      Nah some of them are enlightened centrists who buy into his slightly right-leaning all sides schtick.

      Tim Poole is the dumbest person with a platform. This is not hyperbole. I didn’t forget about anyone else that may be mentioned, Tim is dumber.

          I’ve never heard of this guy before, so I had to research. Wikipedia entry for his early life: “Pool was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up in a middle-class family. His father was a firefighter and his mother sold cars. Pool attended a Catholic school until completing the fifth grade and left school at the age of 14.”

          Whelp. That explains a lot. I have yet to hear him speak or read any quotes on wiki or elsewhere. Though I can predict a certain cadence of speech and lack of even the tiniest depth of understanding of whatever he’s talking about.

          So which do we think came first? Private school or the dumb?

            Some More News did a long video on him here. It’s a bit long and focuses mostly solely on him. If you’re looking for something that’s a little more broader and covers these general types of guys they have a better video titled “Are Men Okay?”. I actually think the ‘are men okay?’ one should be watched by everyone especially the end.

    Do me this experiment please 🙏🥺. Go to YouTube and every time you see “Joe Rogan” anything, just go to down vote and unsubscribe…oh wait I meant, not interested.

    You will find that you can’t remove Joe Rogan from your feed. It’s just going to come in the form of another video.

      I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts on Spotify. Haven’t listened to Rogan in years. I literally only tune in if it’s a guest I really want to hear and can get over Rogan being there for 2-3 hours. Still, if I put on a podcast before bed and fall asleep to it, so many times it autoplays Rogan after I fall asleep. Like 90+% of the time. I legit think the algorithm pushes him at that hour to pump his numbers up, but hey, maybe I’m being a roganesque conspiracy nut.

      content algorithms don’t consider your preferences; they consider your engagement. if you downvote something, you’re engaging with it. that’s good for the site. they don’t care if you hate it if it keeps you there.

      Sorry but it’s just you. I didn’t even know Joe Rogan was on YouTube, and I’m on that website daily.

      Your dislikes don’t affect the recommendations you get; your habits do.

        As someone who plays Heart of Iron and watches a bunch of history and gun channels, the only thing that got YouTube to stop pushing fascists in my feed was watching Dimension 20 and Some More News.

        Ty, Brennan Lee Mulligan and Cody Johnston, for fixing my algorithm.

          The algorithm for me is so fucked that I get ads for deepsea oil rig sand traps, and spanish language ads for deodorant. I live in the middle of the US am poor, and only speak English.

      I have zero Joe Rogan on my feed. You are literally making it worse by engaging with his content in any way (down votes being a big one). Just completely ignore content you don’t like and it’ll go away over time.

      Yeah it’s cathartic and all, but these people will lash out hard if/when he loses. I think we need to be taking this very seriously.

        Meh, I’m armed to the teeth, I’m not worried. This is one of the reasons I heavily support the 2nd…no cop or military is coming to protect me. They’ll come with a toe tag at best.

    Because he’s only doing this to stay neutral, and avoid losing subscribers. Guarantee he’s voting for Trump… like most rich celebrities who pretend they’re just like the rest of us…

      I honestly think he doesn’t vote. Because he has said that the whole system is a silly popularity contest. I agree. But I also think it’s a good thing to vote.

        If you think a single thing that dude says is in good faith I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

        He’s a grifting right-wing propagandist and that’s all.

    Like Rittenhouse, he abandons Trump and then after all the death threats and boycotts he scrambles to go back to him.

    It must be very humbling for Rogan to realize his whole world is controlled by Trump and he is nothing but a bootlicker. He though he was his own man and he is learning that is not true.

      Its not. Rogan’s a rat fleeing a sinking ship. In another month there will be more rats (Nick Fuentes has bailed, some of the AM Radio shills are taking a few careful steps back, and you can already see GOP fundraising emails have completely abandoned using JD Vance’s image). And - baring a Biden/Harris style shake-up and realignment with national media - I am willing to bet we’re going to see a route of media support by election day.

      Nobody wants to be associated with the stink of loser-dom in the GOP. And Trump’s increasingly looking like a dead fish.

      Meanwhile, Rogan’s going to keep churning out his muscle man carny act well into 2028, long after Trump is in the rear view mirror.
