It's hard to speak definitively on what they contributed from a monetary/marketing/substantial standpoint, because all we have if Joe's version of events. We all know there's 3 sides to a story; your side my side and the truth.
I'm of the belief that the three of them played a part in getting the pod to where it is today because it was conversations happening among 3 friends (so to speak). It was barbershop talk in podcast format. Outside of his rants, Joe wasn't up there solo.
Now how that translates into the stake they deserve in the show itself, that's not for me to argue because I don't know the figures associated with what they bring in, or the contracts that were in place.
I think most people understand the business aspect of why Joe let them go; you're ******* up the money, letting your egos and emotions get the best of you, we got a show to run, etc. Most of the criticism I'm seeing is how he carried out said firing.
