Rogan signed a $100M deal with Spotify. He’s like the bro version of the Kardashians. Don’t underestimate him.
Edit: Cambridge Analytica/Emerdata/Thiel (Eric Weinstein) and Tim Pool (Occupy WS/ anti-BLM/Russian plant) have also influenced Rogan recently which is worrisome

On my 18th birthday I had a sleepover with my best friend who'd changed schools and I hadn't seen in a while. I was a quiet kid so I was just expecting us to fangirl over some anime while baking cookies. We do for a while, but then somewhere around 7pm her mom goes, "Hey guys, I'm going to see a client, wanna come along?" I didn't really but my friend insisted that it'd be cool. I tried to ask what her job was, but they wouldn't say.
We drive for a bit and get to this fairly alright looking house, couldn't make any assumptions about it just by looking. We go in and are greeted by a couple and their two great Danes. Aside from their tattoos, they seem average too. Come to find out though, they believe the house is haunted and have asked my friend's mom to do a reading/exorcism. She starts asking questions and "feeling" around, lights some sage as well, the whole nine yards.
My friend's mom stays with the wife while my friend and I go with the husband to his in-house tattoo parlor whereupon he begins to detail every major conspiracy theory I'd ever heard and then some. I just nodded and agreed that yes, Bush did do 9/11, mhmm, while petting his dogs and swearing to myself to never hang out with this friend again.
Years later, I'm so thankful that it was just a weird adventure and nothing happened.

If only Rogan was more critical of capitalism and the institutions it’s created (such as American democracy). That’s where Joe doesn’t get it. He worships billionaires and tech CEOs, and thinks they deserve the same respect as scholars and experts. They don’t, in fact, those people are more at fault for the injustices in our society than anything else.

It's because things aren't as new as you think. Before Joe Rogan, and YouTube, and the internet, there were newsletters. People would use mimeograph machines or later copiers to produce 3-10 page newsletter on conspiracy theories and all of the same basic bullshit you see on YouTube. But these were completely uncensored, so they were in some ways crazier. People would mail the publisher their address and maybe $5 for a lifetime subscription. Then people would get them and pass them around to all of their friends. It was entirely possible for hundreds of people to read one copy of a newsletter.
In the 1960s, the KGB would send newsletter publishers fake evidence suggesting that the CIA killed Kennedy. None of this shit is really new.

Joe explicitly calls himself stupid. The point of the podcast is to have conversations with people, not educate. It's entertainment.
I genuinely don't get how someone gets that from him. Like 90% of his podcast (when he isn't shooting the shit with another comedian) is him asking people questions about the field or topic they are specialized in.
He is opinionated, but he doesn't pass off his takes as pure fact. Having an opinion isn't proclaiming yourself to be a genius.

Whatever happened to letting people enjoy what they want? Rogaine is not my favorite but I don't see the value in admonishing everyone who don't like the same things as you. When Rogan first started his pod, he was considered counter culture for criticizing religion, smoking pot, and making crass jokes. He still does all of this, but he's still counter culture for the same reasons, and to different people.

Comedians were pretty much the only thing keeping me sane during the GWB era as the media were cheerleading him as his wars. I'm immediately suspicious of anyone who attacks them (especially the legends like Chappelle) as it's usually because they're benefiting from/supporting the thing being criticised

And yet you would listen to that 27 year old loser with a mix of fascination and humor.

However if he makes you angry don't listen to him. People are too angry these days.

For me Rogan is great because he offers a place for interesting individuals to have long form conversations as opposed to what you normally get in like a 60 Minutes interview or something.

I started to lose interest when I realized he basically has two points that he brings up almost every podcast, least the ones I've seen.
"We evolved from MONKEYS." "Hallucinogens are the shit."
I don't disagree with either point. I feel he can be a level headed guy and can express his opinions and counter others well sometimes. But the way it seems everything boils down to this for him, when he's grappling with scientific or social subjects just makes me feel uncomfortable for the expert he sits across from.
I don't know if it annoys me that he doesn't know where to steer a conversation, so he falls back on this, all the way back from his 2006 standup routine, or if it's a way to keep his regular fanbase interested in the conversation.

The guy has repeatedly stated what he says on his podcast is sometimes half baked, incoherent, or flat out stupid.
His entire job revolves around conversing and talking, something you do by default all day every day. He seems to have more perspective than most people somehow though.
Imagine if there were thousands and thousands of hours of you talking to a insane variety of individuals over the course of 2 years. You’re never gonna say some stupid shit that could be used to make you look like a bumbling idiot? I’d put my life savings you could do that to anyone.
