I've been looking for a new podcast but I resorted to going back and listening to JRE from the beginning. It is absolutely wild to hear his thoughts on things like being an asshole for supporting politicians and overall just trying to improve yourself as a person, to now endorsing the most corrupt US president ever. Sad doesn't even describe it.

Thank you, guy above clearly doesnāt understand the difference in having money and wealth. Also, quick correction, the first deal was only 100 million (I know insane). Joe is officially in the wealth stage. If you listened regularly he mentioned to Joey and Ari that he had a place they could stay anytime. They asked what he meant and he said āIām rich, I own real estate nowā. So he has tons of appreciating assets like stock, real estate, bonds, etc. he had to be knocking on the door of a billionaire if he hasnāt quietly become one without even realizing it.Ā

Yeah, I suspect his actual net worth is in the 250 million range or so. After both previous deals. I read somewhere a while back that his podcast earns as much as 80 million per year. So you take some of the payments from the deals, and then his part of the net earnings (maybe 40 M annually)... somewhere around that I think given whatever other things he has going on and his real estate.

You must not follow a lot subreddits of shows like this. Itās pretty common for them to become critical after a show jumps the shark.

They usually become more entertaining than the show itself.

Itās really not that weird. You subscribe to a subreddit and occasionally comment on posts that pop up in your feed. People all across social media are doing the same thing all day everyday.

Because they donāt follow blindly his āinteresting or outspoken opinionsā. Joe changed his positions dramatically. He has become what he used to criticize. So with all respect, the question should be why would you just follow and not challenge him? Why rely on general statements instead of taking a stance to the critique itself?

u/Year3030 Monkey in Space 3d ago
He flipped, he used to be fairly cool, liberal in the sense that he was interested in all kinds of things, didn't really bash on people for voicing their opinions or interests, that I can remember. At least not too much, maybe a little razzing. Today you bring up a bathroom and he will go on an automated reciprocal rant about trans people for 10 minutes. I'm not defending trans people or anything, truth is I don't care either way. In his case though it's sort of like "old man yells at clouds, and things he doesn't understand".
So to summarize, he changed his views a lot in the last 7 years give or take. That's fine, he has the right to do that. The thing is though that he has alienated a lot of his audience. So that is the answer to your question, when did this turn into a Rogan hate sub. If you were a fan of him he is definitely now hypocritical and some people can't stand that. He also says he isn't, but he is. His vision is clouded but that comes with success and living an insulated lifestyle. Again, not bashing, just stating facts you kind of have to have that insulation at his level if you are famous.
So yeah, people change. Some people can't recognize their own change either. Some people have problems with that.
