For the last decade, Ben Shapiro and The Daily Wire dominated the digital landscape. From Facebook to chart-topping podcasts, they seemed untouchable. But in 2025, the data tells a different story. With a 90% drop in YouTube views, massive layoffs, and the high-profile exit of CEO Jeremy Boreing, the "Conservative Disney" empire is crashing and burning.
The Bulwark's Will Sommer joins me on this week's episode of Power User to dive deep into the rise and fall of Ben Shapiro. We break down the explosive internal feud with Candace Owens, the catastrophic failure of his Hollywood ambitions, how a changing Facebook algorithm killed their traffic overnight, and what his fall reveals about the future of conservative media.
We cover:
The Daily Wire layoffs and financial struggles.
Why Ben Shapiro is losing his audience to creators like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.
The failure of "Anti-Woke" entertainment and the "Conservative Hollywood" dream.
How the death of Charlie Kirk created a massive fracture in the MAGA movement.
Why Ben Shapiro is irrelevant to Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
