i think that misses the mark. rogan's bread and butter was having smart, interesting people on his show and giving them a platform to speak candidly, judgment free with nearly unlimited space to fill.

he's still doing that, but with complete cranks who are spreading bullshit.

that's the problem here. he is passing these phony grifters off as serious and legitimate people.

he always did it with both smart people and cranks though. The only difference is COVID.

but he had people like Milo, Gavin McGinnis, Candace Owens etc back in the day too. Alien abductees. And he still has smart people on also. The last one I listened to was general McMaster.

This discussion isn't about a private corporation enforcing rules on their platform. It's about Neil Young's actions.

Do you think it's totally fine if one man tries to get another man kicked off streaming services because they don't like their content? What if you love the content but not the man? In this example the man is rich and famous, the content creation is a nobody. It's me or them. Answer honestly. Oh, there's an angry mob on his side as well.

Yes I fully support Neil Young and don’t give many shits about Joe Rogan

Whether it’s the drugs or being a stubborn fool he’s let his personal leanings on things he’s completely wrong about affect who he invites on his show and how he treats his guests.

absolutely how he treats his guests. Agree 100%. But he still had Gupta on and that Aussie that made him look like an idiot on that clip that went viral. But he treats them very adversarially, and defers to the nuts for sure on COVID.

Not sure if planned or China taking advantage of the hand dealt.

Well this is the long-term play but of course China is always looking for opportunities to drive the wedge. And of course they’re emboldened by HK. As Deng Xiaoping said, reunification is inevitable, and if not 100 years then 1000 years.

Young merely asked Spotify to choose or he would choose for them. He's perfectly fine with not being on their platform and that's his right. You are judged by the company you keep and Young no longer wishes to keep company with Rogan. He isn't censoring anyone, he's merely saying that he will not be part of any entity that also promotes Rogan. It's the same reason why I don't wear a Leafs jersey. I don't wish to be associated with them. I'm not stopping you from buying one. Your right to 55 years (and counting) of misery is yours to enjoy. But I'm not interested in joining you.

maybe because you've got 29 years (and counting) of misery of your own to enjoy

Funny how the party of "Protect the children!" and "Hillary and Biden are pedophiles who eat babies" are also a haven for child molesters. I can't remember the last time I read about a guy who was labeled a "white supremacist" without also finding out that said person was also charged and/or convicted of child porn or something similar. It's like the two go hand in hand.
