Maybe, maybe not. We’re not really in a position to say since we don’t know the figures he gets on add reads or other advertising. Either way, details like this are why this wasn’t a contract but a boiler plate terms sheet meant to start negotiate.

EDIT: Either way, this minor point is beside the fact that Crowder misrepresented DW’s position and edited both his videos to show himself in the most favorable light possible despite the facts portraying a very different picture. None of the claims he makes stands up to scrutiny. The biggest legit criticism of DW is that they should have given him more favorable terms up front given his size and ego. This hardly warrants Crowders behavior.

I’ve researched this to death. The best take on the internet is that given by Actual Justice Warrior (both videos). He’s fair, objective and thorough.
