I know we all knew this goes down, but usually OiC is more coy about it.
Keep in mind that Phil specifically said that people weren't going to tip under aliases anymore, specifically because everyone thinks every tip is OiC.
Now OiC confirms he is tipping under aliases, and Phil is getting angry that people are saying it's OiC when he clearly confirmed that it was.
Phil once again needlessly full of shit, particularly when it comes to the defense of a precious whale.
The notifications that don't pop up but that he reads suggests that Phil does get direct contributions for a number of whales, and he seems to selectively read tips from those people, like SilentBob, for instance. We don't know when that guy actually tips, and he allegedly only watches on YT. He seems to give Phil about $37/stream. But he also somehow only seems to tip when Phil has yet to meet the tip goal. I sincerely doubt this - I think he sends money every day and Phil only reads it when he wants to boost the number for the day. He also recently received a tip from a newly verified user between streams and refused to state the amount. That was likely $200 if it was the same as their refunded unverified tip. And we know he made arrangements with Jeff, clearly OiC, and openly asked to speak via email with DevilUK. He tried to negotiate a $9k contribution from a troll posing as a fan via email and keep it off the stream so that nobody knew about it. And a fan tipped $1100 between streams that Phil had to disable the streamlabs tip leaderboard to hide. To this day he refuses to acknowledge that he received that amount and insists it was some glitch (it wasn't).
Even if he isn't receiving behind the scenes tips on a consistent basis, he actively seeks to. He's been very clear that he reviles transparency, and if someone consents to hiding the money, he will always choose that over transparency.
