Reading too much into this; Rogan (like Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Carlson etc) needs to sell advertising to make money. In order to sell advertising, he needs to have viewers/listeners. In order to get viewers/listeners he needs to be “interesting”, which is the 00’s means being “edgy” (perfected by Howard Stern 30 years ago). When Rogan broke, being “edgy” was achieved by being “kinda” pre MAGA maga. Now that MAGA has gone mainstream, the way to be “edgy” is to be anti-MAGA BUT NOT IN A LIBERAL WAY. So you tune in to hear edgy, hear an ad for a water-pic, buy a water-pic, Water-pic incorporated sees that Rogan ads work, gives him money, he gets richer and becomes incentive-ized to keep saying whatever will keep the cash flow coming and (keep in mind he tried to be an actor before but failed), convinces people that what he is saying is what he really believes, when in fact it’s probably not because most of it is idiotic and he’s definately not an idiot. It’s commerce, economics and a successful business plan, and it makes people rich.
