I enjoy listening to a variety of podcasters. One of the things I look for is podcasters who do not have terrible ads thrown in. So that cuts out a large percentage of them as they all have some rediculous sell out. (ExpressVPN anyone, or perhaps you need some manscaping lmao)

--

One exception is Scott Adams - Dilbert Creator.

He doesn't do ads, but he does sell out....

He promotes his stock investments .... without really being upfront about it, but not hiding it either.

He has been blindly elon fanning himself for a while because he wants to promote the stocks which he invests in.

He has a deal with Musk....he wont criticize musk without giving him an out everytime...even when its low hanging fruit.

But he will grab the fruit from any one else....so why not musk?

Well I have come to the conclusion...he is a sellout. But he doesn't want to be associated with it as he thinks of "persuasion as his strength" and likes psyoping people.

If you have listened to him like I have...its clear he doesn't just speak his own opinions...his opinions are always aligned in a very specific way....designed to push the narrative.....the 'faux' conservative narrative.

he is a RINO, but was "pro-trump" when it suited him, but he dumped trump as soon as he could....but only when it was after the election..

I enjoy the lack of ads...but he is insufferably fake. Its like listening to 50% sincere opinion, and 50% paid opinion....excpet he does not specify the advertising.
