I suspect he is the Taylor Swift or Mr Beast of talk shows. If you have no experience with music then Taylor is very accessible and easy to discover. Mr Beast will be on the front page when you visit Youtube if you don’t have an established watch history. I expect Rogen is popular because he is popular. The platforms promote him because he has an audience and he is always being discussed.

It is the lowest common denominator stuff. You can likely discuss Rogen along with the Cricket or free to air reality tv with regular people and be on common ground.

Rogan’s ignorance is comical and a bit concerning how many people hang on his words but he fills a niche that people seem to desire. They don’t want to be edgy or make an effort. They want to be like everyone else. When they claim to be upset about all the haters they are behaving more or less like Swifties. They absolutely love hanging out with other Swifties and can’t understand why we don’t all agree with them. That isn’t being a victim. That is petulance.
