Most celebs are conservative in reallity, just like most rich people, no one wants the gobernment in their wallets.

Millionaires and Billionaires who care about where every cent of their tax dollar goes would have cared even if they only made $25,000. Just look at your average Republican poor cac.

Empathy is a genetic trait. You either have it, or you don't.

Money don't change that. It just amplifies it one way or the other.

Breh Rogan isnt a news source. Hes a motnerfukker with a podcast. No one here know what its like to have 11 million ppl listen to your conversations everyday. Ya hold people like him to these high standards and try to put boundaries over what hes allowed to discuss. What if gillie and wallo start getting that many listeners with million dollars worth of game, are we going to start dictating what wild shyt comes out of gillies mouth? The same with drinkchamps, if nore gets 11 million listeners are we going to say nore needs to be more responsible with alcohol because hes influencing people to become alcoholics? These dudes dont hold any obligation to anyone, if you dont like what they say then dont listen

Gillie and Nore don't have anywhere near the same content and guests that Rogan have. That's such a silly comparison.

What content does rogan have? Random conversations with random people?

Again, are you going to police nore and gillie if they wake up tomorrow with 11 million listeners?

These are all just motherfukkers with microphones and the internet. Rogan isnt special. He just has to deal with more people crying about what he speaks about. But ultimately he can talk about whatever he wants, and people can choose not to listen

That "regular guy with a microphone" shyt goes out the window when you accept $100 mil to be the biggest streamining platform, and you moving out of Cali to Texas because the "taxes" are too high... stop with the obtuse bullshyt. This is the same guy who tried to pass off white genocide in South Africa as fact...

Everything else I agree with... folks can choose to not listen.

Bruh, not sure if you're being disingenuous or what.

On one side, they host shows talking about rap history and current events, pop culture bullshyt, and general celebrity gossip.

On the other side, he regularly has guests on that talk about antivaxxing, climate change denial, white replacement theory...the shyt ain't even in the same hemisphere.

I would ask for the same consideration from Gillie and Nore NOW if the had the same cross-section of material even though they have 10 times less audience size.

You can inadvertently become things when you have a large enough platform. I'm not asking him to stop hosting these people. I'm asking him to maintain some semblance of journalistic credibility and balance out the guests he has on his show.

Was he supposed to say no? Dude was putting out his podcast for FREE for YEARS. Spotify came to him with a bag and told him just keep doing what you was doing. I dont see how that adds extra reponsibility to him

Even without spotify he wouldve had the platform he has now. If anything hes lost listeners because so many people hated the spotify move from youtube.

At the end of the day, podcasters ARE just people with microphones. They have no radio station/tv network telling them what they can or cant say. Me and you can start our own shyt. Will it be as big as someone who been in showbiz for 30 years? No, but the room to grow will always be there and the freedom to say whatever you want will be there too
