Daily Wire knew exactly what they were doing when they put out the video. Everyone was focused on the amount while ignoring that a) it would be over the span of 4 years, b) give Crower less of a profit over his mug club, c) would require him to spend even more on his overhead, d) any product costs comes out of his $50m payment, e) would give Daily Wire complete control over his social media, f) which is made worse by the fact that they will fucking fine him for any social media infractions.
Daily Wire is acting like they're doing Crowder a favor despite Crowder bringing more fans to DW than vice versa, but what do you expect from Shylock HQ?
Yeah, Crowder wasn't getting a 50 mil salary, he was getting a $12m/yr budget. He had to pay everything out of that to make the show- employees, equipment, studio space, insurance, security, etc. On top of that he wasn't getting any (IIRC) of the merch or ad money and losing a bunch of control.
Any money DW took wasn't just a taking money out of his pocket, it was taking away his ability to pay for the entire production- and he couldn't even reduce production quality of the show to save money as per the contract.
"Oy vey, isn't an annual budget of $12m enough? Surely, you don't need more than $10m. I would kill to have $8m every year!"
Still my favorite (New York) Jew joke.
DW also approached him not the other way around. They also give this contract out as standard. All the Muppets talking about how he just needed to negotiate are why we're doomed. They see zero issue with forcing conservatives to comply with big techs nebulous rules. The same ones crowder broke throughout covid, the election etc to provide the truth.
Jew puppets at dw. Time for crowder to pick a side
I've crunched some numbers. $50 mill over 4 years for Crowder would still be profitable. He has about 25 employees, and a building he rents. Including equipment, and some other stuff, this adds up to "only" a few million a year.
Since these are business expenses, he can write them down as such, meaning he isn't taxed like a normal person. This means, he'd make, I think about $7 million per year under the DW deal (if he does everything perfectly).
None of what you just said takes into account possible penalties from DW if any of his social media gets hit... social media that he would no longer run. Literally nothing is stopping them from running bot campaigns to get his accounts struck so they can punish him.
God damn, some of you are stupid as hell.
Or the taxes he’d have to pay on that money just for having it put into his accounts “business expenses” only go so far at tax time.
Holy shit that's a moronic take. If they run bot campaigns to get his accounts struck, then they can't monetize the videos and get any revenue from them. I've seen other people post similar sentiments and it's mind-boggingly stupid. The purpose of any business is to make money and you're saying they're going to sabotage their own revenue just so they can penalize him for not generating any revenue.
You're missing the point where he just becomes a jew puppet to Shapiro and his friends
is there any difference? his contents were never that edgy and never got near the jq or criticized our greatest ally ™
Crowder prob was just in normie conservative mode. Maybe now he's being redpilled.
How's the weather in Tel Aviv today?
Perfectly is a word rarely used in business
Yes, which is why I used the term Shylock.
