in World News Steven Crowder ditches YouTube over censorship, says video platform is ‘dead’

Steven Crowder announced he is leaving YouTube live streaming for good, saying it is ‘impossible’ to operate under censorship.
(Reclaim The Net) — For creators, pulling away from Big Tech platforms like YouTube is often a tough decision.
These companies have had years – sometimes decades – to refine their technology, giving them a major edge in everything from video delivery to search algorithms. Their monopoly-like dominance means they typically have entrenched infrastructure and, perhaps most importantly, access to enormous built-in audiences.
For creators trying to grow their reach and revenue, staying plugged into Big Tech can feel like a necessary evil – even as frustration mounts over censorship and vague community guidelines. But doing this only cements the status quo.
The tide is starting to shift. Steven Crowder’s decision to move his daily show exclusively to Rumble is just one example of a growing number of creators who are giving alternative platforms a real shot. By doing so, they’re not only reclaiming control over their content and message, they’re helping chip away at the entrenched power of Big Tech.
Crowder, a comedian and political commentator, has officially severed ties with YouTube for live broadcasting, making Rumble the exclusive platform for his daily show. The move marks a bold statement in the battle over online censorship, as Crowder joins a growing list of creators seeking refuge on platforms that prioritize free expression over algorithmic suppression.
Crowder, known for his outspoken views and combative style, delivered the announcement in a video shared on both YouTube and X, clarifying that the departure from YouTube live streaming wasn’t temporary – it was permanent.
We are at the dawn of a brand new chapter.
Starting tomorrow I will be streaming exclusively on Rumble. No more YouTube. I’m Done.
I’m leaving behind the censorship regime once and for all, and I don’t plan on looking back.
Join us live at our new time, 11AM ET, and help us…
