I think ivermectin as treatment for a virus counts as snake oil.

Was that the only "treatment" he did at the time? No. He also took Monoclonal Antibodies and prednisone. Why didn't you bring that up? > 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 mono…

Sure, let’s talk about Rogan’s overall approach toward COVID-19. I personally know people who haven’t gotten vaccinated because of Rogan’s influence. He may have caused more harm than Gwyneth Paltrow - you’d need to gather a bunch of data to measure the effects to know for sure.

This thread is a hilarious example of why most people will always be controlled by someone else. There is exactly 5 words talking about Joe Rogan and half the replies are telling how you shouldn't watch him because he spteads misinformation. Meanwhile there has still been no reckoning for the lies the main stream media invented and repeated to invade Iraq and kill a million people.

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

In fact, the Spotify recommendation for podcasts seems weirdly out of place in this post.

So much so that I find myself wondering if the entire post is actually a Spotify/Joe Rogan promotion (or maybe gaslighting).

Want a strong, open, diverse podcast community free from bullshit, unskippable, targeted advertisements for razors and stamps.com? Stay far, far away from Spotify.

Agree, all the noise around him is so strange, when you listen to him he is just a regular and pretty nice guy

My definition of regular and pretty nice guy is not someone who spouts off against men who take parental leave to help their newborn and spouse during her recovery. https://www.mediaite.com/podcasts/joe-rogan-goes-after-pete-... Or speaks to someone like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbXV4WtfMtA

The guy has thousands and thousands of hours of him talking online. If you think we couldn't distill from the same volume of your own views that you're "not a regular and pretty nice guy" by linking some bad shit you've said - you're wrong.

Well, again, nobody can tell you who you personally have to like, but it's important to realize that your standards are not common. Most people don't mind if their friends or family or favorite podcast hosts are a jerk on rare occassion.

(It's also important to note that the last clip is entirely out of context, with no information at all on when it happened or where it came from. I'm not saying I know it's false, but this should be triggering your "unreliable source" alarm. If the clip were from 20 years ago, or misleadingly edited, or just entirely fabricated... would we know?)

"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!

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"?

He presents his guests as experts, even when they arent

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...

I think ivermectin as treatment for a virus counts as snake oil.

Ivermectin is being used in many countries and is supported by a large community of physicians and medical professionals. It may or may not be useful for covid - I'm not a medical worker so I will not opine on it's usefulness, but any person is capable of browsing the medical fields support for its efficacy as an antiviral.

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.

Also, watching his interviews doesn't mean you're a fan of Joe Rogan. Most of the time, I am interested in what the guest has to say and Joe rightfully shuts the fuck up and lets the interviewee talk - exactly what a host should do.

Up to the point where he's high and/or drunk, which does happen with him on show.

You’re likely not from the northeast.

That’s how we talk.
