Re: Stop spending so much time being trolled by billionaire corps
#2I first used a tool to change the fb feed when they stopped allowing me to sort by chronological order, now my account is deleted and I don't use it at all. They assume you are their cash cow, their captured audience. Prove them wrong. If you doomscroll you're probably bored by it but stuck as their prisoner.
I see tiktok as more of flipping through the channel on TV but finding something good randomly, usually but I don't spend much time on it.

Joe Rogan sits squarely at the intersection of "intelligent and curious people who don't vet their sources particularly well" and "batshit-insane folks looking for confirmation of their abhorrent views".

"Joe Rogan is Gwyneth Paltrow for men" is a spot on analogy I saw recently.
If you want interesting science podcasts, at least do Lex Fridman!

Since when is Joe Rogan considered a science podcast!? I've never seen it advertised, or presented, that way.

I've seen about 30 joe rogan podcasts over the years as background noise during some dark souls runs - not once does the guy present himself as an expert.
if anything he just brings on people who are experts and asks them a bunch of questions.
why the hard-on from twitterinas that want to shit on the show because he interviews people accused of "wrongthink"?

It’s so appalling to me. Anything called a “timeline” that is not and cannot be ordered chronologically is going to lose me immediately, as Facebook did when they made that change.

Intelligence implies vetting one’s sources well.

I think there's a view that his content has changed recently. I used to watch him a lot in previous years as it really was the best place to just hear conversations with interesting people. Now there's a view that he's taken on a particular political lean and has surrounded himself with conspiracy theorists. I doubt he's actually promoting them but his show does put them in front of a large and impressionable audience (in my personal opinion, he is extremely impressionable himself and parrots the views of his guest for the sake of the conversation regardless of his actual belief).
There are also some theories that his sudden giant increase in wealth may have contributed to his shift from the mainstream to the fringe
