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.
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.
