>>13409778By most metrics I've seen, Lex is running at roughly 1/10th the level Rogan was at when he switched to Spotify. But Lex seems like the type to buy views and subscribers, so it might be even less than 10% of Rogan. This is despite him getting high quality guests thrown at him by some unknown source and him being endlessly shilled all over the place. Lex probably has a true engagement ceiling somewhere around half of what he's seeing now through being artificially propped up.
That's not too bad. He could have a nice little niche for himself like Isaac Arthur does but he wants to have his own cult following him and showering him with platitudes of greatness. He wants what Rogan has but doesn't have the personality to ever get it. Lex simply is unable to connect very deeply with the masses. Until he understands that, he's going to keep being Sisyphus, trying to accomplish something that is forever beyond his ability.
