Okay, so this is satire of someone real doing this, and I'm out of the loop. Is this Rogan whining about people hating his terrible comedy?

It's about Chappelle and Ellen having comedy specials on Netflix where they talk about being cancelled.

And they are not even the only comedians doing this. It's basically a trope at this point.
