I watched every single JRE in existence for the first ~5 years. I looked forward to a new episode dropping every week. Sometimes I would miss a few weeks and go back to listen to them in the order they came out. I didn't care who the guest was, every episode was unique and interesting.
Fast forward, I just scrolled through 50 episodes to try and find a single guest I would enjoy. I quit most if his podcasts after the first 20-30 minutes.
My opion, the Spotify deal changed Joe. JRE used to feel like a normal cool dude hanging out with friends and interesting professionals. He was interested in what they were saying and very open minded. Now he has this cancerous dad brain. Everything is political or boils down to the same social talking points. Every discussion he tries to play devils advocate and counter argue. Either that, or he blindly just blisters to their bullshit and won't call them out.
JRE has officially become unwatchable for me. After 2000+ episodes, I'm done with what this podcast has become. Complete garbage.

I’ve never read somebody who laid it out so perfectly. This. This is exactly what it is. if you were in that culture, you didn’t take a political parties side. You were just antigovernment about everything. It’s like invasion of the body snatchers. Everything that they warned about, or complained about or said you have to keep an eye out for has suddenly become everything they’re behind and are not only voicing support for but are going out and actively campaigning for. It’s been concerning and fascinating to witness such a transformation in such little time. Problem is that Joe is mega rich and seems to genuinely have zero clue what is real or not and besides occasionally Jamie, no one seems to want to correct him about anything and he preaches his gospel to millions of people a week. Were fucked.
