Alex Jones and others around him did not push Steemit and Youtube while they were able to push it with millions of followers... He had nothing to loose by letting someone of his staff upload his videos on dtube as well, and adding a 30 second quick explanation at the end of each of his videos (after his ads). His audience would embrace the idea of this platform extremely well.
I personally think he belongs to the controlled opposition and unsubscribed his channel a long time ago. So for me this does not come as a surprise. Even in his latest video he doesn't mention Steemit or even any other decentralized platform without a word.... People should go out to the street and scream... This is really not the best solution... He should have said, that he doesn't care and that a team is uploading all of his videos and content to d.tube. "Get your Steem accounts for free speech", he should have said.
He will never be an advocate for those censorship resistant platforms... Mark my word...
