I love how he obviously used to try so hard to look seductive. Now he just throws on a BLING gator girls hat and is somehow way hotter than he ever was back then lmao.
Oh I do so enjoy the way
that his fingers are all
nice and thick and long
and the way that his nails
seem trimmed to the flesh
it's kind of like a poem
that doesn't even rhyme
but why would it when
you already know what
is going and exactly where

i mean i'm neither suggesting that he got lonely at home nor am i suggesting he got ready for arrival or both or whatever i'm just making observations as observations are fun and finely trimmed fingers are an art to be appreciated i can never get mine that neat and my ex used to ALWAYS complain

(also, I just realized phamnotof was referring to fingering. I was wondering why your ex would care about your fingernails. I'm clearly not dirty minded enough)

Phil is looking so good in these tour vids. He should wear that shirt more often.

Umm,

So can any1 explain why Dan is under his own network?

Or like why did it get started?

Or why Phil isn't?

I'm confused... (and how/why does his network also claim at least 2 fake Dan accounts? I'm even more confused)

Huh, that is really weird. I mean Phil isn't there (it seems like he is still with ChannelFlip), but their gaming channel is. Very strange indeed.

I don't understand why they need to have 5 shows in Florida; there's no way they can fill all of them up :shock:

I can kinda see why Phil isn't there if he was under ChannelFlip before (because changing networks is usually very difficult/troublesome/not possible? depending on contracts)

Maybe he didn't want to have a contract that says he has to upload x times a month or something? I don't know.. Just wondering if he EVER mentioned it or if anyone has any better ideas?

I've never understood that either. Seems like a weird choice to me.

As far as I know, they have never spoken about this, so this is all a bit weird.

Maybe Phil is waiting for his contract to end with ChannelFlip.

Channelflip still claims Dan, though. Maybe socialblade has inaccurate info?

edit: CF actually has pages for Dan Howell, danisnotonfire, DanAndPhilGAMES, Phil Lester, and AmazingPhil.

Could be. But I did google Dan's network and it seems very legit. I'm very confused about all of this.

I don't think that SocialBlade is a network per se? It's like a site to that keeps tracks statistics. You can find most YouTubers on there, regardless of what their network is, and I don't even think that they get a say about whether they're on there.

Maybe they're in the process of leaving CF and going it alone, maybe not who knows? I'd guess that it wouldn't just be something quick and easy that happens overnight, but if it IS the case, maybe D/Ps contracts are up at different times? IDK, just trying to come up with anything that sounds halfway reasonable...

It isn't a network, but it does indicate which netwerk claims certain channels. AmazingPhil is claimed by ChannelFlip, and Dan used to be as well. Only now it says his channel is claimed by DanHowellLimited.

I thought I didn't see it when I checked a few months ago...

So maybe they are moving? Then again who knows.

They are a mystery to me.

Its interesting that their gaming channel is parked under danhowelllimited; if suddenly AmazingPhil is also claimed under it, then we need to see if they changed the directorship of the company to both of them instead of just Dan. Currently still only Dan, and Phil still has AmazingPhil Limited on his own.

This is quite recent, last month DINOF was still under ChannelFlip.

Oh I get it now! Sorry for the confusion. Oh dear, if misters "we do everything ourselves" even start managing themselves, I mean,... I guess it's nice, but also, how much do they want to take on?
