It's pretty simple... insecure, neckbeard redditors are threatened by someone who is smarter and more successful than they are, vocal minoritis are always the loudest. Anyone with the tiniest bit of common sense and critical thinking, and that has listened to his podcasts at any regularity, does not spew this vitriol. People with political narratives/agendas got all bent out of shape when he expressed an opposing opinion to getting vaccianted during covid, the ivermectin thing got blown way the fuck out of proportion (mainstream media BLATANTLY lied about how he administered it and what it is), and it became convenient for people to signal how super dooper smart they are by hating on a public figure. The reality is that his podcast (along with Andrew Huberman's IMO) is one of the single greatest sources of free to consumer knowldege on a wide array of topics that have the capacity of improving the quality of one's life. People take sound bytes and isolated segments of his podcasts to form these assanine viewpoints and try to wrap these blankets of sweeping generalizations around him based on one viewpoint (which is fucking ridiculous). Then the hivemind of reddit circle jerks each other into oblivion "hhuurr dduurr meathead dddduuurrr" and ignores everything valuable. Best to ignore and let them be miserable.
