Honestly, I don’t really care about whether or not the most popular podcaster to ever exist believes he’s somehow being deplatformed. He’s obviously not- he remains the most popular podcast to ever exist. Maybe Joe Rogan is the new Dixie Chicks but I’ll wait until radio hosts refuse to play him before I believe it. I also don’t know why the most popular podcast ever is considered an example of book burning but not a literal massive book burning, or the literal banning of teaching materials to hundreds/thousands of kiddos. That the article doesn’t address this strikes me as cherry picking, because they obviously seem more relevant than someone who is still massively popular and well loved. There is certainly something to be said about the phenomenon of pruning an entertainers library due to cultural controversy, but invoking specifically book burning and censorship of books when ignoring actual books being burned and actual books being banned strikes me as trying to invoke a hysterical as opposed to rational reaction to the phenomenon.
