Within the past few days Steven Crowder has expressed his concerns with a contract he was presented by the daily wire.
This has sparked lots of controversy and infighting within conservative political discourse.
The contract stated that he would be making $50 mil in 4 years so long as he makes at least 192 episodes per year and give them the right to cut his funding if he fails to reach the contracts expectations.
He then claimed it was unjust as the contract depends upon his presence on big tech platforms to make a profit which concedes to their censorious platform for them to make a positive return on investment.
I believe the contract is bad based on this premise alone, as nobody should sign a contract to potentially lose money if you don’t adhere to what tech overlords deem to be appropriate for their platform.
However, the daily wire is a business and it makes it counterintuitive to attempt to sign a huge contract to someone while not attempting to make a return on investment which coincides receiving ad revenue on these platforms. I believe some aspects of the daily wire are out of touch with what the right wants as it pertains to opposing big tech leniency in all facets since they’re primarily focused on profit.
