One thing no one has mentioned is that Crowder has offered his legal team to anyone looking to contract into a network at half price IIRC for the contract review.
That's tells me that it's more about the principle of things than the money.
I caught this about 5 minutes after he posted it. Pure happenstance on my part.
Sad...well, disgusting really, how the 'networks' attempt to control the 'talent'
I'd support a 'network' started by Crowder with the intent to enrich ALL participants.
