How Ben Shapiro FINALLY Lost His Audience

Ben Shapiro's YouTube channel declined from 7.22 million to 7.21 million subscribers between late October and early November 2025, following his sharp criticism of Tucker Carlson for interviewing far-right activist Nick Fuentes, whom Shapiro labeled an antisemite. The feud highlights growing divisions in conservative media over Israel, antisemitism, and platform boundaries, with reactions on X ranging from support for Shapiro's pro-Israel stance to criticism of his positions. Supporters view the subscriber loss as a minor cost for maintaining principles, while detractors see it as evidence of eroding influence amid broader tensions, including The Daily Wire's split with Candace Owens.
