In late 2016, Philip created the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXWdCNzSx5gYOm9XWDaACTQ What The Heck Just Happened] <span>YouTube</span> channel which showcases various magic tricks. A video showing Phil doing a trick is published and it is soon followed by a video explaining how the trick works. However, viewers must reenact the trick themselves in a video and link it to Phil's video, before the trick is revealed on his channel. If a trick video reaches 100,000 views and still hasn't been solved, then Phil will release hints and snippets of attempted submissions to help viewers figure out exactly what happened in the trick. Also, Dianna made an apperanceappearance on what the heck just happened

Another channel he partially manages is the channel [[Char Char Gaming]], which is primarily owned by his sister [[Jasmine Adams|Jasmine]]. On the channel, he makes thumbnails and writes descriptions for the videos she makes. He has also been featured in several videos of the Minecraft Let's Play series on that channel so far.
 
Line 128:
Back in April 2013, Philip published a prank video called ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AhJ-fGQsfo OSFirstTimer - Talking About Operating Systems Prank]'' on the OSFirstTimer channel, which got substantial amounts of backlash. The backlash has its roots leading back to 4chan, where users shared that video and described it in a mocking way. The main points they listed is that Phil is ''miserably failing at being funny and relatable ''and that he ''is either an attraction for autistic people ''or'' being autistic himself''. Other people would go for making fun of his voice being ''too frog-like''. The backlash eventually grew to the point where the video is having a like-to-dislike ratio of about 1.34 likes for every dislike, which is worse than the previously listed controversy. Since then, OSFirstTimer was often associated with ''cringe'', but in more recent days, the backlash for that video has almost gone away.
 
However, Philip's general type of humourhumor and delayed knowledge of internet memes creates controversy as well, so does his overconcern and/or misinformation about topics such as radiation, sunscreens or even geographical knowledge. Religious jokes and references are also made by him and his parents sometimes, especially about the ''devil's number'' 666 and god. The controversy has been built up for alleged reasons such as them'' shoving their religion onto other people's faces'','' being too uneducated, ''and/or them ''telling their audience things that were debunked before. ''Especially the radiation scenario has either been debunked or joked about a few times in the past, even by his viewers/subscribers.
 
Some viewers have mentioned that his videos are loosely prepared, and that it still feels as if Diana/Ben '''and Phil''' are trying out operating systems and programs, and not ''just'' Diana or Ben themselves. This means that there are a few things still being improvised and/or not fully researched upon. On the other hand, other viewers find that Phil is restricting Diana too much, making her actions limited to the things that Philip finds ''interesting or watchable for their viewers/subscribers''. However, Diana's purpose is (or was originally) to be portrayed to be a computer-illiterate person, trying out another operating system/program for the first time and in her '''own''' way. Several scenes were included in videos where even Diana herself questions Philip as to why he is restricting her to do her own actions. Examples are the episodes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Reh15duZMAg Mum Tries Out Solaris 11.1 (2012)] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdRzvw0HhlU Mum Tries Out Solus 1.1 (2016)].
 
Another controversy is his fanbase's action of doxxing Philip's current home address and phone number, although there is no report of Philip and his family having been unwantedly visited by OSFirstTimer subscribers so far. However, they do not recommend/condone to be doxxed (or to doxx in general) as privacy and welfare is still needed to be respected regardless of subscribers being long-time or recent fans.
