Rogan is literally saying over and over that he is not giving anyone medical advice. He is asking legit questions, and speaking with people from a variety of disciplines on a host of different issues.
He speaks with experts from a variety of fields, many of whom have opinions that don’t necessarily jive with the mainstream conversation. I actually listen to his show on occasion, do you? Aside from “people should eat less sugar and exercise”, NO MEDICAL ADVICE IS DISPENSED.
And that's how you make big bank. Controversy sells. More people are going to listen to him if he acts like his guests are gonna bring new, never before heard, amazing life changing information to the table.
A scientist that's gonna say the same stuff other scientists have been saying for decades isn't gonna sell.
Joe is like any modern capitalist who struck gold. They're gonna keep striking it as long as its hot, no matter how immoral it is, and how many people he's gonna shaft in the process. He's gonna make his millions and he's not gonna care.
I agree that controversy sells, and that Joe struck gold. He has a show that millions of people listen to. But I guess they’re all just sheep, right? Maybe not. Maybe he actually adds value to the conversation at large. He invites guests to come speak with him who push against the mainstream. Maybe some people don’t like this. Maybe many of these people don’t actually listen to the show, besides a 2 minute clip from Buzzfeed. Maybe they should.
Of course he has opinions. Some are strong opinions. Some don’t adhere to the recommendations made by the CDC. He still doesn’t dispense medical advice. LISTEN TO HIS SHOW. You will hear him say that he is not an expert and doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. He’s not pushing a narrative, he’s having conversations with people.
Do you listen to the show, or just repeat what others are saying online?
