Daily Wire seems salty for some reason

Crowder comes across as an asshole as far as disposition goes, but Daily Wire is the type to knife you in the back while having a "friendly" hand shake. Crowder probably wouldn't have been able to break this story if he were under the DW either. That contract would have made him eat a huge amount of risk for breaking a story like this.
I'm so confused why crowder and his fans (I used to be one) keep talking about how that terms sheet (not even a contract) was bad because it said if daily wire lost revenue then Crowder would also lose revenue. If he gets kicked off of platforms and can't get as revenue from them DW loses money. Why would crowder still receive the same amount of money then? If crowder didn't like the terms sheet he could have negotiated, but instead he just threw a fit. Boering even said it was just hastily put together as something generic and was the first stepping stone for negotiations. If crowder wanted he should have just negotiated a smaller flat rate regardless of cancelations and demonitizations, but then get a % of profit sharing so when he does better he gets more money. Instead crowder decided to record his friend and release it to everyone to try and make himself look like the only real conservative.
Because it most likely wouldn't be his fault. Losing money for getting canceled incentivizes you to play it safe and disincentivizes truthful coverage. DW knows the score when they're hiring a conservative podcaster, so they should be willing to eat the risk.
This was a dumb move by Crowder to burn the bridge without even making a counteroffer.
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?
