MeidasTouch Surpasses 7 BILLION Views on YouTube MeidasTouch Network Jul 14 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LOS ANGELES, CA – July 14, 2025 — MeidasTouch has officially crossed 7 billion views on YouTube, a historic milestone that cements its position as the most-watched independent news and commentary network in the United States. Launched in 2020 with no outside funding or corporate backing, MeidasTouch has grown into a dominant force in online media — breaking major stories, shaping the national conversation, and holding the powerful accountable with a pro-democracy voice that resonates across generations. The 7 billion view milestone comes on the heels of the MeidasTouch Podcast claiming the #1 spot on Podscribe’s Industry Ranker for the second month in a row, outperforming all competitors including The Joe Rogan Experience, Ben Shapiro, and Tucker Carlson by wide margins. From June 7 to July 7 alone, the podcast racked up 124 million downloads and views — more than triple Rogan’s 39.2 million. “Seven billion views is more than a number — it’s a movement,” said Ben Meiselas, co-founder of MeidasTouch. “This milestone is proof that the American people are hungry for truth, accountability, and community-driven media. We’re not here to play by the old rules. We’re here to change the game.” Unlike corporate media outlets that rely on billionaire backers or advertiser pressure, MeidasTouch is fully independent and powered by grassroots support. Its explosive growth across platforms — including YouTube, podcasting apps, and social media — signals a new era of people-powered media. New content is released daily on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel, which features original reporting, expert legal and political analysis, and exclusive interviews with frontline voices in the fight to protect democracy.
