Not take other business precautions?
Them being friends doesn’t mean he just hands Crowder a 50 million dollar budget for 4 years. I really like Crowder. More than DW. Crowder’s great, but he’s overtly handling this to stir up drama, which I can do without.
Nobody is asking for 50 million with no strings. It just depends if you think the penalties are worth it considering they’re mostly not based on his shows but if he gets banned or suspended etc
DW operates within the YouTube/Social Media rules that are completely stacked against them. Crowder mostly tries not to and pushes hard enough that they at times change rules just to get him. That makes him a bad investment for them, unless there are provisions in place to protect them.
The bigger issue is that Crowder knows he can’t get the deal he wants ANYWHERE and he needs to go it alone so he can Alex Jones it, and is using this with Jeremy’s consent most likely to drum up publicity for that to have a big launch. Crowder’s an actual actor. I love him but if people that are his fans don’t see this then they don’t fully understand Crowder.
Except as someone else pointed out above , DW is the one who approached him so if he's that bad an investment, why bother
He would be a good investment at those terms, not at ones he’d like. On those terms he’s a bad investment.
They also approached Tim Pool.
DW approached them formally, with an offer, but they both admitted they talked many times before that in general terms.
He absolutely can't get that deal anywhere or BlazeTV would've never let him go. BlazeTV had the receipts on MugClub subscribers, so the fact that they didn't do everything to keep him there should tell you a lot.
It’s even more compelling that Crowder became monetarily unworkable due to all the bans when his own network could no longer support him. It’s not like The Blaze is retarded. If they could make it work they would have since he was already on there and was for years.
Crowder’s whole shtick here seems to rely on people not realizing how contract negotiations work, so he could try to have a big ideological movement to support him launching his own thing when the reality of it was that the guy that gets banned a lot and is demonetized isn’t profitable without his own private network like Jones. I’ll support him either way, but could have done without all this.
