Over the span of 4 years.

$12.5 million a year for Crowder is more than he's worth IMO. It's not a low ball offer, and Boering said he expected to go higher. Crowder's counter of $30 million per year was absurd and caused the DW to walk away because it was unworkable.

Also, it's pretty much a budget.

Crowder's show is a low budget podcast where he just talks. Idk what kind of budget you think that requires, but it has to be well under $1m per year even if he hired more staff than he needs.

That DW can take from him if his social media (that he no longer controls) gets punished.

DW offered to buy ownership of his official, not personal, social media presence. They did not "control" it other than to monetize it. He still controlled his content and what he said.

And DW has every right to guard against the possibility that Crowder might "go full Kanye" and self immolate his brand, especially if his contract said that DW bears all the risk of that and Crowder still gets his full paycheck. It's a perverse incentive to misbehave. Crowder doesn't misbehave now. He is very careful to keep his big Youtube channel up. So is Crowder doing the evil work of big tech now by censoring himself? Yes. He's a hypocrite.

Also, this fly-by-night contract is completely in DW's favor despite Crowder bringing more fans to DW than vice verse.

I get that Crowder thinks that. I get that you are blindly parroting it from him without knowing the true facts.

Clearly, Crowder thought he was worth $30m/yr and DW thought he was worth maybe half that. The market will decide who was right. However, it is still a scumbag move for Crowder to knife the DW to try to line his own pockets.

I'm not doing a play-by-play because it's already clear you're either a shill or a fucking moron.

"I'm too immature to disagree with someone who doesn't like a guy I'm a fanboi of without being an angry little asshole about it"

grow up.

Arguing with a fool makes two. There's no point trying to reason with someone like you who clearly lacks any principles as dumping enough money is enough to convince you to sign on the dotted line. If I wanted to piss up ropes, I'd get in touch with my ex-.

You're a stupid little faggot who clearly hasn't even the slightest idea of what it costs to run a business with 30 employees.

Go deep fry something for the next guy at the drivethrough, wagie.

yawn, stupid little faggot

blocked, go be autistic to someone else "waaah someone said something I don't agree with and IM SO ANNNGRRRYRYRYRYRY SO I need to call him names so he can get his feelings hurt like mine were reading his comment!!!" lol child.

Crowder doesn't need 30 employees to sit at his desk and bullshit about current events, which is what anyone can see his youtube channel consists of.

I don't think he has 30 employees. I don't know if he said he did, probably not since all you losers on here sucking his dick like to make up bullshit. However, even if true, most of them are probably "interns" and he probably pays them little to nothing. I guess it's possible for him to work with a lot of part time contractors and pay them for piece work, then lie and claim them to be employees when they're not, to inflate the number.

I have common sense. Joe Rogan does more than what Crowder does and only has 1 guy, Jamie, yet he manages just fine.

Funny because Candice Owens said that Boreing valued Crowder and his show at $90 million, or $22.5M/year. She had to have gotten that info directly from Boreing because she was clearly briefed ahead of her appearance on Timcast IRL.

I don't think she was "clearly briefed" and I don't think she's in any position to know what the DW's limit would be. I don't think anyone except Boering and Shapiro would know that information. Candace Owens is not at the top of the DW, she's just "talent".
