As far as the contract in general - I'm not a fan of the specific penalties based on demonetization/ad loss on specific big tech platforms - but fees are ALWAYS linked to the amount of $ you bring in (or potentially bring in). Should Daily Wire just be a charity for conservative content? If you are a youtuber and your means of making $ is youtube, yes, you're going to get paid less if you lose all youtube revenue, this isn't rocket science. Does the contract make sense for Crowder? Obviously not.

Does anyone actually have numbers for what Crowder makes off mug club now that he lost his prior subscriber list? This basically determines whether the DW deal was reasonable or not.

While of course DW comes off bad here, I'm not sure I believe Crowder's principled conservative angle - I think he may just be pissed off that DW didn't up their offer.
