We should heavy upvotes and follow guys like this so they provide more.

Tell that to the people who had family butchered in Bucha, or the soldiers that came from Russian imprisonment looking like WW2 concentration camp survivors with horror stories about their abuse at the hands of Russians.

War is horrible, but supporting a country filled with people that do not want to be Russians is not a bad deed.

Even the people in the occupied territories.. all that we need to negotiate.. how did that work out for the world? Not standing up to tyrants just means they will do more. So as long as Ukranians say they want to fight Russia to defend their autonomy we have a moral and ethical obligation to give them what they need to win.

But thanks for wishing death and harm upon me and my loved ones.

Edit: thanks moderator :) his posts were over the line.

I encountered these kinds of diagrams with smilies next to a 1 to 10 scale more often at doctors and thought these were pretty helpful:

Oh absolutely. I just think that the Spotify people are also very money driven.. so some good old data driven audience optimization played into this ideally.

And then being around all those charming right wingers, that put their arm around you.. and pull you in deeper. They probably had an easy hook into Rogan and his narcissism.

27pct more is huge.. I would have expected a much higher number though.. both absolute and in percentage.

I'll bet the Spotify people showed him market research and told him.. if you tap into this audience using your platform.. the 250 will be the beginning. And then he got sucked in.

I watched a lot of early Rogan.. And even though he was an idiot, there were so many wonderful conversations with interesting people.

Then came the likes of Jocko Willink, and slowly you saw more right wing people creep into his orbit. The early Peterson was even fun to listen to and said some good stuff.. but the conversation became more political, more right wing and in my opinion less interesting... Just regurgitation of right wing talking points. Once Rogan was in talks with Spotify.. there was nothing interesting left. Rogan probably got info from Spotify on demographics, targeting, subjects that do best and decided a 100 million was enough to sell gis soul. Then by constantly being in the same room with the ghouls and smelling their farts.. they managed to convince him the farts smelled nice.

All the people taking this lightly, wildly underestimate the effect the richest man in the world has on public discourse. This guy is taking heads of state to task, threatening democracy.

I hope he trips up and gets X banned.. but we need to be way more radical in protecting our democracy.

They have to disclose MAU and they are not.

I think you are a troll..and a badly mannered one at that. Arguing against pax americana just means you have not been paying attention the last 50 years.

I'd nuance all this.. with it could have been better, the 1st world did a lot of nasty things and and and.. but under a USSR victory.. everyone would have been way more fucked.. just look at the hellholes that modeled after the USSR and evolved from there.. but yea.. all the US's fault amirite?

Haha, no.. the USSR made themselves go bankrupt and caused the country to devolve until it was no longer viable all the while genociding their own population. You've got some revisionist history on your shirt.

Well that's a constructive answer, and not even a good one. Maybe spend a little less time in your echo chambers and look at all factors of conflicts instead of US bad.. rest is irrelevant.
