No thanks. Just a couple weeks ago he lied on air and spread misinformation about the current president, and then when corrected by his own staff pulled the classic “oh well I dunno about that.”
Differences of opinion are fine, but stop LYING.

I like to hear different opinions from different sides of spectrum, but all these famous podcasters have one thing in common. They're multi millionaires looking on regular people from above.
I don’t understand this “inclusive” generation. It appears to me that they are only inclusive of the people that look and sound like them.
“if you don’t look and sound like me then we don’t welcome you”.
Bizarre times we are living in

Not a fan of his misinformation so I don't listen, however deplatforming generally just amps up their exposure, so just ignore it and let it fade into obscurity.
it will be a lot more effective to tackle misinformation in the media (looking at you faux news & daily mail).

I wouldn't listen to this clown if you paid me, but I can't say that I care if is on there or not. You don't need to subscribe.
Whatever.

As usual it’s because they’ve just heard what everyone else who hasn’t listened to it says, and chosen not to listen to it as well.
If people in this country (world) would just take the time to actually hear what the other person thinks before dismissing them outright, this country (world) would be a better place.
He doesn’t agree with everything his guests say either, and vice versa. He purposely invites people on who have different views so that they can have an honest discussion. He’s never told anyone to do anything. He advocates that people think for themselves. I don’t see what’s wrong with that.
He had Bernie Sanders on, for crying out loud. Why didn’t they choose that as the hero image instead of Elon Musk, I wonder?
Lol i can feel the soy oozing out of everyone commenting "hard pass" ""no thanks". Joe Rogan brings on people of all walks of life, and ways of thinking. Some i agree with and some I don't. People who don't like Rogan definitely haven't listened to a full podcast. He's extremely popular for a reason.
Genuine question, have you ever listened to even one episode? There are thousands. Choose one with a guest you like, I can practically guarantee you will find at least one.
I'll stick with Spotify, thanks. I don't listen to most of his shows but I listen to a few a month.
He’s allowed to think differently than the status quo you buy into.
Seeing/thinking differently isn’t “abuse” or “ignorant” or “hateful.”
I'm not saying you're wrong, but do you think a public figure with a huge platform should feel any responsibility about what he or she says or promotes?
Like even 0.0001% responsibility?
Or is it just a free for all no matter what consequences our actions have?
Not picking a fight, I'm genuinely curious.
Yes, I have listened to it for about a year around 2017-2018. I don't like Joe Rogan's interview style, his voice, or the way he hosts. The guests might be fine, but as long as he is there talking, I don't care to tune in.
That and I almost 100% avoid any politics/hot-button issue podcasts anymore. I stick to mystery and comedy
Please name one bit of hateful rhetoric you have actually seen him say. Provide a link please. Or is this just what you hear from everyone else who also has no evidence?
I listened a lot around that time as well, and never listened to a single episode on Spotify. I’m not even sure he’s as good as he used to be. I just can’t imagine him actually “spreading hate and disinformation.” That sounds like straight up propaganda. I even saw his “apology” video about ivermectin (which a doctor actually prescribed me in the early days of covid (and before I heard him say anything about it, I had no idea what it was, she prescribed it to me, I didn’t ask for it) so I don’t know why everyone acts like it’s so insane to say that, even if it’s not effective. He’s not the only one that said it, many people with medical degrees said it.)
At least you aren’t just mindlessly repeating what other people have said. I agree with you about the politics thing too, so much manufactured controversy.
Kinda worries me that several here think he was banned by Apple. His show just wasn’t on Apple Podcasts because of Spotify buying exclusivity - there was no ban.
Joe Rogans opinions on polarizing topics like Covid and wokeness are a tad different than being pro child molesting. This is a bit over the top.
Yes. Do you genuinely think he doesn’t feel even a ten thousandth of a percent of responsibility?
He was one of the first podcasts I ever heard where whenever a question about something came up, he didn’t sit there and speculate. He googled it live and tried to sort out what was true. I don’t recall him ever advocating anyone do anything out of hate or ignorance. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Some people are worth dismissing outright, though. Don't waste your life listening to their rancid opinions.
We call these Strawman arguments, with a bit of “won’t someone please think of the children?” sprinkled in.
You made up a bunch of things that didn’t happen and disagreed with those, then you implied he might be pro child molesting. Who’s spreading hate and disinformation now?
Not as bad as giving Harry and Meghan a platform.
Ahahaha I wouldn’t consider any time I spent listening to him a waste or a rancid opinion. Just listen to the one with Bernie Sanders or thousands of others where he has open conversations with people. I mean he grew up in California and his parents’ best friends they hung out with all the time were a gay couple. He doesn’t judge or hate anyone. He doesn’t give medical or legal advice.
I’m genuinely curious what everyone is so upset about.
Rogan is misinformation personified. Sad that Apple is literally giving him a platform to spew lies and doubt.
