my theory)

[DryCereal]

It's gone the way of the Probably for the best. Probably filed under "Let Flip/Apple sort that mess out"

Hahaha, YES, I feel this!

I can imagine my parents or something coming over and asking, who are these new friends of yours daughter-mine, and why do you have their entire holiday photo album.

Thoughts on Dan and Phil being (seemingly) incapable to maintain their public friendships?
