politics

I have no fucking idea why people watch Rogan, he's not particularly well versed in anything other than martial arts, he's not brilliant or even well spoken or educated by any stretch of the imagination... it feels to me as if he became popular because the average idiot finds this interesting but in reality he's just talking about nonsensical themes with some guests that, surprisingly, are quite well educated themselves.

I'll always remember this man as the crazed idiot who screamed bloody murder at a zoologist because her findings, research and experience contradicted what he wanted to showcase so at that moment he truly showed who he was.

Wait, how is he dethroned? The article states Rogan has more watchers/viewers.

For the record I hate that bald turd.

Cool, but what I dislike about the MeidasTouch is how they seem to prop up the importance of something against Trump when it's usually something that isn't going to make him flinch. They are giving people a false sense of security when people should be realizing that they will need a revolution to get out of fascism.

I don't really care for either, and I'm particularly politically minded and listen to podcasts almost exclusively. They just aren't very interesting or funny, the two things I need in a podcast. What's the appeal, rage?

I’m glad Meidas is surging in popularity but the bros are fucking annoying at times.

JOE ROGAN: the guy (who's opinion I could not care less about) that would RATHER VISIT RUSSIA than CANADA.

Ugh. Rightwing liberals under a veneer of anti establishment

But also, I don't trust these rankings. Downloads of episodes versus streaming on YT versus the app versus follower counts. It's all very apples to oranges.

What I can say positively, is that The Majority Report gets about as many live viewers as Meidas touch an YT, and has for much longer as a genuinely progressive outlet. Likewise, for better or worse, TYT has also been putting up those kinds of numbers for a very long time.

But it is interesting to me to see MT bump JRE. It does say something about a turning tide.

Does anyone remember the simpler times where Phillip de Franco was relevant and TYT was leftist? Sigh. The internet is dying.

Incredibly misleading title and also Who?

Dude is a loser and manipulates his audience for profit instead of running a business to support and/or entertain for good, just like everyone else on that side/way of business.

Rogan just transitioned because that was his base. He leaned more into the base, knowing he would bank millions. Sean Ryan, I would argue, is even more interesting than Rogan. He admits when wrong and will change his views when presented strong evidence. Like the Gavin Newsome interview he had for example.

Rogan just goes along with the guest, some things might stick like the moon landing was fake. But most of Rogan is just going with the flow.

I just scrolled through the top podcasts in Apples Podcasts app. I didn’t realize the landscape had changed so much. There sure is a bunch of bullshit in the top 50 these days.

I knew a bunch of these were popular on YouTube, but I didn’t realize how that was translating to overall podcast rankings on a separate platform.

Makes me miss the more innocent days of early podcasts. And also clarifies why all my favorite long running podcasts say the advertising market for podcasts isn’t what it use to be.

I don’t see how these three bros lookin like assholes in suits are as popular as they are. The branding makes me suspicious.
