50mil isn't enough to sign away his brand and his name. Most of what he was saying was to small creators, telling them to stay away from contracts like that.

Enjoy your content! Thanks for exposing the truth and staying independent!

[SirWiggy]

I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, but I appreciate you always giving an honest take.

[josephjoestar]

I think the biggest takeaway from Crowders message was that you can't speak out against the woke tech giants with these contracts.

The one point I think is being missed is that 50 million was to pay for the entire show and all of the production. Daily wire was not going to pay for the production of the show outside of that 50 million number. It’s not like that money was just going straight to crowder, he had to pay for staff, Co hosts, expenses, taxes. All things that add up very fast.

Something I’ve always found unique about you and your channel Mr. Dice, is the fact that you actually read your comments. I’ve seen you like and respond to numerous comments on all of your videos. You actually care about your fan base.

Crowder said he wants to stay independent so he can keep his freedom of speech. 😎

[savagereason]

The part in crowders address where he said something like: “have you wondered in your gut why a lot of conservative voices haven’t been pushing the envelope…” that hit hard and makes total sense now. Good on him for trying to elevate conservative media’s standards !

[pstrzel]

I just listened to Crowder and my takeaway was not his focus on the expense of penalties, but the control given the Big Tech companies and content self-moderation so as not to be censored and punished.

[seandelap]

This is exactly why you should always stay independent like Mark Dice because working for a company regardless of who it is will make you comprised in some way

[hangmantx]

Don't ever sell out Mark! Your one of the few that gives it to us straight!

[YourDadVR]

Thanks! I appreciate your honesty on the Steven Crowder & DailyWire fiasco.

[swampcritterisbackbaby]

The problem is, Mark, he would not really be getting 12 mil a year because he has been demonetized.
He would already be starting with a large penalty.

[usaflambert]

Thanks Mark. I’ve been watching your content for over ten years now and I will say, you have always been transparent and consistent. Oh, and you’re usually out in front of all other conservative commentators on every news subject. Keep up the great work!

[RaginMjolnir]

You fail to take into account that this 65k per episode is not his personal salary. That's for his entire production team, and all the costs associated with it.

[woofy]

The other issue is the Daily Wire would control his social media, and make him abide by big tech's censorship rules.

[gregorymoore]

This makes me want to see Mark, Steven, and Ben all in a room together discussing this very topic together.

[fabiodriven]

I really don't care about the monetary aspect. What I care about is how The Daily Wire doesn't report on anything groundbreaking. They refuse to cover the most important things happening in the world right now. That's way more important to me than anything having to do with money.

[shtay]

Daily wire censors their employees is his biggest issue .

[cguzman]

Mark you are worth more than 12 million dollars. Your content is truthful and to the point. Love you buddy!
