Steven Crowder Says Why He Recorded Private Phone Call, Explains Friends VS Business
Watched the first video. Have never followed Crowder but catch the drift. I wonder if Bongino is tied to an overbearing contract that muzzles content and threatens punishment. Hannity must be. Who else?
This whole thing has ignited a war within conservative media. IMHO the money involved is becoming a problem, greed has set in. This infighting isn’t good for anyone.
And agree, these contracts remind me of the music industry where an up-and-coming talent will get ripped off on the front side of their career with no promise of ever repeating the success. So the industry makes money but not the talent.
I’m with Crowder on this.
Crowder fails to understand that if a rising star wants to keep rising, they need to be on Big Tech.
Our side does not have the platforms or infrastructure you get from a YouTube or others yet. They are working on it and one day we can tell Big Tech to kiss off.
But until then, a portion of pay is tied to being on Big Tech, so if you get demonetized, you lose some of your pay.
Shows like TimCast IRL conduct their show within Big Tech guidelines and then use their “members only” portion of the show to discuss things that would get them a strike or demonetized by Big Tech.
Crowder was petulant and burned his bridges big time with his reaction. It was NOT a contract and all he had to do was say, “not interested.”. And to record the conversation and release it as part of a marketing strategy was a real crap thing to do.
