I think he's changed a fair bit, how could he not? He's 12 years and nine figure earnings from where he was when the podcast started.

I believe he's more rigid in his opinions than he was years ago, but that's expected. He's gone from early 40s to mid 50s and from rich to fuck you wealthy. He's not a completely different person, he's just older with a bigger ego.

The covid issue has caused a big divide because it is such an emotional topic for so many. Now he's a dangerous far right pundit to some, a courageous defender of free speech and common sense to others, people who don't like the podcast now must want him to be like the View, etc etc.

I don't get why people can't drop those absurd extremes and just listen to as much or as little JRE as they feel like.
