Ben Shapiro and the DW are 100% in the right in this one, and Crowder is a slimy douchebag who is 100% in the wrong.
Crowder solicited a job offer from the DW
10/5/22: The DW gave him an offer of $50 million for 4 years, meant to be a starting point for negotiations (the document even says this, that it's a starting point and a framework, not a "take it or leave it" deal)
11/2/22: Crowder gets INSULTED by the offer, demands $30M per year, and demands the DW re-write the term sheet entirely instead of making edits to the one already provided.
11/14/22: DW rejects Crowder's demands.
12/12/22: Steven registers http://StopBigCon.com, planning a future hit piece on the DW to cast himself as a rebel against the establishment, and a victim.
1/7/23: Steven texts Jeremy in friendly fashion to ask if they can talk.
1/9/23: Steven calls Jeremy and secretly tapes him.
Then Crowder releases his little hit piece, lambasting the "contract" without mentioning that it was not a final offer but just a starting point. He cherry picked out certain contract provisions designed to share or mitigate risk, some of which were provisions I would personally disagree with as a little excessive, and which might have been inserted or exaggerated purely to be "traded away". I don't do business that way, but it's a standard business practice. Nothing wrong whatsoever with the DW doing it.
Crowder is a fucking baby. An idiot child. He doesn't seem to understand how the concept of negotiation works. His ego couldn't handle getting offered what he thought he deserved as a 1st offer, to the point where he got emotional and unprofessional about it.
Crowder's attacks on the DW amount to r-antiwork bullshit.
And yes, Crowder did the supremely scumbag move of knifing his fellow conservatives and friends in the back and trying to damage their reputation, all so he could generate hype, drama, and views for his new project launch.
I stopped reading at Crowder solicited a job offer. He did not
Yes, he did, through his agent. Agents act on behalf of their principal. The DW offer was not an unsolicited offer.
If Crowder was stupid enough to say "I didn't solicit the offer" - because his agent did - he's even more of an idiot child than I thought.
Jeremy Boering literally said in his response video he contacted Crowder's agent first.
False. I watched the video. Timestamp it. link me a "copy url at current time" to the park of Boering's video where he says he contacted Crowder's agent 1st.
Ben Shapiro said very clearly that Crowder's agent reached out to DW to solicit an offer. This is also something he and others at the DW have written specifically in tweets.
Not sure why you think it matters, but why would DW be sending Crowder an unsolicited offer when Crowder had not announced he was leaving his current job yet? How would they even know he was looking for work?
Has Crowder even claimed the offer was unsolicited? Yes or no? If you can't point to proof he has, then back off and stop trying to pick stupid fights because your brain doesn't function correctly and you jumped to stupid assumptions, then you want to attack me as wrong based on your stupid assumptions.
