Guys, you’re still trying to replace Joe Rogan. I told you we can’t do it. And we can’t do it. Now what we might be able to do is recreate him in the aggregate. - ThreadSky

Pick up the guy that does the Skyrim unemployment videos, he can get on base!

apologist.bsky.social•120 days ago

idk why you’d replace Joe Rogan, he just gets high and lets his mind meander: just fill up his bookings with wonky libs, would he even notice? Probably not. Just gotta bribe his producers

Give him like, 6 months and he'll probably change his political orientation again either way

We have to start buying up undervalued twitch streamers

I think we could get a lot of exciting prospects in a blockbuster trade of Hasan.

gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social•120 days ago

We just need someone who can play first base. It's not hard.

Memes aside, I also think it's worth looking at the two different components of the RW content-o-sphere: entertainers and partisans. Your entertainers (Rogan, Paul bros, Nelk Boys) were not political from the jump; they cultivated audiences and then fed the RW stuff to an audience that trusted them.

jameshazen.bsky.social•119 days ago

I was shitposting when I suggested Thor, but thinking on it he kinda works as a progressive-Rogan:
- non-partisan
- friendly
- wants people to learn and grow and provides spaces for people to do it
- encourages people to be involved and build community
- lgbtq friendly
- zero tolerance for bigots

jameshazen.bsky.social•119 days ago

Forgot to add

- disdain for big corporations

jameshazen.bsky.social•119 days ago

He refuses to talk openly about politics, but you don't necessarily need him to if you want the benefit of it. Just start having dems and progressives repost his stuff. People will start making the association on their own.

the-batman.bsky.social•120 days ago

Your partisans (Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Tim Pool) have been political from the jump, and they are absolutely blind partisans to the GOP/Trump specifically now. The biggest left podcasts/streamers (Chapo Trap House, Hasan, Vaush, etc.) constantly bash the Democratic Party.

the-batman.bsky.social•120 days ago

Democrats don't have blindly partisan people in the content-o-sphere to the extent that the right does, and some lib billionaire should probably start refining these blind partisans to have their own apparatus like these right-wingers do just as much as they seek the next Rogan or Nelk Boys.

Hear me out: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

mathiasrust.bsky.social•119 days ago

I mean I'm sure someone has asked. But he's in retirement, he's not the indefatigable young talent you need to put a thousand hours of podcasts/twitch/whatever online

jamph.bsky.social•119 days ago

Maybe not, but I could see him getting a media outfit like this off the ground, he has the know how and resources, he knows how to reach these kinds of people and he knows how to recruit and manage people.

the-batman.bsky.social•119 days ago

Funnily enough, he does have a daily newsletter and semi-regular podcast called Arnold's Pump Club focused on health and wellness. Couldn't hurt to have Dems target an audience that is (a) presumably predominantly male and (b) concerned about health and may be more susceptible to RFK-esque bullshit.

A million liberal Joe Rogans?
