The opposite. He never had anything to say, he was just a great interviewer.
The problem is he started believing he had something to say, and started talking over guests he disagrees with… The last one I watched the guest spoke for less than 2 minutes before Joe went on a 5+ minute rant about how he didn’t believe it. I can’t even remember what it was about, because the guy didn’t even get to lay out his argument
We got it Joe, you think the world is a magical place and have strong opinions on how humans should interact. Let the science man talk
They also bought Michelle Obama and Duke&Duchess of Essex as podcasters. Not saying these are equivalent to Rogan, just that they seem to be burning money on things that has nothing to do with music. And I’m very much not a fan of fucking up podcasts as a simple medium delivered by RSS. I have a futile hope that that decision will burn them.
He has done a lot to help spread things like anti-vaxxer lies. He’s given platform to shitty right wingers and treated their ideas as reasonable alternatives to more mainstream views. He generally has presented his views as moderate and he’s “just asking questions” which seems disingenuous.
He generally comes off as an idiot who likes money, but being responsible about what he allows on his show is not a big concern as long as the dollars keep flowing
They could easily pay those workers by terminating the contract with Rogan
I think Joe was out of things to say 10 years ago. You could replace him with AI and never know the difference.
I don’t think AI speaks “knuckledragger” well enough
You’re overestimating the intelligence and ability of his listeners if you think they’d notice the difference.
I mean if just once it sounded not stupid they’d be calling JR a “removed” or something, I think.

I don’t hate the man like a lot of people here but this a really good point.

Uh… Ok… Wow. So you understand how businesses work?
You can be pissed off but he is still the number 1 listed/watched podcast in the world. It brings in subscribers.
Fuck Joe Rogan
As someone who’s been out of the loop. Why do so many people hate Joe Rogan?
He has done a lot to help spread things like anti-vaxxer lies. He’s given platform to shitty right wingers and treated their ideas as reasonable alternatives to more mainstream views. He generally has presented his views as moderate and he’s “just asking questions” which seems disingenuous.

I agree. Doesn’t charge reality. Man it’s hard for people to accept Rogan prints money and the comment made no sense.
What comment?
No. Rogan brings in subs. He sells ads. He is the most popular podcast on the planet. He makes them money, Spotify isn’t a Joe Rogan charity.
millions of flies cannot be wrong!
Money from flies spends just as well as money from butterflies.
The hate I’m getting for pointing out objective reality is pretty terrible. There is a whole lot of copium around his popularity.
Doesn’t matter if you like their taste or not. It makes money.
