It is not a terrible contract but where steven gets dinged is on control and ownership of HIS show and the entire penalty fee based upon censorship by platforms, it only hinders creativity when someone like that signs up with a shill company. Plus does he have full control over his staff and can the wire fire people like Gerald or Dave just because they say something they do not like.
Then why would any one sign this deal its a bad deal. If a sponsor does not like something either they can pull themselves. This does create a situation where you are beholden to other companies for you speech. He is better off on his own creating his own thing as he is larger and has more viewers of the Daily WIre, he just needed their infrastructure. Which is something he should have been doing all this time since he knew a few years ago the Blaze partnership he had was going to end. Plus the daily wire is a bunch of fucking homos. Crowder is not much better but he at least has some standards.
