    You can be pissed off but he is still the number 1 listed/watched podcast in the world. It brings in subscribers.

          He has done a lot to help spread things like anti-vaxxer lies. He’s given platform to shitty right wingers and treated their ideas as reasonable alternatives to more mainstream views. He generally has presented his views as moderate and he’s “just asking questions” which seems disingenuous.

          He generally comes off as an idiot who likes money, but being responsible about what he allows on his show is not a big concern as long as the dollars keep flowing

        I agree. Doesn’t charge reality. Man it’s hard for people to accept Rogan prints money and the comment made no sense.

            They could easily pay those workers by terminating the contract with Rogan

            No. Rogan brings in subs. He sells ads. He is the most popular podcast on the planet. He makes them money, Spotify isn’t a Joe Rogan charity.

          The hate I’m getting for pointing out objective reality is pretty terrible. There is a whole lot of copium around his popularity.

        Doesn’t matter if you like their taste or not. It makes money.
