I wish people would stop giving the Joe Rogans and Rush Limbaughs of the world more attention than they deserve. Debating whether they're right or wrong about anything just gives them more legitimacy than they deserve. They're a sideshow. They're hucksters waving their hands and making noise to make a buck.

Yup.
They've learned that doing outrageous things and pissing people off makes the line go up and so they're going to keep doing that regardless of the consequences to discourse in society because it puts money in their pocket
This is a bit embarrassing maybe, but I have actually enjoyed listening to a couple of episodes of the Joe Rogan podcast. In the few episodes I have listened to he has been able to get some good conversations going.
One could easily and rightfully criticize him platforming a lot of his guests, but this is where it gets a bit tricky.
He gives a voice to people that has interesting things to say, that in some way contribute in society or contributes to a discussion, and people that are completely psychotic. The latter should not be platformed, both for their own good and society. Alex Jones was an example of that. Joe Rogan should have stopped that episode in its tracks, or not have aired it.
I stopped listening more as a sort of boycott, not because I could not find any sort of value in his episodes sometimes.
Edit: The reply is probably correct. Joe Rogan does tend to not be skeptical and does platform a lot of evil people as well. The people in his podcast rarely meets any real opposition from Joe.

"if €Gender would ..." - time to say: "No."
Sometimes I want an AI just to block every and all mentions of that American 'podcaster'.
Great comeback.
I think it's adorable that you think they'd listen to a male scientist who told them they were being idiots.
Hmm I bet male accidental deaths decreased because of divorced
I cringed
Maybe surprisingly for you, many women are not able to restrain themselves from killing.
With that said, whenever anyone overgeneralizes, I know immediately they're either willfully ignorant or just dumb, and any opinion they voice should simply be taken with a mountain of salt.
The violent crime rant leaning overwhelmingly male says otherwise
No, that's flawed reasoning.
If someone says second hand smoke kills people, it doesn't make them wrong simply because someone points out that car accidents kill more people.
Both things can be true
I dislike how the guy swooped in to save the day (again). I'm sure she was perfectly capable of ripping him a new one.
Sometimes we have to swoop in because we don't want to see an absolute massacre, lol
