Does anyone else notice Joe Rogan using dark pattern advertising?


This is a good example:

This is obviously a Dan Carlin ad. I noticed one recently where he just asks the guest about their glasses, and the guest proceeds to straight up advertise a website that sells those glasses.

It feels like a very disingenuous way of advertising and it's happening more and more.

Who knows, maybe this is an ad, but I seriously doubt it. You're making baseless accusations with no evidence, that don't even make much sense to me. You've seriously never recommended something to a friend without being paid for it?

Timestamp please. Or, are you just promoting JR's show?

Are the guests being paid? Can someone not share a good buying experience and recommend it to others without it being seen as an ad?
