What was learn after 350 hours of Joe Rogan?

Joe was tracked since 2020.

Rogan’s in stress of his relentless podcasts got more argumentative and more authoritative in his beliefs.

He has become more emboldened to push baseless conspiracy theories and right-wing lies over the past years. He lied about left-wing people starting wildfires in Oregon, and then again encourage healthy, young people not to get vaccinated. He hasn't really seen any blow back in these compilations.

This has emboldened him to continue pushing hate and lies on his podcast. He doesn't really tell conspiracy theories but leans into established ones - parroting.

For this reinforcement he is celebrated in conservative spaces for it.

He is now a talking head; like Tucker whose preaching reassurance that the right's exaggerated narratives are a semi-norm or accepting narrative to believe without lead facts or data from specialist. In fact there is real push to ignore any of these.

TLDR; Joe Rogan show is a looping, reinforcing brainwash tool for his viewers that then subsequently cycles his audiences praise on to him perpetually pushing him to be more direct with the right's most recently repeated conspiracy. (IE. He hosts an echo chamber.)
