It’s been a few months since the mainstream media made Joe Rogan their #1 target. CNN, Spotify employees, Netflix employees, and celebrities like Neil Young and Howard Stern all demanded Joe Rogan be taken off the air or censored because of people he’d platformed on his podcast, and of course the infamous N-word compilation that went around.

For his part, Rogan apologised for his use of the N-bomb over the years but not for anything he or his guests had said about Covid or the vaccine. Well it turns there was no need to worry about the efforts to mute or cancel him, because the whole palaver resulted in him gaining 2 million followers:

Elsewhere on the episode, Rogan & Murray made fun of CNN’s subscription-only service CNN+ going bust after a month. Apparently CNN spent $300 million on the project and only bagged 100,000 subscribers. Ouch. Rogan said:

“Imagine the hubris of thinking that something that people don’t want for free … that you’re going to charge money for it.”

Think about what an absolute fail that is. A major news outlet spends all that time and energy trying to take down a comedian podcaster, only to inadvertently add 2 million people to his audience. Then he gets to sit back and watch them throw away $300 million on a streaming service that collapses after a month. What an unbelievable backfire that pretty much anyone with a brain saw coming.

Will big time mainstream companies like CNN learn their lesson from this? Probably not. And it’s people like Joe Rogan who stand to benefit from the ignorance of those who despise him the most.
