Seems like Crowder’s doing all this to get more interest in starting his own thing. DW’s offer is pretty standard. The entire brand was built by playing within the YouTube rules, much like Tim Pool did, and Crowder’s been banned multiple times for openly skirting them.
DW wouldn’t make any money if they gave him another offer so they gave him that one. The main issue is that Crowder’s better off going it alone, which he has to know. DW and Tim Pool and everyone would immediately give him shout outs for support. This all has to be planned. I refuse to believe this is a real ‘stand’ he’s taking, which I say as someone that’s on Mug Club and will follow Crowder wherever. I’d rather see an uncensored Crowder, which DW can’t provide. Go full Alex Jones on it.
So...they're friends but they still want him to negotiate like a business but not take other business precautions. But they also want to inflict heavy penalties on him as well
Why not just ask him to bend over then 'friend'
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.
