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.
So basically everything that he's currently not. Wow, everything can be a good investment then, they just need to change their mannerisms or patterns to become good investments regardless of whether they're actually one -_-
Or dwire could be less retarded and find people who fit in
This is like buying a known ip and shitting all over it cause you think it'll make a good investment.
DW is the ‘play be the rules and push conservatism’ brand that funnels people into their memberships through mainstream channels. Crowder is the opposite. It wouldn’t be that hard for Crowder to just do what Tim Pool does and save all the big things for the Mug Club folks, which is probably what Jeremy made the offer hoping for. Crowder in general also knows he needs to go it alone, so he probably asked Jeremy if they could have some drama to stir up interest for both of them and he said sure since they’re friends.
Crowder registered the domain name StopConPro a month before the call with Jeremy. This was all planned.
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.
