Downvote away, but without some public platform, you'll never understand and combat these people.
See: Hells Angels interviews on primetime TV in the 70s-80s etc at the peak of the fear surrounding them.

The public platform being the Internet.
Nobody forced Rogan to move their content to a closed platform like Spotify. Before that they seemed to be able to discuss what they wanted with who they wanted.
But instead of their freedom of content production, they picked the money.
That's as simple as that.
If they want to keep producing "freedom" content they just have to break the contract (and give back some of the money) or produce under another name on self owned platform (and build back the community).
He is being more than fairly compensated. They don't have to host his white nationalist content.
They pay him handsomely for the privilege of removing the episodes where he uncritically nods along with the likes of Stephan Moleneaux and Alex Jones.
