Honestly I don’t get the Joe Rogan hate. Seems like a pretty normal person to me, flaws and all.
There are a lot of average people out there. I don’t need to hear their ill informed takes, either. I would rather live in a world where we give out quarter of a billion dollar deals to people who do better, but that’s not the world we live in, so you’ll just have to deal with Rogan critics instead.

Rogan's endorsement might have pushed the Trump administration to victory. Easy to hate someone who directly contributed to the end of democracy in your country. (Though I guess the blame is more with the millions of people who take advice from a self-professed meathead.)

Joe Rogan probably did more to normalize fascism in the US than anybody. Despite those views being held by a large minority of people in the US, it was still seen as fringe. Whether Rogan was cause or symptom of fascism becoming mainstream, he's understandably widely hated for it.

Genuinely curious how people can think Joe Rogan is a fascist.
From article: ads are also running on: HBO Max, X, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, LinkedIn and Meta, as well as cable television channels. And what choice do these platforms really have? They either run ice ads, or risk getting on the bad side on the administration.

How so? To me Joe Rogan doesn’t appear to be a fascist. Genuinely curious how people can think Joe Rogan is a fascist.

I cancelled over it. Not worth it to support a company that is willing to profit from ICE.
If you think apple won't bend over for ICE you're crazy
This is one of (though not the only) reasons I'm uncomfortable having my music on Spotify. I do still publish there, but I vastly prefer my fans grab my music via IPFS or Bit Torrent. It's so bizarre that someone hovering over the "play" button on one of my songs doesn't know whether they're about to hear Harry's mandolin or an authoritarian recruiting pitch.
There's already an artist-led movement to boycott Spotify, if you were looking for motivation to move your stuff to a competitor like Bandcamp or Tidal. This article is not about the ICE advertisements. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/oct/12/spotify-b...

What about Bandcamp?

...but I think that the decentralized solutions are even better.
