Joe Rogan explains why social media hate doesn\u2019t affect him anymore Spotify\/Joe RoganPodcast giant Joe Rogan has explained why he\u2019s no longer bothered by social media hate despite it making him feel \u201chelpless\u201d in the early days. While he may have the biggest and most successful podcast in the world, Joe Rogan has an equal amount of critics as well \u2013 and has repeatedly come under fire for comments made on his JRE shows. Like many others, the UFC commentator maintains a steady social media presence across Twitter and Instagram, routinely posting on the latter. So, it\u2019s unsurprising to see his comments section filled up with equal amounts of support and trolls. Given he has such a huge reach these days, you might expect that some of that hate to outweigh the support and become a negative. Though, according to Rogan, he\u2019s pretty unbothered by it. During episode 1836 of the JRE Podcast, Rogan had writer Ryan Holiday on the show, with the pair talking about building up resilience and stoicism in quite some detail. That led Rogan to use the example of social media, as he explained he\u2019s now unbothered by the negative replies. \u201cMe personally, I have something like 15 million Instagram followers and nine million Twitter followers \u2013 it\u2019s a lot of people. And if I absorb all of their opinions, it is unmanageable,\u201d he said. \u201cBut, I\u2019m so accustomed to people talking s**t about me that I can read someone being really mean about me and I just go \u2018ha.\u2019 Like, it doesn\u2019t get me anymore, but it used to get me.\u201d Timestamp of 42:00 Rogan noted that in the early days of social media, the hate did make him \u201cfeel helpless\u201d but he\u2019s learned to deal with it, given an angry reaction is what many people are after. \u201cI think there is a certain amount of resilience that you can build from social media,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s just like snake venom. Take a little bit of it and you develop a tolerance, but if you get too much of it, it\u2019s gonna f**king kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
