In October 2013, Crowder stopped working with Fox News. In 2017, his show Louder with Crowder became a daily program. It featured comedy and political comments. The show was on Conservative Review's streaming service, CRTV.

In December 2018, CRTV joined with Glenn Beck's TheBlaze. Crowder's show was hosted there until December 2022. He also continued to use his YouTube channel, which started in 2009.

"Change My Mind" Segment

"Change My Mind" is a well-known part of Crowder's show. He sets up a table with a sign that says "Change My Mind." He then invites people, often students on a college campus, to talk with him. They discuss different and sometimes debated topics.

In February 2018, a photo of Crowder with a sign saying "Male Privilege is a Myth | Change My Mind" became very popular online. People started making funny versions of the picture. For example, they would change the sign to say things like "Pineapple goes on pizza".

A sociologist named Francesca Tripodi said that Crowder is "very popular, especially among young, conservative voters."

The Louder with Crowder podcast has also been successful on Apple's podcast list. It stayed on the top 100 list throughout 2020. On YouTube, the main Louder with Crowder channel has 5.94 million subscribers. His second channel, CrowderBits, has about 1.21 million subscribers.

Moving to Rumble

In January 2023, Crowder talked about an offer he received from a conservative media company. He did not name the company at first. He said the offer would cut his pay if his show was removed from platforms like YouTube. He felt this showed that some conservative media were not standing up to "Big Tech" companies.

It was later confirmed that the company was The Daily Wire. The CEO of The Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing, said Crowder had not fully explained the contract. He stated the contract would have paid Crowder $50 million over four years. He also said the payment rule was needed to make sure the show was profitable.

On March 3, 2023, Crowder announced he would move his show to Rumble. In August 2023, Vanity Fair reported that his show's viewership on Rumble was decreasing. Crowder then announced a partnership with Alex Jones and comedians. This partnership would offer an expanded version of his "Mug Club" on Rumble.

Personal Life

Steven Crowder is a Christian. He married Hilary Korzon in August 2012.

In July 2021, Crowder had surgery. Doctors put titanium bars in his chest to help with a condition called pectus excavatum (sunken chest). After the surgery, he had fluid in his lungs, which he described as very painful. A few weeks later, he had to go to the hospital because his lung collapsed.

In August 2021, his wife gave birth to twins, a son and a daughter.
