[0 fucks given about downvotes, I know this sub hates Ben Shapiro and the DW. I routinely speak truth to those who don't want to hear it on Reddit, lol.]
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 baby. 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. "slave contract" for $50 million. Riiiiight.
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. Secretly recording a phone call made under false pretenses is a mega scumbag move.
boycotts almost always completely fail. ADVERTISER boycotts are a very NEW thing brought about thanks to the woke long march through the institutions, where the internal woke insurgents can boost the boycott pressure massively and trigger their company to boycott Twitter, for example, even though it makes absolutely no business sense to do so.
in the 1980s, 90s, 00s, and even 10s boycotts, as a rule, were a joke. They aren't now. Now they can be potentially dangerous, but only when the Left does it, thanks to the power of their corporate infiltrators.
I agree. These kinds of deals are always very risky because there are too many unknowns until there is a developed track record, which Crowder doesn't have yet.
So people need to fight back, instead of just surrendering.
As you told me to do to the Reddit admins. The difference is that I had 0 power to do any sort of fighting back. My long-term plan was to censor stuff when they turned the heat up, and then loosen when they lost interest and/or attention. Unfortunately, they just kept ratcheting up so we never got to loosening.
KIA 2 is still up though, right? Why didn't you just make another account?
It's still up, and in fact, unprivated (but pls don't bring your stalkers to the place).
Eh, didn't see a need for it.
What stalkers? What do you mean? I don't even have a live reddit account right now. The trannies be wildin and they've banned like 3 accounts of mine in a row. They get like this sometimes. They aggressively hound my accounts and manually hunt them for a couple weeks.
So basically I just won't go on reddit for like a week, then make a new account that doesn't have "dekachiin" in the name, and get up and running again. I don't post much anymore though because it's basically pointless. The whole site is so lost to the libtard trannies that my contributing valuable content is only helping them. Eventually I'm going to need to make a Youtube channel, but I'm too lazy to learn the minimum video editing skills and get assets and stuff. Maybe after I finish some cases and have more free time to shitpost I'll start making videos to shit on the libs.
