Update (5/17/23): One day after this article’s publication, Crowder used his platform on Rumble to claim “we've been suspended and potentially permabanned from YouTube” and had “five strikes across my two YouTube channels within five minutes.”
After stating “we won’t be on YouTube for at least two weeks,” Crowder defended Alex Jones, saying “we don’t abandon our friends,” repeatedly exclaimed, “YouTube, fuck you,” and warned that his audience “are the ones who decide when it's all over. Not some pedophile sympathizer in Silicon Valley.”
