Larry King gets about 1.2 million viewers a night. This guy, Sxephil, has been seen 14 million times in the past month. The YouTube “star” will average 1 million views per day soon.
- Larry King is well known, can be found easily on the large monitor you call a television. He’s been in lots of movies. Maybe you’ve seen one of them.
- This guy, Phil, makes his own web show and you’ve never heard of him. But a few million have, and follow him like hobos follow liquor. In fact many days, he’ll have more eyes on him than Larry King, especially when you count Phil’s other videos, web, live broadcasts.
- Larry fetches a pretty penny for an ad. Phil? A bit less. No- a lot less per view.
- Phil writes, shoots, directs, edits and produces his stuff. Larry? He has some help. Expensive help.
And you want to know the interesting thing? People far less popular than this Phil guy are getting seen more daily than most of the television shows you talk about. Hmmm…
This is what I’m talking about, media buyers (see last post). The world’s a-changin’.
P.S. Phil- I’d say life is the paper not the pencil or pen. But you and ZeFrank have never commented on this blog before, so you may never know that Great answer.

Wow! Phil’s followers really jamnmed up this blog for a day! FWIW, I used to subscribe to Phil, but got tired of his whinny voice.
For all you Phil fans out there, I really don’t think Kevin was dissing your god; quite the opposite.
@29: Welcome to my world.
Wow. Check out he fan base! It’s alive and well. A bit less defensive than the SMPFilm fanatics but scary still.
Great post Nalts!
I think you knew that already though.
Kind of funny to read some of the SXEtards (this is a subset of the DeFranco Nation consisting of internet trolls and their 12 year old cousins) and their comments though. People, remember, before you post an online comment, say it out loud and pretend your saying it to your mother.
If you can’t say it in front of you mom,
then rephrase your thought and try again!
P.S. I’m a member of the DeFranco Nation, but some
of these idiots need to off themselves
Additionally, my mother approved this comment!
@38 He has interviewed one of the producers for Bioshock 2 so…I think he’s gotten pretty important.
C.J Crawford- I agree 100%. I too am part of the Defranco Nation and I believe Phil would be more than happy if some of these people would unsubscribe. They make us and Phil look bad. BTW Great post NALTS! Unlike some of the people here I know you weren’t putting Phil down. I’m not sure how some of these people thought that, but I guess not everyone can have an IQ over 60.
So many comments… so little interest to read them.
only 56 comments? hmmm… and at least 1/3 is us
I expected at least a couple hundred when all was said and done.
maybe something’s wrong with my abacus
I love sxephil, he does his shows very well with humor to.
I also follow his vlogs and totalyawsome.
Im a normal 26 yr girl from Holland who watches his vid just to relax and take some time of after a hard days work.
Keep up the good work Phil!!
xxx Sylvia
