"Gang, we're fighting big tech and fighting for free speech by setting up this subscription model, gang."
"Gang, Crowder has a huge paying audience he can bring to our subscription service but we need to punish him on behalf of big tech if he uses his free speech gang. This is how business works, gang- my wife is a doctor"
"Ok gang Crowder is our friend, which is why we gave him a shitty, controlling boilerplate offer, gang."
"How could Crowder betray us, his friends gang, by sharing our contract offer - which is totally a great offer we're super proud of, gang?"
I don't agree with releasing the phone convo, especially because there wasn't really a big gotcha smoking gun that would justify it- but the DW mob attacking Crowder makes me glad I never signed up to DW.
The phone conversation was to demonstrate that he wasn't doing it over the money and had asked Jeremy to stop fucking over smaller people to which Jeremy replied that they should be wage slaves for a while then fuck off and restart their own shit elsewhere
TBF I don't think Jeremy was being totally serious there with the "wage slave" comment- and releasing private phone conversations to the public, especially someone you had a friendly relationship with, isn't somthing you should do willy nilly.
And I'm like 90% on Crowder's side here
Well I definitely don't think it was willy nilly. Also consider that SC has been fighting the good fight against big tech for at least six years when they really started tightening the screws on him. So for a "friend" to propose something like this is laughable at best and insidious at worst. DW KNOWS that YouTube and Facebook and Twitter have each struck Crowder on many occasions even when there is no clear violation of their ToS. Even if what he did was OFF PLATFORM. They just do it arbitrarily. Sometimes they even retract it after he appeals. So SC would be staring down six figure penalties constantly even if he didn't do anything wrong. DW KNOWS his history and put this in there anyway??? They're either retarded (they aren't) or incredibly sleazy. If running afoul of Big techs arbitrarily enforced and defined rules is such a big deal to them, knowing what they know about SCs history with them, DW should never have even given an offer.
