I listened to a lot of Rogan podcasts. Mainly before 2020. It was a different time and the show was a lot more interesting with a range of guests from different backgrounds. The few times I’ve listened post 2021 have all felt a lot more political and conspiratorial. It’s been a sad deterioration of a show I once found entertaining.
It’s worth noting that Rogan used to be deep into moon landing conspiracies. He mentions on his show a few times how he now sees the error of his ways. Perhaps some people just have tendencies for conspiracy and it was only a matter of time before another took hold.
Prior to 2020 he was already peddling 9/11 truth conspiracies, fake moon landing conspiracies, and anti-vax conspiracies. His entire success rests on pushing absurd nonsense to credulous bros to make them feel like they're "in the know".
