Great content! Love it! However… I payed for the full subscription to The Daily Wire. At one point I got a new phone, and when I tried to log in to my account I could no longer access the content I payed for. I tried contacting the daily wires costumer service multiple times. I still haven’t gotten a response! Hopping I can get my money back. In other words… that really need better costumer service. They don’t have good costumer service.

The Daily Wire Merchandise Store
I truly enjoy The Daily Wire. Their programming is excellent and their written news and commentary are just as good. I will keep my membership as long as they continue to deliver this type of well-researched, accurate content. Having said that, I made the mistake of going to their merchandise store and placing an order. It’s been 6 weeks and nothing. I have emailed multiple times and only got an auto response on the first one. To make matters worse, the tracking they offer is through an app that requires that I allow that app open access to my emails, Amazon account, etc. The Daily Wire is a conservative news site that constantly reminds us of Big Tech’s overreach and encourages its viewers/listeners to be diligent in defending against it. Sort of odd (if not hypocritical) that they recommend using this intrusive app to track shipments. My guess is that my experience is not the norm but have read similar stories in the comments so it’s definitely not unique. I will never order from their store again.

Great ideas, poor execution
Update 1/13/21: I have received my leftist tears tumblers. Pretty pleased with the construction and design. Wish delivery was more prompt. To be fair, they were going through a design change and I subscribed at the end of the election. (Meaning I assume they were pretty busy.)
First, the bad: Subscribed in the beginning of November and am yet to receive my leftist tears tumblers. Have been told they’re on backorder with no ETA. The discussion portion of the site was one of the main selling points for me, but I was unimpressed. The way they structure discussions is similar to a live Twitch/Youtube chat. They have all access live where you can ask questions to the hosts, but the chat is spam filled and you’re unlikely to have your question answered. There are discussions scheduled that you can participate in with other subscribers, but they are structured as a live chat too and no notifications for responses means you lose your comment in the sea of others almost immediately. I expected something like a forum for topics to be discussed and responses to be read, but this rapid firing of messages is worthless. Maybe this worked when they had less subscribers, but at this point there are too many people trying to get a word in. Lastly, they boast about an additional hour of the Ben Shapiro show every day but it usually totals between 30-40 minutes and it tends to contain portions of the first hour instead of new content.
Now, the good. Ben does a lot of weird stuff in his all access live’s and it’s cringe but endearing. The people who run the discussions (DailyWire staff) seem genuinely interested and engaged. You can comment on the articles and fellow subscribers can like and reply. You can listen on the app and lock your phone simultaneously which is an upgrade if you don’t have YouTube Premium. You also can enjoy the podcast a whole hour earlier than on YouTube.
But these benefits are not worth the expensive premium I paid to receive them. $144 a year for an insiders pass. But that doesn’t include discussions and all access live. They (and an extra tumbler) cost an extra $96. For $240 dollars the bar is quite high. I’m not a well-off man and there is no monthly option. I would rate my overall experience somewhat disappointing. I do not recommend the all access pass in it’s current state. However, I can recommend the Insiders’ pass because there is a $12/monthly option and it cuts out the unnecessary fee to experience all access live and mostly worthless “discussions”. However, you will miss out on the extra Tumbler. Though, I’ve yet to receive either and am in doubt they exist in the mortal plane.
