hey its one of those titles I hate. And everyone thinks it will take so long to be like reddit was.

If you subscribe to Spotify, your money contributes to this behavior.

You're right. Where should I go instead? I'm on Android so I can't do Apple music.

Apple Music exists on Android and is very good. Supports all sorts of Android specific features. It’s a good citizen of the platform.

I'm on Android and I use Apple Music. It's very good and well worth it. This is coming from someone who still despises Apple, but my partner used Apple Music and we got a family plan.

My solution is Newpipe. It is an alternative YouTube front end you can download via F-Droid that lets you access YouTube, peer tune and Bandcamp without ads. It isn't as good as YouTube music especially since you don't actually have an account, but you can still make local playlists and download music.

I switched to Tidal about a year ago and have been pretty happy with it. Better audio quality, they compensate musicians better, and I prefer the UI. They both have 80m+ songs.

Sure you can. I've been using it for years.

I left that garbage heap many years ago. Rogan's show is just one of the pieces of garbage in the pile there.

Man, Joe Rogan had his chance to be a unifying voice for America 3.5-4 years ago, but that fuck decided to take $$$ instead and now spouts non-stop garbage nonsense like this.
-
Rogan's been a dickhead for decades. Here he is appearing on Alex Jone's show Infowars back in 2010. According to Alex Jones, him and Rogan are great buddies and talk/text all the time.
Note, the podcast I linked is called KnowledgeFight and is two comedian types covering Infowars. Just letting you know if you listen to that you won't be exposed to a straight feed of Infowars nonsense, you'll have the filter of two smart and funny guys giving context and breaking things down in between clips.

It’d be really interesting to see what he’d be talking about if the Corona pandemic never happened.
-
It would still be "I'm just asking questions" about whether or not the moon landing happened and if lizard people exist.

Toxic meathead, community parasite. Jamie pull that up.

People are greedy for money and power. Like the Reddit CEO.

-
Experts often point to Mastodon, Bluesky and Meta's planned Twitter rival as possible options.
Ah, yes. I'm sure Zuck is the answer here.🙄

Anyone mind summarizing what this is about?
I dont feel like falling for clickbait

tl;dr
Joe Rogan hosted RFKjr on his show, vaccine researcher Peter Hotez replied to the post on Twitter with the old article titled "Spotify is no longer even trying to staunch the flow on Joe Rogans vaccine misinformation" while commenting that all Joe does is "spread nonsense".This prompted Joe to offer Hotez a large sum of money donated to his charity of choice, as a reward for publicly debating RFKjr on Joe's show, with no time limit. Hotez said he would go on the show, but that a debate with RFKjr would not be productive.
A twitter argument followed involving Elon Musk, Mark Cuban, and RFKjr on the topic of whether Hotez has an obligation or not to accept the debate with RFKjr.
Why it's a story: Things came to a head with Hotez being harassed outside of his home by Rogan fans. The individuals demanding that Hotez debate RFKjr recorded Hotez entering his home as they attempted to persuade him. Here's a time stamped link to a news story that shows the video the harassment accused posted https://youtu.be/Okd-f-0yD58?t=18

Being a scientist and being a debater are different skill sets. In science debate is done via peer review and papers and in the case of medicine by doing trials.
RJK and Rogan are fucking morons and the only way to debate them would be to continually call them evil stupid fucks because that's what they are. Anything else is going to allow them to edit your comments to make them look like to their stupid evil audience.

Rogan had RFKjr on his show spouting anti-vax nonsense for three hours, they were called out by a scientist involved with developing COVID vaccines, and then they piled on when said scientist refused to "debate" RFKjr on the podcast.
-
I loath the idea of debating conspiracy theorists, it give them a platform and lends legitimacy to their ideas. Daniel Dennett said it right that these people are playing tennis without the net. No logic or reasoning will matter nor proofs of any kind, they aren't motivated by good faith discovery and discussions.

I left Spotify a couple years ago because of Rogan’s anti-vax bullshit. This is not new.
-
You mean about the time he spoke about strengthening immune systems and not being worries about Covid then getting it and throwing 15k worth of treatment on himself right away? Yeah. I dropped his show too.
-
Why would you ever pick it up?
I’ve never heard anything from this dipshit because he was pretty obviously a dipshit years ago and nothing has changed.

Twitter did not respond to a request for comment.
Isn't Musk the Twitter mouthpiece now? Hasn't he already made his position known?
-
They aren’t even sending poop emoji back now? Times must be really hard...

I think that what makes Joe Rogan so dangerous is that he is so good at saying things with such confidence that people just believe him. He can outright say "I'm just an idiot and I don't know anything about this" and his off-the-cuff ramblings still sound like legitimate ponderings to people who also don't know anything about the topic, just because of the way he says them. It's scary.
