It’s much harder to get cancelled or persecuted for something you said if it’s obscured and kept behind the loyalty test of listening to 4 hours of podcast.
You'd think so, but ,back in the day, Shane Gillis got cancelled exactly like that.
If your profile is lower, yeah, probably. I don't like this, because I'd hate for people to have more excuses to send endless whatsapp voice messages .

In so far as the punching up/punching down framework is helpful
This is a personal crusade far removed from the much more important topic of the election, but it isn't. It has never been, and it probably never will be. The person who introduced it is a cartoonist who has never made anyone laugh in his entire life, and it hasn't been endorsed by anyone who's actually funny (except maybe Bo Burnham, I don't know that he has, but he might've).

That's a drop in the water though. This place hasn't been healthy for a long time, and arguably wasn't even at its conception.
I don't think it can be, nobody just stumbles into these offshoot communities, so they tend to degenerate into a very base form of whatever birthed them into existence.
If anything, I'm kind of impressed at how similar this place seems to the subreddit from two years ago, although values-level disagreement is obviously lower.
Real dramatard hours over here.
