I think it was more of the former. If you study Craster’s relationship, it’s not a relationship of equals or one he particularly understands – the Cold Gods come for reasons of their own, and they do not communicate their reasons to him. All he can do is obey and try to survive.
Before the Others started their “final solution/apocalypse war” do you think they had Craster type relationships with other Wildlings(any of the nations, not just free folk)? And were they “do our bidding or we’ll kill you “-type deals or “give us your children and we’ll have fresh bear meat deliver itself to your village” -relationships. Also, do you think Val’s appearance is indicative of something significant?
