Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.
Fucking Spotify using my money to pay this nutjob really pisses me off
Vote with your wallet. Deezer is pretty good. I switched to them when Spotify decided I needed Rogan in my life despite their algorithm undoubtedly indicating otherwise.
I switched to YouTube music and have been happy with it. The family plan is about the same price as Spotify and includes YouTube premium which has been an unexpectedly nice bonus.
It’s really nice to be able to watch YouTube on your TV and not have to deal with ads
I do encourage everyone to drop all Meta platforms, but generally speaking “vote with your wallet” is ineffectual.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Edit: choosing what makes you happier is never ineffectual, but capitalism is not a democracy. You can’t “vote” out a company by choosing not to use their product, especially when that company owns many of the options or has control over the majority of the market.
How is voting with your wallet ineffectual?
There’s a confirmation bias at work here. The shitty things people didn’t pay for don’t exist.
I switched to Tidal when he first started going on with the COVID misinformation. Haven’t looked back.
Yep it’s totally unnecessary to pay anyone for streaming music.
Just obtain your own MP3s of the music you prefer, and listen to those files on your device. It’s the 2000s way to music, and it’s still the best.
Internet connectivity is not available everywhere, so you may encounter areas that streaming doesn’t work. MP3 collections don’t have that problem.
You can also get your own Plex server or something like that if you really just want to stream your music. That’s another way to have your music on hand without bullshit subscriptions.
Use xManager. All the benefits excluding downloading songs. It’s updated once in a while too
I can vouch for xmanager but it also doesn’t have carplay. At least not in my 2023 sedan. Just wanna make sure the facts are out there.
Its a “fact” that anyone who listen to Rogan is a peasant-minded moron
pesant-minded
My comrad in class, unless you are a multi-millionare we are all peasants together. Many of us have excellent minds, as you likely do yourself. Do not tie our mental capability to our economic caste.
“my comrade in class” needs to be the 21st century replacement for “my brother in Christ” and you just made me make my first Lemmy comment!
I’m using this!
I don’t like “talky” podcasts so I never listened but there was a time when hearing about an interesting guest he had made me inclined to look them up.
Now when I hear someone was on his show I default to assuming they’re a crackpot. And I’ve only been wrong about that like twice.
Infowars had some reputable people in its earlier days too. Rogan seems to be following the same unhinged path.
There are only so many kinda-fringe-but-interesting guests in the world. If that’s your whole schtick, at some point the pool runs dry and you start bringing out grifters.
Agreed. It’s depressing when I am looking into someone I respect and see a clip of them on his show. Minus ten thousand points.
What does it mean to be peasant-minded and why are you using it as an insult.
How is that trolling? imo that was quite a funny point, if the original phrase was meant to be an insult, it was a very weird one.
You’re being a much bigger troll. You took any kind of criticism of someone else’s wording as an attack on your agenda. Congrats, you’re at least as bad as the people listening to Rogan.
Edit: someone please explain what am I missing.

It’s a fact that Rogan is a brain-damaged conspiracy theorist
Rogan flips like a light switch. One day he’s all about the science and the next he’s got some mouth breather telling him the moon is made out of cheese.
He’s playing both sides. Like any corporation, the goal is money. He knows there’s money to be had from the right. He might be trying to get that tucker Carlson demo. Bringing in interesting guests like scientist, philosophers, etc. Just keeps the general public from leaving outright.
This is fantastic advice.
Try drugs. If it’s something you’re into, you should even try a lot of drugs. But some drugs are better left alone, and by the time you get to where trying those drugs seems appealing, you should probably know which drugs you can’t handle safely. Which drugs those are is different for everybody, but getting to know yourself is at least half the point of trying drugs in the first place, so be safe and don’t get too addicted (and buy a testing kit, especially if you’re buying street drugs)

Stopped listening to him when Bill Burr told him to shut up about Covid. This wasn’t a false flag and if it was instigated by someone then Donald Trump was apart of the plan because we all can watch the video of him telling his supports to march on the capitol and fight. None of it is ridiculous in the scope of how that party was going and none of it needs further insight. A brain dead party is making it up as they go and making a lot of mistakes along the way.
