You cannot discuss the terms
What this clause does
Confidentiality covering the deal terms themselves.
Why it hurts you
It stops you comparing notes with other creators or warning them about a bad actor. Broad non-disparagement can even prevent you describing your own experience honestly. Information asymmetry is how bad agencies keep working.
What a fair version looks like
Confidentiality limited to genuine trade secrets. You stay free to discuss your own commercial terms and experience.
Wording you can send back
Confidentiality obligations shall not restrict Creator from disclosing the commercial terms of this Agreement or Creator's own factual experience.
Paste this into your reply. Asking for a specific change is far more effective than asking them to "soften" a clause.
