The best time to quit Spotify was years ago when they gave Joe Rogan a huge paycheck. The next best time is now.
- inemesitaffia 1y agoHBO Max, X, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, LinkedIn and Meta, as well as cable television channels.
- Gud 1y agoHonestly I don’t get the Joe Rogan hate. Seems like a pretty normal person to me, flaws and all.
- tastyface 1y agoRogan's endorsement might have pushed the Trump administration to victory. Easy to hate someone who directly contributed to the end of democracy in your country. (Though I guess the blame is more with the millions of people who take advice from a self-professed meathead.)

- mingus88 1y agoThere are a lot of average people out there. I don’t need to hear their ill informed takes, either. I would rather live in a world where we give out quarter of a billion dollar deals to people who do better, but that’s not the world we live in, so you’ll just have to deal with Rogan critics instead.
- thunky 1y ago> There are a lot of average people out there. I don’t need to hear their ill informed takes, either Do those people host podcasts doing long form interviews with interesting people too?
- Brian_K_White 1y agoYes. Including him. That is exactly the point of the comnent was that yes exactly that happens.

- bryanlarsen 1y agoJoe Rogan probably did more to normalize fascism in the US than anybody. Despite those views being held by a large minority of people in the US, it was still seen as fringe. Whether Rogan was cause or symptom of fascism becoming mainstream, he's understandably widely hated for it.
- chucksta 1y agoIn what ways did he do more to normalize fascism in the US than _ANYBODY_ else?
- Gud 1y agoHow so? To me Joe Rogan doesn’t appear to be a fascist. Genuinely curious how people can think Joe Rogan is a fascist.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoJoe Rogan legitimized fascism by hosting fascists. Whether or not he himself is fascist, he did not push back against them while interviewing them.
- chucksta 1y agoHes a fascist because he's bad at interviewing his guests? Interesting take
- bryanlarsen 1y agoHe invites fascists to be on his program.
- Gud 1y agoDoesn’t make him a fascist

- locopati 1y agohe hosted anti-trans guests that normalized trans hate
- Gud 1y agoSuch as?
- locopati 1y agoI'm not going to give you a snarky Google "Joe Rogan anti trans", so here (and she wasn't the only one) ... https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a33391944/joe-rogan-abigail-shrier-interview-transphobia/ https://www.menshealth.com/entertainment/a33391944/joe-rogan...
- untilon 1y agoShrier wrote a well-researched book that is critical of a cultish ideology affecting teenage girls. A very interesting guest for Rogan to interview. Her book is favorably reviewed here: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/11/26/a-book-on-transitioning-girls-is-denounced-as-transphobic https://www.economist.com/united-states/2020/11/26/a-book-on... Though I can see why people also in adherence to this ideology may not enjoy it being subjected to scrutiny. Kind of like Scientologists in that regard, or any other cult.
- locopati 1y agoExistence is not ideology. So fuck right off with your anti-trans bigotry (yes, comparing being trans and wanting basic rights to a cult is bigotry).
- untilon 1y agoSpoken like a true believer.
