It's definitely a combination of both. He's like a pigeon who noticed that he can peck the button and seeds are dispensed. So now he pecks the button (begs) nearly every waking second. In true pavlovian fashion, sometimes the tips are dispensed and sometimes they are not. It's almost random. It used to be nearly instant. He would beg, and tips would appear from a whale. But now the begging has become so constant that there are no peaks and valleys. He's begging nearly 24/7. So the whales are no doubt confused or jaded. The result is that, whenever he doesn't have some kind of special begging scheme set up to milk autists (like the vest streaks,) he gets only sporadic donations and very little when whales don't decide to show up. He's the one who has set it up this way. He torpedoed his Patreon in favor of quick tips, probably because he realized the tips feed his gatcha habit faster. He's emphasized large donations over small, consistent ones because of his short-term greed. The result is this bizarre situation where he can get $250 one stream (3 whale tips) and $10 on another stream (when no whales appear.)
When it comes to rpgs, dave has zero originality and wants to be handheld through a linear story. He hated Oblivion but loved Skyrim, FYI. 5000 shitty radiant quests to kill draugrs? 10/10 best game evar. Oblivion on PC? He quit at level 7 and cried the entire "playthrough." The term "modern console scrub" doesn't go far enough in describing him. He wouldn't have played morrowind as far as he has if not for the fact several paypigs committed to handholding him.
