Because he's a sniveling little prick with zero original or popular ideas or opinions?

In a better world this would be the reason, but he always was and never did and it didn't stop him from making an obscene amount of money off of his BS previously
I've said it before, but it seems like more than a coincidence that Orban losing in Hungary and Ben's financial problems line up pretty close.
It's a good theory, but Shapiro's problems pre-date this. Shapiro's problems seem to really start in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's killing. The Nick Fuentes, anti-Semitic faction of the Right has become ascendant and they don't like Ben. (for some reason).
You could even argue it goes back to the friction with Candace Owens, and her firing from The Daily Wire behind her support of Kanye West.
In any case, the American right is splitting up over the idea that opposition to Israel is antisemitic. They believe that and therefore cannot support Israel.
Shapiro’s like Peterson, gilding their bullshit with words and presentation that makes it seem academic or “smart”. Now that there’s no need to pretend like the goal isn’t fascism, imperialism, hate, and Christian fundamentalism the bigots who speak plainly have more appeal. Instead of needing to seem enlightened to feel superior, they got their regime and treat it’s cruelty as the standard and feel superior because they can use force.
From the ideology that gave us Jeff Sessions saying he liked the KKK until he found out they smoked weed, "I liked Israel until I found out they were Jewish" sounds about right
Ben Shapiro is fighting everyone to defend Israel's genocide in Gaza, and it's why even his followers are dropping like flies.
They're splitting into two factions: the ones taking large sums of money in exchange for shilling for Israel, and those whose antisemitism is so virulent that they'll find their dirty money elsewhere. None of them oppose Israel's genocide against the Palestiniains because they care about Palestinians, though there might be some crocodile tears shed to conceal their actual motives.
tl;dr
.> Shapiro, who is an Orthodox Jew, is fiercely pro-Israel. His support for Israel and hatred of the Palestinian cause are issues that define him as a public political figure. He is an unequivocal backer of Netanyahu’s Israel
I think it's also pretty clear there's been a reshuffling of financial resources for the grifters. Whether that's because the results have shown a collapse of Republican enthusiasm, because Israel is hated by a big chunk of both parties, or because they can't funnel it through Orban, I'm not sure, but Russian money seems to have slowed down to the right. Maybe because the writing on the wall for tipping our global influence is already well established and it's just a matter of time. If I were a Russian propaganda coordinator I'd have pivoted to Chinese grifters like Epoch Times by now.
Unless you're a zionist Jewish supremacist I wouldn't listen to a word he says.
Shapiro, who is an Orthodox Jew, is fiercely pro-Israel.
There are also Orthodox Jews who have strongly and consistently opposed Zionism from its start. It's not because he's Orthodox, it's because he's an asshole.
I wonder
Some more news did a pretty interesting episode on this a couple months ago. Worth a watch/listen:
Love me some Cody showdy!
Right wingers have shifted to Asmongold, Candace, Tucker, Megyn and Nick.
I'm pretty sure they mean Matt Walsh's media empire, unless the situation has changed.
If it's collapsing, it can't come about soon enough. What an irritating pretentious prick.
Too bad it's not a massive physical edifice literally collapsing onto Shapiro.
