    he just says what his listeners want to hear.

    This has literally always been his schtick. He also constantly agrees with everything his guest say even when they completely contradict each other.

    He’s got no actual opinions on anything and never has.

      I don’t like Rogan much, but i listened to him pretty regularly long before he moved to Spotify, when he was slightly less of a grifting bullshiter…

      He absolutely does not just agree with his guests. He regularly used to tear into them over bullshit they spouted. Now is he still as principled after all this time? I wouldn’t be surprised to find out no he isn’t. But he USED to challenge guests pretty often at least.

      Same with that Diary of a CEO guy, dude never goes deep in his interviews, never questions an outrageous or unsubstantiated claim of his guests. And this guy has become really popular as well. It’s like people even as a 3rd party listener don’t like to hear criticism or even just critical thinking from an interviewer.
