What was the drama?
I did not follow it since I stop watching them some time ago.
When Crowder left Blaze, DW offered him a shitty contract that gave them control over pretty much everything plus huge finanical penalties if Big Tech censored him- could drop his "lucrative" deal to like 5% of what was offered, and that's the total money they were given to produce his show and play everyone involved.
Crowder did a video protecting DW's identity while criticising Big Con contracts (he even said this was standard among Big Con even if people did figure out who), DW's CEO did a 1 hr video trying to justify the contract, then they sicced every DW host onto Crowder- Candace Owens was just nasty calling Crowder a grifter (lol, takes one to know one), his audience stupid, etc while Matt Walsh licked all the DW choad.
Then Crowder released a clip of a phone call w/ DW CEO (a bad move IMO) yesterday while Ownens was on Beanie Man attacking Crowder left and right.
funny way of writing "they offered him $50 million dollars".
Yes, they were offering to buy his brand... for $50 million. Buying entails ownership. They didn't control his show, though, only the monetization.
The contract stated that if he was demonetized/banned for an extended period of time, his payment would be reduced. Why? Because DW monetizes through those platforms so they'd lose money, and they obviously aren't going to pay $50 million when they can't make that money back because he went full Kanye.
Yes if he got banned everywhere. Sure. And? Then don't sign the contract if you plan on getting yourself banned everywhere like Kanye, though even Kanye isn't banned from Youtube.
Considering his show is just him talking like a podcast, I can't imagine his overhead is large. He's not filming a Netflix series.
No, he didn't. He did everything but say the DW name, and everyone who watched it immediately knew he was referring to the DW.
except no, because he did not identify or criticize any other contracts or offer, he only singled out the DW.
false. The immediate reaction from the DW was only 2 things:
Ben Shapiro being very nice about it and saying it's sad/disappointing but he wishes Crowder the best and considers him a friend
Boering making a youtube video just going through the written offer to give context about how it isn't such a nasty thing, and also being very friendly towards Crowder
THEN CROWDER DROPPED THAT HE SECRETLY RECORDED BOERING ON A PERSONAL non-business PHONE CALL WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT AS A SET UP.
THAT is what caused the rest of the DW hosts to come out swinging. Mega scumbag escalation move by Crowder.
yeah they're both grifters.
Nope. You got your timeline mixed up. I follow them all on twitter so I saw it. No one at the DW was doing jack shit to attack Crowder until after he dropped the bombshell of the recorded call. You purposely flipped the order of that to make Crowder seem like he was defending himself. Bullshit. Crowder has been the aggressor here every single step.
$50 million is dogshit. $50 million included him paying all of his staff and producing all of the content. $50 million is an insanely lowball offer. He can't run his production with that number.
Yes, and they also assumed almost no risk from the production of the show. Because that was all on Crowder with that measly $12.5M/year.
His entire point was that that business model fucking sucks, you stupid cunt. He and The Blaze managed to make his show work with almost zero advertising and no monetization on Youtube. Now magically with the DW, he gets less money, he has to shill scams like Birch Gold, and it comes with 'btw if you don't lick Youtube boot we steal all your money'? lmao go fuck yourself.
And he does a ton of high-production value videos, including skits, music events, etc. He goes out and does Change My Views that require a lot of security and setup. He even dropped $250,000 of his own money on a fucking Christmas giveaway every single year.
That's DW's fault.
lmao eat shit. Boering basically made the equivalent of a rookie contract to Tom fucking Brady who wanted to come play for his team.
Crowder probably estimated his value at around $90-100M. When someone comes in with a stupidly insulting bullshit offer like $50M, it's a hostile negotiation. You shouldn't have to then counter-offer at one hundred and fifty fucking percent just to get these shekel-pinching dickshits to even begin to talk about meeting you halfway where you have to be.
So fucking what, you lickspittle cuntswabs don't have a problem when Project Veritas does it.
You mean besides Boering's bullshit hour-long video claiming that enslaving Crowder was 'doing him a favor'?
You don't know what his payroll costs. I know a lot about small business numbers through my litigation work. His payroll should be well under $1 million, insignificant compared to the offer price.
Have you watched his show? He literally just sits at a desk, alone, and gives his commentary on current events. Why do you think this is some kind of expensive operation requiring dozens of people? He only needs like 3-5 people max, and that's if he just wants to save himself the time so he just needs to show up and bullshit.
He uses that busniess model right now on his Youtube channel he posts to daily. "You stupid cunt." lol reply over
