Joe Rogan's views are very... normal, almost surely closer to those of the typical person than yours or mine. I'm not gonna go around telling people what they can and can't abhor, but I do think it's important to acknowledge that you're in a strong cultural bubble if you're shocked by the things he says.
Agree, all the noise around him is so strange, when you listen to him he is just a regular and pretty nice guy

Or speaks to someone like this:
But I never thought of traditional news media media as being a push model. It makes so much intuitive sense when you say it: the reason I read newspapers is, at least in part, I want and trust them to tell me what's happening that's important. That's different than my programming blog subscriptions: I follow them because I've decided what they write is important to me.
It's a subtle difference but very impact-full, and seems correct.

Sounded pretty good until "Joe Rogan is also fantastic" at the end there...
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".

Who told you to think that, Twitter or Facebook?
The idea of “stop letting people control what you consume but oh here’s a person who controls what you consume, don’t worry it’s fine if it’s Joe” makes no sense. Either it’s fine to receive a filtered worldview from people who provide a platform for opinions, or it’s not. And that’s what’s wrong with including Joe Rogan in this article.
I will give Joe some credit though, what he is not, is an engagement echo chamber, but that was not the argument pitched in this article.

I think ivermectin as treatment for a virus counts as snake oil.
This is such a polarised view - there is clinical evidence that suggests it may reduce the symptoms of COVID. Its not a full on miracle cure. The problem is that what should be a medical discussion is now political - and people have drawn battle lines around it. https://journals.lww.com/americantherapeutics/fulltext/2021/...

At best I think he might be useful to discover interviewees that actually have interesting things to say and go from there.
What I am shocked by (and I suspect this is the shock people mostly have) is how some people are like, Joe Rogan fans. Like the article author here. To the point he's the one guy he mentions in the article. He just not that interesting!

Huh? Does Rogan run a shop selling trinkets and snake oil? He's a comedian chatting with people and sharing the discussion that you can choose to watch or not. The controversy around him is largely manufactured by a dying corporate media and ruling class threatened by unsanctioned voices. Speaking of being trolled by billionaires...

> In addition to mentioning ivermectin, the podcaster, who has previously stated that the young and healthy should not "worry" about being vaccinated against COVID, said he had also taken monoclonal antibodies and prednisone to treat the disease.
> Thus far, three anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibody products have been granted Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) by the FDA for the treatment of mild to moderate COVID in high-risk sufferers, though this is different from full FDA approval.
