Believe it or not, tonight was actually the first time in over a month (since 06/19/21) that Dave missed the tips goal on BOTH streams. Which made me want to investigate further into the concept of how much the actual tips goal conditions the paypigs (and a lot of the detractors) into minimizing the fact that he can earn a shit ton of money and still hide behind the fact that the "goal" wasn't met.
Here's the best example I can think of to illustrate this. The following image is the breakdown of 3 back to back streaming weeks and how often their tips goals were hit:
As we can see, the
1st week (tips goal = $200), the goal was hit only
20% of the time, he frequently did that whole "well the goal wasn't met, but you know we came close so it is what it is" type of shit. The
2nd week (tips goal = $100) he hit the goal
66% of the time, a significant increase. The
3rd week (tips goal = $150), he hit the goal
57% of the time.
So to someone who isn't paying attention, it may appear on the surface that Dave did really poorly in that first week and then did significantly better in the following week right? After all, it's clear at this point that Dave's mood is determined not by the absolute amount earned (thanks for nothing Jaxx_Cuxxor), but rather if the arbitrary goal number is met.
Well it turns out that for the week where he hit the tips goal
the most, he actually earned
the least amount of money overall:
Bottom line: Do not let this prick pignotize you into mentally accepting $150 as the new $100. Even if he "misses" the goal but still gets $128 like tonight, he's still earning way too much for his shit-tier content.

All of that being said, check out the absolute pinnacle of positive and organic support from tonight:
PayPal sure got their money's worth in flat fee's today, this is what I'm talking about when I say that the fee increase happening next month might be a little more than Dave is expecting.
