we know plankton and krabs have been playing poker together for 15 years
we also know this episode aired before the episode where pearl turned 16
while the non-continuity & non-chronological order of the series means that assuming that pearl was 15 in welcome to the chum bucket is a fool’s gamble - it’s reasonable enough that if there is an episode about her turning 16, her character was likely conceptualized as being 15 years old prior to that point. but either she was 15 or she was 16 in welcome to the chum bucket … and either way, that’s about as long as pearl’s been alive.
we also know that pearl is krabs’ biological daughter … through a combination of facts … and were given reason to believe that something happened to the mother of his child shortly after pearl’s birth that made him depressed. she’s not around anymore and no longer apart of their lives in any way shape or form.
we also know plankton and krabs were childhood best friends, going on to have an on-again-off-again friendship for years prior to spongebob getting a job at the krusty krab … and the two are shown to occasionally have moments where they truly, genuinely care about each other deep down, despite the rivalry …
conclusion: plankton might have started playing poker with krabs to cheer him up after the death of his wife
conclusion: plankton is the worlds ittiest, most bittiest whale
It’s still very strange that the creator of minecraft, arguably the biggest video game released in the last decade - something that has had an immense cultural impact worldwide - went on to become a sheltered, miserable and lonely racist billionaire. The creator of an immense achievement that has inspired millions - who also hasn’t had anything to do with it for years and spends his time regurgitating /pol/ right wing talking points on twitter as he lounges in his mansion, all alone. He sends the tweet and closes his phone, discouraged by the bloated pockmarked face he sees staring at him in the reflection, before attempting to clear his mind with a visit to his candy room.
It is an unsuccessful venture. The candy room can’t soothe him - none of his excessive, wasteful wealth can. “.. a car showroom, vodka and tequila bars, a 54-foot curved glass door that opens onto the pool, eight bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, apartment-sized closets, and a movie theater..” This opulence does not bring him relief, but he hoards it regardless - it’s his, damn it, and he deserves it. He will die in this mansion - this tomb - in bathroom #6 of #15, on the toilet, in the middle of writing a racist inflammatory tweet, because that is the closest thing he gets to human contact anymore. A real connection.

Source? Im genuinely curious
I’m not sure what you’re asking for a source for in particular, so I’ll just run down a few.
One more just for fun: this giant candy room that he spent a bunch of cash on? Dude is so lonely that the candy keeps expiring because he has no friends to come over and use his ridiculous candy room.
