Thanks for the responses, everyone. I had heard some of that or read some of that elsewhere, but in the same way I’m a fan of Star Trek and Star Wars but am NOT a fanatic, trekkie, cosplayer, obsessed groupie with no life, etc., I am not fixated on Jan 6, conspiracies, etc. I have never heard a Rogan podcast, regardless of how popular he is, in fact I’m not a podcast fan at all, of anything/anyone. And it’s dangerous for anyone to trust google results—they’re filtered by google and influenced by groups that post false information in large numbers to get their false results up to the top of a search. But even the MSM throws in short identifiers when they mention names, at least the first time, or throw in a phrase that lets you know what the overall topic is about, even if sometimes misleading or false: “...disgraced ex-CBS CEO Joe Blow...” or “....the debunked claim that the FBI planted the diaries....” etc. are just some examples. I won’t apologize for expecting some basic info on posts that tell me whether it’s worth my time to follow their links or their logic. After all, if I’m expected already to know all about the subject matter, why even post the threads in the first place, unless the reason to give important updates or to teach the unwashed masses the basics? But there’s only so much time in a day, and, yes, it’s easier to type out a question than to google and wade through cyber-mud.
