The site’s analysis, titled “Hot Air,” looked at individual accounts on Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and news or blog sites that frequently spread climate misinformation
Nah, it doesn’t say anything about podcasts. So they specifically looked at platforms whose algorithms boost climate disinformation.
They cherry-picked sources, so “top 10” is totally misleading. If they included podcasts, I’m not sure there would be more than 1 or 2 in the top 10.
“they looked at the thing that they wanted to look at” also rogan is still among the top podcasts including on spotify. the study if you read it, is looking at what 21% of adults get news from. 77% of the sources that 21% get some or most of their news from are spreading climate misinformation.
We found substantial asymmetry in total following across platforms: Right-leaning online shows had at least 480.6 million total followers and subscribers — nearly five times as many as left-leaning.
Across platforms — YouTube, Rumble, Twitch, Kick, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — right-leaning online shows accounted for roughly 82% of the total following of the online shows we assessed.
Comparatively, left-leaning online shows had nearly 104 million followers and subscribers across the eight platforms — nearly five times less.
Nine out of the 10 online shows with the largest followings across platforms were right-leaning, with a total following of more than 197 million. The only left-leaning show among the top 10 was What Now? with Trevor Noah, which had 21.1 million total followers and subscribers across platforms.
Yeah, cause 1 rando’s unsupported opinion overrides a researched article that sites sources. You know, if you actually bother to click the links they provide. But hey, I guess you’re too clever for that.
Voters don’t read research articles though. They don’t have time to do research.
To them. Research is listening to some sock puppet who puts on the disguise of a layman’s podcast like Joe Rogan. Or they share bullshit that crazy uncles and foreign social media shitposters created on facebook

Yes, I concede rogan is one of the two.

Careful with that nuance that you don’t hurt anyone. It’s a dangerous substance on lemmy.
