Non-binding

It wouldn't have been non binding if he agreed to it. This term sheet semantics bull shite is pathetic. Tons of lawyers calling out this talking point from the DW you guys keep parroting. Try and seek out some analysis from people other than Crowder or the DW maybe.

All you daily wire simps are being just as disingenuous as Shapiro.

IF Crowder brings half of the 400k he claimed to have, Daily Wire is getting their money's worth from subs alone. If Crowder gets demonetized in that situation not only does DW still have the sub money, they would be fining Crowder and clawing that money back they paid him. I don't understand why y'all keep ignoring this. It would have been a lot better deal if DW would have offered a revenue split. DW makes more, then Crowder makes more.


DW was willing to pay more...

Haha you don't know anything

For one thing, he didn't HAVE to sign it. The point of it is to lay out the terms in a clear and organized way so you don't have to navigate a long, winding legal document

And no, he wouldn't have been bound to shite if he had signed the first draft of it like a moron

I have never heard of a binding term sheet before.

Just Googled it. Only confidentiality and exclusivity (latter doesn't apply anyway) would be "binding" but that's a far cry from the supposed slavery Crowder claims to have been staring down if he signed it.

I am barely following this but you are mischaracterizing Crowder’s stance. Crowder is calling them hypocritical for writing clauses into their contracts that make those who work for the DW beholden to big tech’s fascist policies, the very policies DW makes bank railing against.


If you're barely following this, then it stands to reason that you barely know what's going on with it. Crowder's "stance" is completely erroneous. They have their own platforms to do and say whatever they want. But on those where they can't, you cannot promise to pay a person a certain amount of money, when he can't promise that he'll bring in the revenue to justify it.

This idea that we're just gonna "stick it to the man" or "stick it to big tech" by going in with guns blazing, is an ignorant and short-sighted view of what we're up against. If you want to build something that can ACTUALLY compete with the major news and entertainment corporations, and not just laugh it up with your echo chamber, you have to have money in order to build the infrastructure necessary to do that. The people at DW, though I don't agree with all of them all the time, have faced tons of censorship, and fought back. They'd fight for Crowder. But they can't guarantee anything on platforms that are so volatile for conservatives. They do not have "screw you" money to just throw around at people to show how "tough" they are in standing up to big tech. That would be irresponsible.

Crowder doesn't know anything about running a business. He just wants to yell and curse, and be surrounded by people who laugh at his jokes, and just let other people figure out a way to cover his losses, if something goes wrong, it seems. Again, he can do that on his own platform. He's not going to have near the outreach, however, if he loses his Youtube audience. Same goes for everyone at DW. Youtube, and other big tech media is where they get their collective foot in the door. Because big tech owns so much of everything on the internet, you can't expect to beat them, if you aren't willing to use their own tools against them. And you can't use their own tools against them if you are behaving recklessly and getting banned from everything. Crowder knows this. But he pretends that DW is caving to big tech, when everyone knows how this game is played. And yes, there is always the chance that you get banned for no real reason. We all live in that world. but none of us would want to pay someone for something they aren't doing, regardless of why they aren't doing it. If you invest in a stock, and you see that stock failing, you sell before you lose everything you put in. Because you don't invest with the idea of getting nothing in return, or losing money.

But everyone in Crowder's corner is really missing one other very key thing: This was a term sheet. Everything was open to negotiation. If Crowder lost revenue in one place, they would work with him to make up for it somewhere else. Because they want to succeed, and that means they wanted him to succeed.

I see Crowder doing more of the second thing. Crowder spent a week talking about “fighting for the little guy” when for the past however many years, all he has done that has made any sort of societal impact is debate college kids over hot-button social issues at a folding table. Oh, and he yelled at Trigglypuff that one time.

You missed my obvious point. I am barely following, yet Crowder was clear enough in his point for me to understand.

Are their other monetary factors, like Crowder having to pay for his own show/staff with his salary? Sure.

But that doesn’t mean we have to mischaracterize his other main arguments.

You're right it was open to negotiation, but the problem is it started from a bad faith position from DW. Crowder was ALREADY demonetized on YouTube. There have also already been a few creators that have alluded to the DW making bad offers. They just didn't take it personal like Crowder.

That said, since the DW is trying to paint this like Crowder mistreating a "friend", they made an awfully shitty offer to a "friend". Why even start from that term sheet if admittedly Jeremey expected some of those things to get removed?

DW does good work. Crowder does good work. DW is funded by billionaire Romney conservatives. Crowder never would have fit in.

Then all he had to do was counter that IF he accomplished that, then all the penalties in the contract are non applicable.

Instead hes stomping his feet like an entitled brat while pretending hes actually white knighting for the little guy.


DW doesnt need to be “right” for crowder to look silly here. Especially after all the years hes spent minding his P’s and Q’s on Big Tech platforms…. You know, the very thing he is now appalled to be asked to do. It’s ludicrous.

So you don't think it's an offer in bad faith when he's already demonetized from YouTube? So from the jump he's already penalized before the ink dries. Come on man. Why even put that in the term sheet?

That point has been covered already. If you dont want to believe DW when they say they would have taken it out since they didnt know his monetization status when making initial offer - then thats fine.

My point is, who knows? Because instead of finding out if they wanted to negotiate in good faith, Crowder backed out and is throwing a tantrum because a company he has no control over wouldnt give him everything he wants.

Very childish liberal mindset… or is just a sales tactic. Either way, Crowder will lose some audience and gain others. It is what it is.

If you actually believe for one second DW did not know his monetization status on YouTube, you're a fool. He's been very public about that for years. There was this thing referred to as the vox adpocalypse that maybe you've heard of.

Again, why put it in there if you are just going to take it out? Jeremy referred to Steven as a friend. Is that how you negotiate with your friends?

That's the point. From Crowder's perspective it was not in good faith for the reason I mentioned. You're only looking at this from the side of the DW and what Ben has told you clearly. shite I won't even try and defend Steven's actions how he made the video and everything since, but I stand by the fact that DW negotiated in bad faith and it was a terrible deal. Also, since DW has outed themselves they've looked just as bad as Steven between Candace and Ben making it very personal they've soured a lot of people in the middle of this who were fans of both.
