Prior to watching this... my $.02. SC handled this poorly. Regardless of HOW horrible he thinks this proposal happens to be, it is exactly that... a proposal. It is a starting point and Steven thought it soo far off the mark, he countered with $30M year, 1 ad per show and guaranteed regardless of being booted or struck from platforms. This is a SPECTACULAR deal for SC, but HORRENDOUS for an employer. Not one person likes it, but so long as YT has 6.5M subs and is 50+% of SC's market, not IF, but "WHEN" he is permanently banned, DW or any employer will instantly lose 6.5M eye balls to the ads that would appear on his show here. Many will go to Rumble and the like, but NOT all and SC's exposure falls dramatically. DW does not like the BS rules of leftist platforms, any more than SC does. However, so long as he HAS to be on them, no employer can guarantee full salary if he is booted. It completely sucks, but nobody on this earth is going to give Crowder that deal. . SC should go to Rumble, make a deal for a LOT less than he wants, but have the creative freedom. Of course, this makes MC less valuable, so he will lose money there. SC should have kept this private, because it was obvious that DW was the offer he had. SC should have just done a show where he discussed ALL of the issues he had with it, but NOT shown the actual contract and kept it more generic. I love SC, but he made a private deal public.

@N K F D ... DING DING DING! This should have remained private, but SC make it public. SC should have just done a show on the "Basic contracts offered to creators" and gone over all this stuff, but NOT directly from a visible contract form. He could have kept it generic and vented his frustration, rather than hold onto a grudge for months and blow up friendships like this. I love SC, but certainly lost more than a little respect for him 😿

@nkfd4688 ... Exactly. This will all calm down, but there HAS been some fracturing when that is the last thing we need. The cult is laughing it up and we are bickering like school yard kids!

@unnamedminus .. Problem was, that you look at the "redaction" squares all over the place, there was no way that it could be more than 1 or 2 characters. While it is not saying it was DW, it was very clear to anyone who realizes how many players in the conservative game, that it was DW. I don't have a problem with SC taking issue and wanting a lot of stuff changed, but was how he went about it and particularly the timeline of events. This deal was dead for over 2 months and SC decides to rake his friends over the coal, when he could have just done a segment on his show just discussing how "some" of his contracts were worded. No, he was deliberately taking aim at DW, even if he did not say so by name. The fundamental issue is that 50% of LWC is tied to 6.5M on YT and he has been on the edge of perm. ban for years. Sooner or later, he WILL be banned, but he IS making money here. He is not monotized, but his MC has grown due to YT and he does his ads as well as exposure. He is worth more more money than proposal, but a) that was a starting point and b) he cannot expect to have guaranteed money, when he WILL lose YT entirely literally any day. He does not even have to do anything wrong, they will make something up, as they normally do. That is not SC's fault, nor DW's fault, but since 6.5M eyeballs are on THIS platform, when it is lost, DW would be on the hook for 50% smaller audience and 100% of the commitment to SC. This all sucks, but so long as YT is the big player, DW has to assume that they will perm delete him at any point. . Anyone who would take on SC is going to have the same concern, so nobody is going to give him the deal he wants. He needs to go to Rumble for less money but total security and then continue with MC bonus access.

@SirBlackReeds ... Technically, sure... but like DW or not.. they OWNED that proposal. It would have had less coverage for sure, had DW not responded. However, SC should have kept this private. He waited 2+ months to go scorched earth knowing that DW would be offended by his interpretation of that proposal. SC ommited enough and left enough context out (mostly the value that was a DIRECT component of the fees mentioned), as well as a few other things. Look, I like SC, I just think he handled this very poorly and will give ANYONE pause, to work with him. If he is willing to make secret recordings of phone calls with limited context and use for his video, that will send a message to others. DW, Jeremy and co. have been his friends for 10 years and that is not the way to treat a friend. I don't want to repeat myself, as I said it all above. DW deal was not good, but SC blew up his relationships over a proposal that WAS negotiable, but his terms were too high and DW bailed.
