YouTuber and host of “Louder With Crowder” Steven Crowder alleged that Conservative media groups are “no better than Big Tech.” Crowder stated in his video that “I believe many of those in the rightwing media are actually at odds with what’s best for you, the viewer, the customer, and more importantly the country.” He explained that those leading conservative platforms are seemingly “in bed with them [Big Tech].”
From National File:
Crowder went on to show contracts he had been offered by rightwing media companies which threatened him with lowered compensation should he face Big Tech censorship from platforms like Youtube, Facebook, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify. One contract stated if Crowder’s content was banned from any major platforms his compensation fee would be reduced. The fee he would receive would drop by 20% if Youtube or Apple deplatform him and 10% if Facebook and Spotify do. Crowder slammed this idea because he believes it means Conservative media companies are admitting that leftists can control their content creators by organizing boycotts or by pressuring Big Tech to censor them.
