Joe Rogan and the $100 Million Sock
When money and speech mix, it seems that money overrides the speech altogether. Take those deals from the "devil" with great care, fellow podcasters and truthers. Those strings can weigh you down.
Corporate media outfits like globalist Spotify have overtaken the podcast circuit, throwing around nearly limitless shareholder money in exchange for platform exclusivity — and an unspoken reining in of the topics some of these content creators previously discussed.
Take Joe Rogan, for example.
From fringe skeptic on all matters, to silent like a catatonic church mouse in the pandemic era: Rogan took a backseat to Pfizer / Moderna official narratives for six months, had on a physician guest who literally read pre-approved vaccine talking points off of her index card, and only after everyone had moved on does he stir up a little safe after-the-fact “controversy” with Robert Malone as a guest.
Everyone needs money, but take too much, and those strings attached may weigh down your voice altogether.
Rogan is a borderline cringe controlled opposition tourist at this point, not a truther, not even a guy who pursues his own natural curiosity. He’s dulled it, by design.
The $100 million gag sock wrecked what he was about, and what his audience thought he was about, by extension.
Enjoy that cash, and good riddance. It’s no longer an Experience. It’s a Shame is what it is. The Joe Rogan Shame, exclusively on Spotify lol.
