Steven Crowder lashes out at “Big Con” of conservative media for allegedly colluding with tech companies like YouTube
Crowder: “Those in charge, the big conservative, the big con -- and it really is the biggest con going right now -- they're making it known in their contracts that they will enforce the guidelines of Big Tech and punish conservatives on their behalf”

STEVEN CROWDER (HOST): Here's the worst part - do not, kids, under any circumstances sign a contract with people who claim to be conservative but will penalize you 25% for any demonetization or sponsor boycott.
Look, let me read this to you. If any of the major platforms – no I'm sorry, that's the second one. Let me go back to the first one. There's another 20%. It's 45% if you get a content strike.
Let's start with the demonetization. If blank is boycotted or dropped by more than 50% of the advertising partners the company is not able to replace within 90 days, the fee will be reduced by 25%. That's a sponsorship boycott.
So that's saying, hey, hey, hey, liberals. Boycotts work. They work on our guys. We'll punish them for you.
Let me go on. Specifically YouTube demonetization. If any of the major platforms issues a content strike such that Crowder cannot be monetized on such platform and the company is not able to resolve the issue within 90 days, the fee will be reduced by 25% moving forward.
Now, I thought this was a mistake because, you know, these people maybe didn't know who I am that we've been demonetized for three years.
No, it's made very clear to me in no uncertain terms, this is what's sent out to everybody.
And then if you get to then if you get a strike, meaning a suspension, another 20% reduction. And then another 20% of it happens on Apple and then another 10% of it happens on Facebook and then another 10% of it happens on Spotify.
Imagine you're deplatformed, as we've seen in the past, where all of the major entities decide to remove you in one day. Rather than having a conservative alternative, you would now be down to 5 to 15% of the revenue of your contract.
Think about this for a second. Those in charge, the big conservative, the Big Con, and it really is the biggest con going right now. They're making it known in their contracts that they will enforce the guidelines of big tech and punish conservatives on their behalf.
Don't, don't, don't don't worry [unintelligible]. Trust me, these conservatives will stay in line. If they get demonetized, we take away 25% of their operating budget. Take another 20% sway if they get a hard strike. Hey, don't worry, Zuckerberg. We've got your back. Hope to see you at the UFC Apex.
