I've watched all of the media that I use to love turn to shit in the last decade. Myspace was great, for a time. Facebook was too. Digg. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Colbert. Chapelle. JRE. YouTube. Reddit. They all got mainstreamed (or ceased to exist altogether) and they all lost their edge.(self)
Yeah, Joe Rogan's new studio is engineered to be off putting. It looks cramped as fuck, the colors are painful to look at. The flag is gone, the shit he had on the table is gone. I'm pretty sure his guests don't feel comfortable. They did an amazing job destroying his podcast.
