I actually got in an argument with a relative in 2020 over this. They claimed he always had one I preceded to show clip after clip from each decade of his political career without a stutter…. And like the mascot of their political party they said “hee-haaaaaaw” and continued to act like a jackass about it.
I would lump Candace Owens reaction as a drama vortex. She seamed unhinged and went very personal very quickly which is funny considering Steven started this off without naming anyone. And even after the attacks he has said nice things about Klaven, Peterson, and Shapiro. Doesn’t matter that people speculated it was them it could just as well had been fox, tpusa, oan, newsmax, etc.
And their resistance appears to be what crowder has a problem with. Sure with unknown talent there are risks. But crowder really isn’t an unknown. They were willing to put up 50 mil over 4 years for him and he had a subscriber base a third of the size of their whole network. And they are worried about being demonetized on YouTube despite the ad reads and subs being like 95% of the income. And that would go for the younger talent Crowder was voicing concern over getting that same crap deal.
And Rekeita has pointed out on his live stream that sure you give an offer lower than what you expect to agree to when negotiating but you don’t go so low you insult the person you are offering it to. That kills any chance of them doing business together and kind of makes you wonder if it was even a serious offer in the first place.
His point though is that envelope is moved constantly and arbitrarily to deplatform conservatives. And penalizing talent for telling the truth is not something the right should be doing. YouTube ad revenue is nothing compared to what they make in ad reads and DW+ subs and Crowder knows this and he knows they know this and he knows they know they know this. But it’s still their boiler plate entry terms.
Every time crowder got a strike or a suspension mug club subscriptions sky rocketed. And he was already not making anything off ad revenue and under their offer they’d punish him for it and get the entirety of mug club sales. They know it’s a bad deal for the talent.
Agreed own the libs purchases are a silly endeavor. But negative press could just as easily be fueling someone who had no prior interest in the game to look at it and becoming interested in it. Personally when I first saw it I thought it looked better than any other Harry Potter game (low bar I know). If I end up getting it it’s more of a this looks fun. Lefties getting upset over game sales data is just a happy side effect.
Or they saw the game when it was announced and thought, “hey that looks kind of neat I might buy it.” And now all the crazy leftist are losing it over this game and now it’s like buying this game will be fun regardless if the game is actually fun.
A lot of the DW people who are commenting on this keep saying something along the lines of “this was the opening offer, you are supposed to negotiate….and he was your friend why did you record him?”
Well friends do not offer friends incredibly low and stupid contracts as a starting point…. And why not record a phone call you intend to talk business on?
I like that they keep emphasizing $50 million is what they offered him but that would have been 50 million over four years and mug club brings in like 30 million a year which they would get if he signed the contract and not him on top of all the poison pills for demonitization and if he missed shows due to illness. That 50mil over 4 years wouldn’t go straight into crowders pockets either. he has his own staff and contractors to pay on top of payroll tax and facilities maintenance.
What the fuck are you talking about? So 2 opposite groups oppose the same thing so they must be the same. Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid? You mean the evangelicals who are pretty big on wives submitting to their husbands and no women with leadership positions within the church? Since when have you become pro porn? You know the industry where women are paid significantly more than men? Evangelicals also does not = white nationalist. What did evangelicals sell young men out for a promise for again? What fucking power dude? And traitor? Dude no one was ever on your side. What is it like being so confident about subjects you know nothing about and wrong about almost everything?
Could be FOX or some other as well. The redacted parts of the contract he showed looked like it was three letters. So if it’s the daily wire they would be using TDW on their contracts. It would be weird for them to offer him such a crap deal since they had always appeared cordial appearing on each others shows.
I think you are thinking of Owen Benjamin and he has lost it. Sven held up a piece of paper with an an acronym on it that people believe says crowder doesn’t pay well and he was fired for it. This was several years ago
Catalyst games labs are the current licensee of battletech and at the time that list was made they had not canceled Blaine. It needs updating they have them as yellow for shadowrun stuff
