I left Spotify a couple years ago because of Rogan’s anti-vax bullshit. This is not new.

You mean about the time he spoke about strengthening immune systems and not being worries about Covid then getting it and throwing 15k worth of treatment on himself right away? Yeah. I dropped his show too.

Why would you ever pick it up?

I’ve never heard anything from this dipshit because he was pretty obviously a dipshit years ago and nothing has changed.

Seriously. The guy gained fame getting people to eat cow balls and bugs for money. How people think he's an authority on anything is astounding.

Some interviews were interesting, (Neil Degras Tyson, Elon Musk, several other comedians and actors that I found interesting). He was always willing to call BS on guests will some quick Googling. He did get things wrong but was willing to own up to it. Unfortunately once he hit Spotify level and doubled down on his expertise on the human physical body, he no longer listened to experts, (carnivor diet, Covid...)

This is what surprises me. His show, even in the early days, was never worth sticking around for. Rogan tried to be an actor long ago, had a whiff of success and then it fizzled out because he sucks. Then he tried to be a comedian, and that also had a whiff of success but fizzled out because he sucks. So he tried being a reality show host, got some traction, then failed out of that as well. His podcast is just his last attempt to be relevant and famous. And because he failed at the others he's desperate enough for attention to do this kind of content with bigots and science deniers. He's opportunistic trash.

I left after the front page continually recommended the "call her daddy" podcast to me over and over again despite my listening history that couldn't be further from that "content."
