Because I think they're both figures who are focused on catering to a specific audience with a specific type of bunk. With Jones its incoherent, conspiracy riddled rants on his show to sell more "health supplements" and "survival gear", with Shapiro its fast talking emotional whataboutism to promote his media sites and books. I would lump left leaning figures like Gwyneth Paltrow and her company Goop, or any other similar figure pushing "alternative medicines", with them as well.

Even if I take your description of them their not in the same category. Conspiracy theorist and someone who promotes their own site and books is in the same category? You might disagree with Ben Shapiro and that’s fine but he’s not purposefully pushing misinformation.
