I don’t know why this was in my feed but guessing it has to do with Rogan, who I don’t really gaf about.

I mean, this is lol Reuters. You want to stop disinformation? Hire some competent science reporters.
idk, it seems like he’s had every opportunity to walk back some of the Sandy Hook stuff and avoid getting slammed with a massive lawsuit. I feel like he must believe it at some level to be willing to die on that bill. That’s not to say he isn’t playing things up for the cameras to some degree.
No wonder deplorables hate vaccines. STOP RESISTING THE VIRUS!
He believes it, and his beliefs are also very malleable, and his techniques are the same as those who do scams are all true.
One thing that the podcast Knowledge Fight opened my eyes up to was, before I thought he was a relatively harmless apolitical conspiracy theorist clown. After listening to Knowledge Fight you see that his conspiracy theories always swing to the right and always reinforce right wing nutjobs, never the left.
Two, he believes the stuff or at least in the broader mindset of conspiracy theories, but what he believes is also malleable depending on the his needs. Q was a threat to his income so he dissed Q until Q got so large that he adopted Q stuff to try and get the Q audience. He hypes up conspiracy theorists he likes even if what they’re saying is logically inconsistent with what he’s said. He tries to tamp down conspiracy theorists who he thinks is a threat. It’s basically like an Instagram influencer model but for the conspiracy theory mindset
And three he always hustles his audiences. He hypes up threats and then does a sales pitch on whatever he’s selling will help ameliorate the threat. He hypes up specific conspiracies that relate directly to what he’s selling even if they’re not en vogue. I’m thinking hyping up that zinc cures COVID just to sell zinc pills. He’s constantly selling selling selling. He does a bit every couple of months where he talks about how he’s going to quit until he gets enough sales etc.
He also seems unstable but I guess that goes along with being a conspiracy theorist for so long.
Lets check in on the establishment GOP media, surely they wont defend the spread of disinformation!

The whitehouse is asking Spotify to do more in regards to Rogan.
Joe Rogan’s instagram post was dishonest right off the bat. He justifies the recent run of misinformation because 8 months ago “you would be banned from social media” if you said any of the following:
- You could still get COVID even after being vaccinated
- You don’t think that cloth masks “work”
- If you think it’s possible that COVID came from a laboratory
These are all theories that were “banned”. I am not sure how heavy handed FB was with the lab theory, so there may some element of truth there.
It would be nice if some artists under the age of 132 also left in protest
I like Neil Young and all but even I was thinking “Neil Young is leaving Spotify? Lol, who cares.” Maybe if Springsteen and every other geriatric weren’t selling off their catalogs they could band together and have it matter, idk.
Thanks Obamas
I’m ok with former presidents staying silent. I would much rather have legit artists take action and lead a charge to force Spotify’s hand. Sure Neil Young alone doesn’t stand a chance against Spotify but someone had to get the ball rolling. Hopefully more relevant artists and musicians take a stand against Spotify and Rogan.
Because they can cram more ads into podcasts until they are stuffed like traditional radio and television.
They see the opportunity to destroy podcasting with too many ads.
