    What Rogan didn't get and is maybe just starting to is that there is a line when it isn't just you shooting the shit getting stoned in your 'mancave' and that line is way before you have millions in your audience. If you are on Spotify being paid tens of millions you are the fucking Mainstream Media. After all these years he's still doing the bullshit he used to do when he was a moon landing denier of saying 'Hey i'm just asking questions'. I'll go straight to Hitler to save time, Rogan would have given him a 3 hour podcast saying he had some interesting ideas.

    Terry, Rogan isn't stupid but he's not wise because he has no clue about critical thinking, he doesn't have any skills in working out what is true and what isn't especially when it comes to anything scientific. He's the kind of guy who believes the last thing someone said to him.

    Also it's pretty ironic that if you look at virtually any story about this you have a total pile on of 100s of Rogan podcast viewers shouting everyone down about how they want to do their own research and shut up.

    People seem to have forgotten that until recently his main advertiser was 'magical' brain supplements that claimed to make you smarter... talk about snake oil the jokes write themselves at that point.

    Watching some of the reaction in the last week is like when you see Sharon Osbourne playing the character of the loveable mother hen on daytime TV and everyone lapping it up because they weren't paying attention during the prefame decades...

    It's classic Rogan fact checking, he quotes a Mitchell song which isn't by her and some bullshit about how you would have been cancelled last summer if you had said that you could still catch COVID after vaccination. Just nonsense no one ever said it made you invincible. Then rambles on about being a roadie at at Neil Young show, who cares so what?

    The two 'experts' he mentioned are nuts and having your name on one paper does not make Murdoch the inventor or one of the inventors of the mRNA vaccine technology, in fact the minute he claimed that set huge warning alarms off for me.

    "Everyone talking about his show" but losing billions doesn't exactly prove the notion that "there is no such thing as bad publicity."...

    In principle, I'd prefer a podcast that was totally uncensored. It was only a couple of weeks ago - before the Neil Young biz - that I actually watched an entire episode of Rogan's podcast, as opposed to just clips of interviews.

    Dunno quite how 'counter culture' one can be on a Spotify platform making $100 million or whatever, though doubtless some who watch him regularly think he is edgy or outside the mainstream. I'm not really sure Rogan in terms of his personality or persona is quite my cup of tea, but he is not an unintelligent person to be sure. From what I can tell, his show doesn't have any direct sponsorship, which is a plus. I mean, the guy has had a massive degree of success with the podcast and according to him it all has been 100% on his terms, so who am I to nitpick?

    Beyond that, fuck Rogan, Young AND Mitchell. Or not. Or whatever. At some point down the line Rogan will be as relevant as Young and Mitchell are today.

    This Rogan thing is so weird to me and probably to some of you who have been on these forums for years, it's like if HITCH1969 ended up on the news cited as one of the most dangerous people on the planet. Really fucking strange...

    ROGAINE will almost certainly end up technically causing more deaths than Osama Bin Laden just by having no fucking filter on his guests and believing the last thing anyone said to him..

    Neil Young is a dinosaur. He hasn't made a listenable album in what, over 35 years? Le Noise, Storytone, Living With War, Psychedelic Pill are beyond the pale of shit. The only people downloading his crap are hippie fucktards, brain dead grunge pukes who still think everything is Seattle peachy keen 1991 and LSD burn outs. Cuntify on the other hand are a digital corporate cunt behemoth who have been buying up the rights to digital music, preventing the rerelease of digital music, denying artist of their royalties by having all the publishing rights and by blowing the top executives of the last remaining record companies such as BMG, Universal (Universal may be BMG now) Sony, and Warner Brothers. Slopify has been creating a monopoly of music streaming and purchase outshining Apple and Amazon. Do you think for one god damn seccy they give a shit about some dinosaur when they are getting free blowjobs from Adele? Joey Boy is their bread and butter. As long as that retarded bald motherfucker spews his slanted right-wing conspiratorial horseshit to his audience of middle aged white guy incels most of which are over 40 and still live with their mothers Fuckify is going to honor his contact and perhaps incentivize a new one where they pay him more for the propaganda nonsense he spews.

    No wonder as to why freaks from Lake Erie want to suck on his dick spittle.

    It goes back to the fucking idiots at Spotify hiring a guy that was essentially fired by MMA, and then paying him tens of millions...

    It’s like a pendulum. In the 80’s it was making the conservative right howl and cry that generated ratings and sales. In 2022 it’s making the liberal left howl and cry that brings in the $$$$.

    Anyways, if you have a large audience they will follow you wherever you go. It’s kind of pointless of trying to run Joe Rogan off Spotify. If anything creating the attention will just boost his audience numbers. What people like about Joe’s show is it is unfiltered. He’s the new Howard Stern.
