Steven Crowder: $50M Daily Wire Offer Is a “Slave Contract” #Shorts

50 million dollars? That’s practically slavery - according to Steven Crowder, at least. Crowder recently released a video starting the “Stop Big Con” initiative - accusing conservative media outlets of conspiring to censor conservative values in favor of profit. All of this because the Daily Wire offered him a contract of $50 million to make regular content - with the stipulation of pay cuts if he loses ad revenue. Crowder wasn’t a fan - saying it was a “slave contract.”
The Daily Wire quickly responded with a video - saying that Crowder took much on the contract out of context. And that they were planning on paying him the 50 million over four years and that the stipulations listed were necessary to run a profitable business. They went on to accuse Crowder of expecting millions of dollars in payment even if his show didn’t drive that level of revenue. And a couple big conservative names chimed in against Crowder - like Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens - throwing fuel on the fire of this feud.

when you want to be the victim so bad you go totally off the deep end

[ladyofwinterfell]

He never complained about the money. He didn’t reject it for the money either

[stormwulf]

The Daily Wire dodged a $50mil bullet by not signing on this sad angry manlet.

[rainman]

$50M was not his salary, that was the cost for his entire production staff and producing content

[MatthewYoink]

Yeah, this video is evidence that someone didn’t do their homework on this topic…

[rachael]

I read the contract and no one in their right mind would sign it. 50 million would have had most people fooled into signing. He read it.

[whiteheat]

“Wage slave” was Jeremy’s term, not Steven’s. Stop misrepresenting the situation

[rohatmora]

Steven didn’t reject because of the money, he rejected because the contract itself was bad and harmful to new creators

[qct]

Conservatives complaining about a company that puts profit before values is some real Leperdsatemyface material

[scarycrazymann]

He's not selling out, and everyone is making him out to be the bad guy.

[Hunter_Johnson]

I remember when Franco wasn't a shill and sellout.

[TKO]

Steven made it clear that it wasn’t about the money. It was being beholden to sponsors and their censorship.

[finderskeepers]

Its not about the money… its about sending a message.

[FanOfTheSky]

Nothing says I’m humble like turning down to $50 million contract

[anthonybriseno]

Isn’t that dude who yelled at his pregnant wife to walk the dog??

[danielkirby]

Steven doesn't claim it's a slave contract. Jeremy did

[bez]

Bit awkward, considering that Crowder mocked Colin Kaepernick for saying NFL contracts were slave contracts.

[goodolrainbowpet]

Crowder was on timcast earlier and actually explained his side and when you hear his side it actually gets more interesting

[dillonostrum]

$50 million for full production with a 100% chance that almost half the money would be cut when YouTube starts throwing more strikes without reason

[Stranger_Than_Fiction]

Wasn't a contract. It was a term sheet. A list of issues with starting points to negotiate. They hadn't asked him to sign anything because they had not negotiated anything to sign. And 5O million was a starting offer to get their foot in the door, they knew it would go up, but they couldn't go as high as SC wanted so negotiations ended, the website BIG CON was created, and a week before the video was posted SC recorded a phone call with his friend Jeremy Boring to slice and dice for a second video. By the time SC started the drama- he had the term sheet three months, the website for one month and had already set up for the second video he was going to do. It was all a very premeditated attack over a "contract" that wasn't.
