Same here brah. I use finger tricks for much of my quick on-the-spot arithmetic. When I was young(14-24) I could do it in my head, as the years went on I started to rely on some rote memorization and the aforementioned finger shortcuts. These days (in my 50's) I unabashedly use the shortcuts and don't care what wtf anyone thinks...of course the gray in my beard stops most people from razz'in me.

Rogan is no different than Larry King or Phil Donahue. They're all talk show hosts, entertainers at best. Nothing of substance is gleaned from talk show entertainers. Besides the ways and means to fiddle with "view" numbers is well known to anyone who makes the effort to investigate it.
