Current Events > Anyone been keeping up with the Daily Wire vs. Steven Crowder debacle?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's this kind of infighting that makes you realize how much of a grifters they are.

That shit is amazingly profitable.

With how much they claim the left love to eat their own, it has been entertaining

And ofc it's rooted in money and nit having more of it

Honestly, I'm fucking shocked Daily Wire was even able to offer Steven Crowder 50 million dollars to boot. I did more research and apparently a lot of the hosts in the Daily Wire are basically living in Mansions. These guys are fucking rolling in it, which makes the grifting accusations more and more true.

There's nothing wrong with in-fighting as it allows for the sides to keep each other in place.

But like you put it, I just find it how this whole debacle happen because of the money. Apparently Steven Crowder wanted the beginning offer at 120 million dollars and to be paid the exact amount regardless if his channel gets demonitized, kicked off youtube, or takes a break. What's funny is what was offered to him was a non-biding term sheet, which is how most business deals are made and you do a giant back and forth until you come to an agreement. He's trying to shield his real motive of money by trying to launch #stopbigcon lol.

Yeah I should've started my topic with what was happening.

Essentially, Steven Crowder, who's pretty big in the conservative/right leaning commentator world, contract with The Blaze is about to expire. So he was shopping around and got an offer from The Daily Wire (ran by Ben Shapiro) of 50 million dollars. He was apparently really upset, called it a slave contract, about it because he then shot back and said he wanted a 4 year contract for 120 million dollars and asked to be paid 100% regardless if he gets taken down, demonitized, or gets sick,etc. The Daily Wire then said they couldn't meet that demand so they went their seperate ways. Then Steven Crowder opens a #stopbigcon by likening places like the Daily Wire as the same as the Big Tech companies that are trying to censor conservative/right leaning people voices.

It's all really funny so far and I'm enjoying following every bit of it. I didn't go too much details in the contracts, but that's something you can probably look up.
