MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Would you kill your mom for $50 mil? Suck my dick? And it's not $50 million if 95% of that gets taken away because you offended Big Tech.
Minus every production cost, assuming they didn't deduct for leftist ad boycotts working or Big Tech censorship.
DW also offers subscriptions, they'd still have Mug Clug memberships.
BUT MONEY!! 50 MIL ZOMG~~!!!! You're mad he didn't sign the contract but saying "just don't sign the contract", make up your mind.
Besides the daily show, that he's required to film in a professional studio with professional staff in order to upload the production standard clause, he has to produce quarterly & annual content like Change My Mind- those involve travel, security, permits, etc. And if he has to replace equiptment DW doesn't cover that, that comes out of the lump sum.
He specifically said there were new players trying to get into the market, plus there's half a dozen other outlets it reasonably could have been- on top of that he said this contract wasn't unusual and that other Big Con oulets had similar deals.
See above
Owens, Walsh & others joined in before that- it started after Jeremy did his reveal video.
he counter offered 120 millions, so he could be bought for that amount. this is a fight between jews and their shabbos over the price of service.
Are you a child? Yes, the whole point of an employment offer is about money. Have you ever had a job before?
Crowder presently has a huge Youtube channel which is his primary way of driving monetization to his brand. He censors himself on his Youtube content all the time because he doesn't want to get banned. The whole "omg DW wants to carry water for youtube" angle is idiotic when you consider that nothing would change for Crowder. Obviously the whole "demonetized on youtube" thing is something Crowder could have and should have red lined instead of throwing a hissy fit.
Why are you dick riding Crowder on production costs? Do you know what his production costs are? Because I'm certain he didn't reveal that private business info to the public. Since he is a one-man-show and just a podcast, his production costs ought to be very low.
Sounds like an argument Crowder could have made in negotiating instead of crying about it in public.
Umm, no I'm not. I think Crowder is a juvenile idiot with an immature and cringe sense of humor, which is why I don't watch him, and why he's so popular on Youtube. I'm glad he didn't sign with the DW.
The quarterly content is cheap and the same as his daily show basically. The annual content is basically a "special" like "What is a Woman" that could involve travel and interviews. It wouldn't cost millions, and Boering openly said he was expecting to negotiate and end up paying more than the $50m original offer, which, btw, comes to $12.5m a year. Do you not understand $12.5m a year is? A typical low level staffer/contractor costs $30-50k. A high level one costs $70-100k. He could have a staff of 10 lower end and 5 higher end - which is way more than he should need, and that's only a payroll of ~$800k, which is only 6.4% of what he's getting paid.
Nope. DW is literally the only big player in the game of right wing punditry throwing around a lot of money right now. Nobody else offered Crowder anywhere near this much money.
Not that I saw on Twitter, and I can say this is especially true of Walsh. Go ahead and link me his tweet prior to the recorded call where he attacked Crowder. The whole of DW was being unusually polite and nice to Crowder. I would not have been. I think it's because Shapiro and Boering wanted to be the adults and maintain friendly relations with Crowder even though he knifed them.
