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.
If Tom Brady wants to come play for your team and you offer him a contract that even a fucking rookie would balk at, why the fuck should he waste his time and money "negotiating"?
If you went to go buy a car that you know is worth around $30K, and the salesman immediately begins trying to sell it to you for $75K with a 12% APR finance option, are you going to waste your time dealing with this slimeball or are you going to walk?
That a """""friend""""" would insult you so openly and brazenly with a garbage offer means he isn't actually a friend, he's a fucking asshole.
Daily Wire couldn't even fucking bother to write him a custom contract. If they did, half of that shit in that contract wouldn't have still been in there, because they would KNOW he's already demonetized on Youtube. But they left that garbage in there, because they. didn't. fucking. care.
A friend would care enough to at least start around what you're actually worth, and at least bother to put in more than six seconds of effort to build something functional to work from. Boering couldn't be bothered to do that, he was too busy looking at the digits in his bank account.
Why is it that you hand friction enthusiasts always defend the DW's bullshit awful opening offer as 'a negotiation point', but then you turn around and scream that Crowder is a thieving greedy primadonna grifter with his counter-offer? Funny how your defense of negotiations only goes one way.
Also, it's funny how Crowder's entire fucking point is that this wasn't even about money. It was about Daily Wire enslaving up-and-comers to trash contracts, like a sleazy record company in the 90s, and choking them for shekels.
