How anyone could equate Joe Rogan to a news channel is beyond me. It’s a podcast for god sakes. Just. Plain. Stupid. Entertainment. So yeah, pretty stupid action to take his music off Spotify. That whole cancel culture thing is insane and needs to end already.
Rogan has clout. Its not about the news. Its about the reach. He played his part in covid misinformation, misinformation that put my colleagues at risk (I work for a UK hospital). Carl Sagan's summary of needing extraordinary evidence is still apt to this day.
I understand his reach. What I don’t understand is people failing to think critically and falling for whatever shit they come across. On the other hand there’s the proven lies told to us by our governments. If Rogan’s stories had any negative consequences, it’s equally a failure of our politicians. We should not silence dumb people. We should educate our kids. Problem will be solved in a generation or two.
