Quoted: You don't get it. DW is not their own advertiser. They have outside companies buying ad spots. DW would make money from Crowder's videos/social media. DW would have exclusive content from Crowder on day 1. You would have to sub to get access to that. If Crowder got banned, he'd be making DW less money. If Crowder has guaranteed money from DW, he's more likely to not worry about that revenue from Youtube, Spotify, and Apple. If Crowder's compensation is aligned with DW's, then everyone is aimed in the same direction. Of course Shapiro is thinking about hiring someone in order to make more money. That's the whole point of hiring. Are you from communist Russia? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So if Crowder brings in less money, he'll get paid less money? Why should the company take all the risk? Ostensibly, Daily Wire is "building a conservative movement" they don't need social media platforms for money because they have subscribers. But in his contract if Crowder was ever banned from YouTube he loses 20% of his contract, another 20% from apple podcast, 10% from Spotify, 10% from Facebook. So 40% of his money is gone overnight for being deplatformed, something Jeremy and Shapiro are "fighting against" And when conservatives were getting deplatformed Shapiro would direct people to his platform to pay him a membership fee Nothing like making money off other people while his team play everything on the safe side Let's play out the scenario: Daily Wire owns their own platform. They are largely their own advertisers via products, but also have revenue stream from subscribers. Crowder gets banned. He has a massive audience. They now flock to the Daily Wire Platform to watch Crowder. Those who aren't already subscribed now have an incentive to subscribe. Not all, but some. Shapiro makes more money. Crowder gets screwed.

It's rich seeing people who have such an elementary understanding of the world start to invoke to invoke things like "muh communism" when they've clearly never read Marx. Nice and programmed mouthpiece for the same people who are inflicting all the ills you complain about. What we're talking about is a company who claims to have a particular set of moral principles, who then engages in incredibly predatory tactics. If you take any of the individual components of the contract, as a form of risk mitigation that is fairly excusable. But when you take them as a whole, it is the same disgusting predatory behavior we complain about from the likes Hollywood. |

So a big company is telling him if he wants to be a martyr to be a martyr on his own dime? If big company is not making money off his content they are going to pay him less? This seems less about big company agreeing with Youtube/Google/Facebook and more about them telling him not to get caught.

What kind of job do you have where nothing matters and you can fly by the seat of your ass? View Quote Let’s put this another way for you. You have a company with $100,000 in monthly sales (subscriptions) I have a company with $90,000 in monthly sales (subscriptions) you and I also pull in some ad revenue. We want to merge and make a better company. After the merger we sit at $190,000 a month, I suddenly lose my own ad revenue because of censorship. Now our contract says you’re entitled to 85% of my subscription fees, and you own my likeness. That is a terrible contract that no one should sign in the first place. What makes it substantially worse is that your $100,000 a month came from telling rubes you vehemently oppose censorship. Apparently not enough to stop lining your pockets when it happens to your employees. |

They latch on to new conservative voices, monetize them, corporatize them, and then snip off their balls, and so a few years later they become indistinguishable from mushy mealy mouth “conservatives” spouting off bullshit like a path to citizenship and compassionate conservatism. |

I don't see the issue here. Kinda seems like Crowder is the one going after the money. The contract doesn't stop him from doing things, he just gets paid less. If he's all about getting the word out and not money, he would sign the contract. Seems like he wants someone else to spend the money for a money losing business.
Or he could rebuild. Do a GoFundMe for startup capital and build his base again which shouldn't take too long. He's not going to make much money being demonetized. But if it's about getting the word out then it shouldn't matter. |

On the one hand, if you aren't making money for your employer, why should you be making money...
...but in this case any conservative personality on the internet that does their job of exposing the left too well gets demonetized and/or completely de-platformed. Crowder has a point, if you do your job well enough you will be locked into a contract that has penalized you down to 5-15% of your salary with no out(that I'm aware of). That's fucking insane and anyone looking to actually stick it to the left in any kind of effective manner would never agree to that. Not with what we have seen Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter pull against conservatives in the past. He's also absolutely right that this does a great job of showing the big tech companies and advertisers that things like bans, demonetization, and advertising boycotts will work. Especially when all the things that they dock your salary for seem to come in waves. |

I have to think that was his existing contract. He's been demonetized for years on YouTube and get's banned all the time.
I listen to Chad Prather as well and he dances around the saying the clot shot a lot. If that is a current contract it's laughable especially in this day and age where you can get canceled for making fun of the cunt that married into the royal family, saying there might be an issue with the vaccine or that an election is questionable. Someone mentioned ownership of his content and social media. No fucking way I would sign that shit away. I saw what they did to Prince. His best option is to go out on his own. If Anthony Cumia could do it, Crowder can do it. |

People sure seem to be in a hurry to lick the leather of the boots on their neck.
It is a bad contract for Crowder, or really anyone. Which is the point of the video. It would amount to Crowder selling his business since the contract notes they "Unknown Company" now owns all his merchandising and other rights. In exchange for giving up all of his rights to everything he has created he gets to deal with the fun of having to: 1. Avoid talking about anything controversial. The only reason "Unknown Company" cares about social media revenue is that they now own those channels per the contract. 2. He is talking about signing up with a subscription based service. As in if i want to see the content I, as a consumer, have to pay a certain amount of money per month. If I pay 25 bucks a month, or an amount per year to watch Crowder on "Unknown Platform" and tomorrow Crowder suffers a heart attack I can choose to stop subscribing, or just wait until his content resumes. These are typically monthly or yearly subscriptions. However lets say Crowder has a heart attack, goes to the ER, and spends a week under observation. He misses 1 show. Per the contract that week in the hospital is going to cost him 700k (100k a day) in penalties. I don't know what kind of weird ass version of capitalism you live under but i've never had a boss send me a bill for time i spent in the hospital. Usually its a get well soon, and goodbye to a chunk of my PTO. 3. Change how he handles advertisements. Crowder apparently does one advertisement at the beginning. He likes doing that. Trying to name drop a bunch of random products is a PITA. But first this post brought to you by 17 Leeches Who Want to Over Promise and Under Deliver. Are you mad about thing? Give us money! Now back to the post but first a word from our sponsor... While Crowder knows this is a terrible deal many people may not. He is likely pissed at discovering the people he thought were on the same side as him are actively working against conservative interests. Conservatives were told to build their own platforms. When they did those platforms became just as bad as the original platforms. In my opinion it is not accidental. Anyone with the ability, and passion who could get enough of a base to be a successful is likely snapped up early in an oppressive contract to dilute their brand all while being under the complete control of a larger corporate body they cannot escape if they ever do manage to make it big. Same problem we have in Washington DC. You either sell your soul, or get marginalized and your enemies funded in the next election cycle to make sure the only people with any real voice are controlled. |

It absolutely does when you see the more realistic picture of top vs. bottom. What NPR and Ben Shapiro agree on is that you're too stupid/ignorant/uneducated to have meaningful say in government. The "right" sort of people should be making decisions, and that ain't you. Shapiro drinks from the same polluted water that NPR does, hence him gargling authoritarian balls about lockdowns, vaccine mandates, NeverTrumpig, etc. He's an establishment stooge because he has the same conceit the rest of them do. |
