The thing is DW already has content on YouTube that they themselves censor because it still gets them money and can get part of their message out. They then plug their content that is behind the paywall that is uncensored. Michael Knowles littlerally bleeps every time he says trans when they put their content on YouTube. DW got this idea from Crowder that wouldn't say stuff that would get him kicked off YouTube but then he would say at the end of every show if you want to hear our uncensored content come to mug club and YouTube you can piss off.
They are doing the exact same thing, but somehow DW is the bad guy?
So you're trying to say that Crowder is a hypocrite because he self-censors? That seems to be relevant but it's actually not: the point is you should not penalize a creator for getting canceled. That implies the cancellation could be legitimate when the whole sum of our experience proves they never are.
If you don't like the risk then just offer them less money from the get go. Dangle a higher salary over people's heads and I promise they will try even harder to avoid getting canceled. Guess what happens to their content?
If crowder got canceled and he lost 30% of his audience DW would be making less money. Why would Crowder also then not make less money? It has nothing to do with the veracity of the claims by YT which we all know they are partisan hacks. DW employs many people so they can't make dumb business decisions and put the livelihood of their employees and their families at risk. If DW wrote up a contract that would say if Crowder makes us no money we will still pay him 60 million dollars, they would be idiots.
If Crowder didn't like that part of the term sheet he could have just negotiated, but he didn't. He decided to record his friend and burn all his bridges with DW and try to pit conservatives against each other for his own benefit.
Because Daily Wire can absorb the hit and should stand by their talent. Also, the long term impact of cancellation is often much less painful than the short term.
Oh please lol. As I said, just offer him less money commensurate with the calculated risk.
There's no telling how much booster money has poured into the DW either.
Crowder said 60 million was too low. You're an idiot if you think DW should make contracts that would open them up to losing money on their shows. DW does stand by their talent, they don't fire them and still pay them what they are able to. Other companies that don't stand by their talent fire them due to the pressure of the woke mob.
If you were writing contacts for your own business would you write in the contract if an employee is no longer able to make you money that you would still pay them? DW is a business, not a charity.
And again, Crowder could have negotiated but he refused to.
There is clearly no getting through to you.
Crowder makes far more in a year than what the daily wire was offering for 4 and he does it with less ad runs by far. They weren't going to lose shit
