    r/joerogan was full of OG fans before he flipped to being a conservative tool. So people were rightfully calling him out for the longest time until people just started to move on. I say that as someone who listened in early days and had great fun with the stoner community just being curious about life.

      Man, I genuinely miss the first few years. There were just so many interesting people on, great conversations, and without any nazis, it was wonderful 😭

        Yeah so many of people I followed since early 00s are turning into spiteful, senile idiots. Makes me worry about my own aging - do we all degrade into these mindless zombies eventually? Just put me down if I ever show symptoms like that.

      Exactly, and it was clear the powerfuljre subreddit was all bots and shills. I think no one is actually listening anymore. Spotify always tries to auto play it when I leave a podcast on and fall asleep I think those numbers are being padded because they paid him all that money. I think a good chunk of his OG audience hates the chud heel turn, and I legit don’t think he’s actually as popular now as he’s made out to be. He tried to boost some chud comedian’s special recently and it got like 20,000 views.
