Joe Rogan - suggestions to switch my sibling to better media (lemmy.world)

My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

[No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

Thank you!

J Aubrey is a very entertaining long format YTer that explains many of the internet's worst villains. His take down of grifters don't target Joe himself, but help inoculate people from the "natural" hierarchies that dominate conservative thought.

Good God, he has some of the most cringey clickbait thumbnails I've ever seen.

And just watching the first 5 minutes of the Steven Crowder episode, he's for sure not someone the Joe Rogan crowd would be interested in watching.

My man, is this the first YT thumbnail you've ever seen?

Why, because popular YT formats are something the millions of normie Joe Rogan viewers all despise? I don't know man, you do you. But popular formats by definition are something the masses are comfortable with.
