Idk from listening to other people who know him personally, and from listening to 100s of episodes of his podcast, he seems like a great person. Says a lot of stupid shit and has fuck ups, but who doesn't. I don't really think that anyone does or doesn't deserve to have an audience. Also I find the idea that someone "should not have a platform" whatever the fuck that means, because they say stupid shit, to be a very short-sighted approach to the problem of people believing stupid things.
If I were a person who was vaccine-hesitant or straight up didn't want the COVID vaccine for whatever reason, all this talk would just make further entrenched in my beliefs. Which is clearly what is happening.
I also am also very much against calling for people's jobs/livelihoods what have you. Regardless of if I agree/disagree with their positions. I do wish Rogan would have just stayed independent, especially because I listen to far fewer of his podcasts because Spotify is a shit platform. But honestly, who would turn down a multihundred million dollar deal. So whatever, I don't blame him. But clearly he is seeing the repercussions of that.
