  8. The thing is all these companies read our comments and they still totally keep doing what they do. Its very clear to me that all the comments on you tube are sifted through and that they make projections and analysis about popular opinion and marketing. Why wouldnt they? Its a free pool of information for their power and money making schemes. Every day I get more and more discusted and opposed to mainstream media, I think we are in some super wierd times. Like they seem to be doing propaganda like the nazies did, (maybe not that bad but still)

  9. I have come to think that when people want to shut down free speech or quiet someone, it seems so backwards that I almost want to automatically think that they cant handle the truth and that they are lying. I have never ever been a conspiracy theorist or a tinfoil hat wearer but with all the coverups and censorship of the covid pandemic I am starting to think the anti vacciners are right. Bascially what they dont think people can reason for themselves? man I am an adult let me decide what I believe and let me have all the evidence from both sides. If there is bs it will come out. Basically they are saying to "do this" and dont question anything, such hypocrisy. I think this is super serious and I almost want to promote ……….this is super serious .

  10. The people who are saying it’s harmful are the ones that are trying to control everyone , you can guarantee that. I think if anyone tries to control people in this day and age they are asking for trouble. Or will get it. Freedom of speech is worth fighting for. Every single time.

  16. Dr Malone is not lying!
    The Jabs of poison are an abomination created by Globalist elites who own Big Pharma and don't care if we live or die!! It's all about money and controlling humanity and we need the Joe Rogan's of the world to let us know the truth!!

  17. bbc literally saying "if he doesnt share our opinion, people are to stupid what to make out of that information"… guess what BBC, maybe some people, wanna make up their own mind, instead of becoming biased information

  18. It is INSANE to me what people believe about Rogan. Ask the average liberal what Joe is and they will say a right wing extremist and trump supporter. Could not be farther from the truth and they would know that if they listened to literally one half an episode. He never once endorsed any of these vaccine ideas or makes any recommendations. All he really tells people is to be healthy (which is proven to help COVID cases). But all CNN has to do is say he is “dangerous to our democracy” and their sheep viewers believe it.

  25. My family and I all got covid none of us vacinated every one slight cold cough i got it the worse everything the news talks about couldnt breath all that i was 2 breaths away from going to the hospital stayed home thank God i got thro it one year later i finally took the vaccine i didnt want to experience that again no one else in my family but me got it every one got covid again except me and my youngest daughter vaccine worked but also every one didnt really get as sick as i did the first time i never forced any one to get the vaccine i got it because it was my choice never told my wife to get it or took my kids to get it i trully belive you should get the vaccine if you feel you need to but if you dont than dont stop listening to the news government and conspiracy theories do it for yourself and what you think is best

  27. Spotify 'explainer'? Well if you need a lesson, freedom loving Americans don't mind schooling you. We adopted the Austrian School of Economics, in case you forgot what your civil war was about, Britain.

  29. I lived in New Zealand and they never once have pharmaceutical commercials saying if you taken something it can kill you they believe in dealing with your problems not popping a pill in your mouth but you know the pharmaceutical World they don't care about anybody but themselves

  30. Where in the hell is the Democracy going for Spotify to say about Joe Rogan's opinions they themselves know the doctors don't even know what the hell's going on talk about a bunch of fascists just like Johnson & Johnson that kill a lot of people as long as the whole pharmaceutical f**** world

    Exactly Spotify chose it's position to allow the freedom of not only speech but music as well, a business is a business and must do what is in the best interest to keep their business alive. Spotify is not doctor, nor a doctors office, and Spotify doesn't give medical advice. It's not their fault or their responsibility to regulate what people say about covid-19, Spotify shouldn't control the narrative of what they think and don't think COVID is. So I see this as one of the few companies who aren't trying to get political or censor someone based on opinions.

    If someone doesn't want to be on Spotify because of someone else's opinion I think that's the musicians problem, not Spotify's.

    It's actually shocking that Adults act immature like this, I've seen children who are more mature and have the capability to understand differing opinions.

  35. The thing about Joe Rogan is he represents the majority of the public – hes not an expert, intelligent, but things still go over his head, and he forgets things like the majority of people. He has conversations woth interesting people, and the public get to list in. They feel natural because he is genuinely curious.
    As aposed to a news show where expects are the minority, and they condescendingly talk to their viewers. News agencies can learn from Joe Rogan. Hire interesting people, slightly above average intelligence and people who want to know the truth and address their biases.
