"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 pay structure was literally worse than what you'd see in Hollywood too.
In Hollywood, only the absolute 0.001% of top talent gets residuals. Almost every actor is being paid a flat rate.
If the movie flops, they still get paid. The studio assumes all the risk. If the movie is a runaway success, well, they still get paid the same.
If you're that 0.001% of top talent, and the movie flops... you still get paid. The studio still assumes all the risk. If the movie is a runaway success, they get paid a LOT.
NOBODY is signing a movie contract where if the movie flops, you don't get paid, and if the movie is a runaway success, then you only get paid whatever it was that you get paid. Even the lowliest actors get paid scale.
Daily Wire wants 95% of the risk dumped on their talent, and they want to pocket 95% of the success. If all of their contracts are like this, then it means if Daily Wire gets completely Alex Jones'd, their expenses for their talent drops to only about 5% / person. But they'd still be getting money from DW+ subs. How does that make fucking sense? Am I supposed to believe 95% of their revenue is from ads? I seriously fucking doubt that. Even then, advertisers will still pay to advertise to the shitton of DW+ subscribers.
