re: Anyone else feel like the “intellectual dark web” is full of hucksters?

I don't really consider Rogan a part of the IDW, I think he's unintentionally gathered a massive base of younger conservative/libertarian subscribers and did not fully realize that to his wet fart interview with Jack Dorsey

Dave Rubin? No way. Peterson? No. Only reason he famous right now is because the government tried to force him to use speech he didn't want to use and the story blew up.
Shapiro isn't a huckster. He's certainly no fan of Trump.
I'd group Jimmy Dore in there too with IDW. He's been shitting all over the false Russia narrative all while still hating on Trump. So it's been fun to watch.

Shapiro, a pro-war and zionist traditional leaning Republican, has fooled a sizable portion of conservatives that he is some authority on small government. Lmao

I don't think any of the major "thinking" members (Peterson, Harris, the Weinstein bros) could be considered anything close to hucksters. They're just men who have found themselves espousing ideas that have really picked up a following in the online space. Rogan is only considered part of it because he has them all on his podcast and that gets them a lot of coverage, and he's pretty good at it. Same with Rubin, though I think he's probably the one who is closest to the idea of a huckster. He's really just trying to ride the coat tails of all those other "members", but he does have some good interviews every now and then.
I really don't like the term "Intellectual Dark Web". It really tries to hard to pull all these disparate players onto one team, when they are all mostly just people who were doing their thing long before the term came about.

Jordan Peterson - has parlayed not using ridiculous gender pronouns to YouTube lectures, a potential online college, books, etc. I’ve heard him on Rogan a half dozen times and couldn’t tell you where this guy really stands politically. He says some things that are common sense (men need purpose, trans stuff is out of control) and people go nuts
JP isn’t political.

Agreed.
I usually enjoy his show, and I support his style of interviewing, where - God forbid - he lets the guest talk without shouting them down and is generally receptive to their ideas without too much judgment.
That being said, he says some ridiculous things and fancies himself smarter than he is.
He once said that he could never become addicted to anything because he is too mentally strong.
Yea, OK, Joe.
He also recently posted the results of some IQ test he took to Facebook (like anyone gives a shite), with the standard feigning of humbleness that frequently occurs on social media. "I thought I was dumber."
Shut up, you jackass.

He's a clincial psychologist discussing the problems young people are having developing in a dangerous an crazy culture. He's not a politician. But he does make some great points when discussing marriage and child rearing and the biological differences of genders and the dangers of identity poltics.

The biggest dark web hucksters name starts with the 17th letter of the alphabet. The rest are mere trolls.

Shapiro isn't perfect but he's done more to advance conservative ideas on college campuses than anyone else. None of the people in the media especially are going to be the perfect conservative we would draw up in a lab, but we need to support the ones who are articulate and for the most part advance the conservative cause.

Neither are IDW

You’re a dunce.
The IDW is a name (made tongue in cheek) to describe a place where long form open discussions could take place especially about politically incorrect topics.
It’s incredibly valuable to have a place where intelligent and educated people with different points of view can meet to openly discuss and debate topics so as to by-pass the MSM, which is inadequate at best, and fake news/agenda driven at worst.
