I knew he was a charlatan when I first saw him on Rogan a long time ago. He was pretty much the redditor version of a guru: all big, fancy sounding words that expressed absolutely nothing. Although the fact that he never criticized Judaism said it all
Rogan is one of a very small handful of content creators who could have easily jump-started a legitimate alternative video platform to compete with YouTube. Instead, he took the ticket.
My guess is he decided he couldn’t weather the inevitable storm of accusations of anti-Semitism, which come part and parcel with any attempt to break the media monopoly.

It's interesting how many personalities Rogan introduced me to over the years on YT that I would never know otherwise.
And how that all stopped when he disappeared behind the Spotify wall and I never followed.
I wonder what if anything has replaced Rogan as the incubator for myself and others to be introduced to new ideas and non-MSM personalities.
His clips are still on YT though I'm sure lots off people watch those.
I still do see his clips on YT.
But it's more akin to seeing what Rogan's up to rather than watching a full episode and leaning something new or getting to know someone.
I haven't watched a full episode since he left YT.
At least personally, his move to Spotify made him much less culturally relevant even if he's ungodly richer.
I wonder if he considered that.
