I guess I contribute to his popularity since I've seen some of his interviews and subscribe to his YouTube channel. But the article seems to overanalyze it: for me, it's because he has a huge variety of guests, and some of them are pretty interesting. For instance, I really liked the Elon Musk and Andrew Yang interviews. The interviews are not particularly all softball questions nor especially combative. They're just _long_, and he's a passable interviewer, and so lots of good stuff comes up. I haven't seen the majority of his stuff, so I wouldn't call myself a "fan".
