Conservative YouTuber Dave Rubin is heading to Glenn Beck’s BlazeTV, the pair announced on Tuesday, with Rubin saying that he just doesn’t “buy the YouTube game anymore.”
That comes as no surprise after a series of YouTube-related headlines making Rubin and his conservative peers become the subjects of the news, not just the commentators on it.
In May, a sit-down interview with presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was derailed by pressure from what Rubin labeled an “outrage mob” that included activists and journalists. In June, he said he worried public outcry and demand for YouTube to ban conservative video-maker Steven Crowder would only lead to Silicon Valley censorship.
