Ben Shapiro lost 85% of his YouTube audience since last year

He went from 170 million monthly YouTube views to 22 million monthly views.

Daily Wire just fired half their staff in mass layoffs

I never liked this phaggot

I hope the Daily Wire fully implodes





Full Twitter Post:

The Daily Wire is the case study of why personality-driven media companies can't compound.

Peak in late 2023: Shapiro's YouTube alone pulled 170M monthly views. Daily Wire+ subscriptions, a Nashville studio operation, Bentkey kids streaming, an e-commerce arm with razors and chocolates and cigars. The company was running a billion-dollar conservative Disney bet.

Then they made the studio bet bigger. Pendragon Cycle, an Arthurian fantasy series of the kind that has bankrupted larger production houses. Bentkey trying to compete with Disney for kids' attention. Daily Wire+ chasing Netflix. Running a newsroom, a film studio, a children's streaming platform, and a private-label consumer goods business simultaneously requires either limitless capital or extraordinary discipline.

Some of it worked. Matt Walsh's "Am I Racist?" was the top-grossing documentary of 2024. Most of it didn't.

In March 2024, they parted ways with Candace Owens. She walked into the open market and built a show that competes with theirs. Today she has 5.5M YouTube subscribers and added 10.9M followers across platforms since January 2025, generating roughly 805M views in that window. Daily Wire converted its biggest distribution asset into its largest competitor.

Early 2025, co-founder Jeremy Boreing stepped down as co-CEO and launched a solo podcast outside the company he co-founded. Bentkey was shuttered the same year. Entire team cut.

Then the audience math hit Shapiro himself. 170M monthly YouTube views in late 2023 to roughly 22M in early 2026. An 85% collapse in 18 months. Another 60K subscribers gone in the last 90 days alone.

http://Layoffhedge.com estimates cumulative workforce reduction above 60% over the past year.

Tucker Carlson left Fox in 2023, kept his audience, runs his shop with a fraction of the headcount. Megyn Kelly's network drew 138M YouTube views in February alone. The personalities figured out they don't need the platform. The platform discovered the opposite.

Daily Wire built a billion-dollar valuation on names that can walk, take the audience with them, and run a competing show from a laptop the next morning. 170M views to 22M. The company kept the overhead. The audience left with the people.

It's obvious that anti-Semitism is out of control. US and EU need to pass bills to make watching the daily wire mandatory.

IDK if thats more important to you??

Daddy, why are we being loaded up in trains, dont you mind that son, the white boomers are dead and we showed them jews whos in charge!!

Look, at the end of the day, money/power talks.

When AIPAC, etc were able to remove anti-israel squad members from power and simply replace them with the same anti-American cloned leftists, but pro/neutral Israel, that should have been a wakeup call for everyone.

Those in power on the left are just as in bed with Israel, etc as the right. No different than the billionaire donor class, they're simply better at messaging/masquerading it.

I guess best bet scenario is, Israel doesnt have near the influence they do now?? But at that point, does any of that remotely matter while your rights are being ended....and then...you/me?

Sometimes, for the system to get better, it needs to be burned to the ground so that it can be rebuilt. It only happens when things get worse, much worse.

People need to suffer before their eyes can be truly opened, and they demand change, real change. Not what Trump is doing.

The U.S. citizen is slowly eating shit from both sides of the political party... And they are happy with it, because they deflect that the other side is worse... Thats a recipe that will eventually lead to the continued destruction of society and the country.

In theory, I 100% agree, however, we dont live in theory, we live in the real world and because of that, we wont be the ones rebuilding it, instead, that new system it will be built on our corpses.

I know this only because thats what those in power on the left tells us...and I believe them.

Im not sure if anyone here understands this, but whatever one considers Trump to be on the political spectrum, make no mistake about it, there will never be another president elected that is currently further right leaning than he is....maybe, if Vance can squeak in??

If not, then in 2032 the only difference between all of them will be the UBI amounts and what should happen to the most hated demo in the country.

He used to be a voice of the conservative right but he lost a lot of people when he became one of those "any criticism of Israel is anti-semitism".

Exactly this, I couldn't listen to that voice for more than a minute. Just don't know much about his positions other than what I've heard others say. And that is usually so laced with JDS, it's hard to know what's true and what isn't.

All of this. Most people in political office are idiots that have done nothing else their whole lives. Post Turtles so to speak.

Being incompetent making you easier to control is significant. It's one reason I just learn to do everything myself for myself because depending on other people for anything has so many drawbacks. For one, you can't depend on anyone. For another, if you need them they might rip you off.

Our grandparents down were all handy, they knew how to do everything themselves. Now, dudes can't change a tire, women can't even cook. But that's the design. You just do your little job and pay everyone else to do everything and they collect their cut in the middle. It's why they want to feminize men and masculinize women.

This is why jews are so hell bent on secularism and a separation of church and state. In a pluralistic liberal society they can manipulate behind the scenes. When society is connected by ethnicity, religion and heritage, interlopers are easily identified, ostracized and eventually removed from society

The founding fathers put separation of church and state for a good reason, but the Jews saw this manipulated it. It's like everything else, standing up and shouting death to America is freedom of speech, but asking if the number was really 6 million is hate speech. It's illegal some places to question if Germany committed genocide but it is also illegal to question if Israel is committing genocide.

There is no separation of church and state. In our government, the religion clause only says that congress cannot establish a religion. However, the aclu and jewish lawyers used that establishment clause to work it into much more than the founders intended. That's why they are profoundly obsessed with the Judiciary. Because if they're platform was put to a vote, it wouldn't pass.

Yeah the establishment clause is actually a huge reason why America is more religious than like, almost every western country besides maybe Poland currently (if you consider it western)

Having a state sponsored religion breeds makes the approval of said religion tank along with the government once government approval tanks along with it.

Of course, importing the third world who will inherently vote leftist once in the west will throw a monkey wrench into that idea
