Best overall breakdown of this whole Crowder vs DW issue BY FAR!! It’s why I read Cerno!

I never heard of Crowder before this whole DW tif but been reading tweets about. But $50 mil def grabbed my attention.

That phone call recording is pretty low character imo and probably something I couldn’t even use as leverage due to my conscious.

Thanks for simplifying the background of the situation and pulling back the proverbial curtain of subscription profit strategies.

Even if you had no conscience, he gathered zero leverage and basically lit himself on fire by doing this. I'd be surprised if a highly sophisticated investor were to return his call ever again.

Cerno is right, Crowder is smart enough to know what he did was a very costly mistake. I think his course correction is to solidify the stupidest half of his viewers at the expense of DW's reputation.

Pretty good analysis for a stay at home mom blogger - thank you, Cerno

He went swimming in the deep end and proved that he can't tread water. He never bothered to learn biz 101 stuff. That CEO he brought with him on Tim Cast parroted the same stupid stuff. There are going to be some difficult, humbling times ahead.

I paid much more attention to Crowder when I was the target demo. I still like some of his on the street interviews debating hot topics. Maybe there is an audience that's turned on by his fight with DW, but to me, DW comes out looking like the mature adults who handled themselves brilliantly at every step. Crowder won't be seen as lost opportunity now.
