This is just me speculating here, but you guys have heard the saying that there is no such thing as bad publicity, right?
Spotify is going to use leftist rage to their benefit. It will create a massive amplification of the Streisand effect as people flock to Spotify and Joe Rogan to see what all the insanity is about, because people appreciate and recognize Joe Rogan for his world-famous show. The massive amount of attention will drive in MORE listeners, not less, even if some small percentage of lefties cancel out of rage.
Barry Manilow is leaving Spotify because of Rogan. The 6 Spotify users that listen to Barry are really pissed. Add that to the 20 Spotify users who listen to Neil and, well, those guys are pissed.
Kek!
I can’t believe that old bastard is still alive
This is pure comedy when fuckin Barry Manilow thinks I gave a fuck what platform his ahem "timeless" music is streamed at. If he thinks any living human being gives a fuck about anything he is doing I would like to take this opportunity to correct him in that statement.
Here is the thing, the people that listen to his vapid music, aren't doing in spotify. They still have their vinyl from some 40 odd years ago. They showed up at the hard-negotiating table and we all had a good laugh. They brought nothing of actual value when they decided "him or me" (LOL) younger people that use Spotify do not give a flying fuck about a Neil Young or Manilow.
Barry Manilow should leave.
Who?
Will those that flock be disappointed to find that Joe Rogan is being censored on Spotify by deleting certain pod casts? The ones deleted so far were posted here a few days ago.
They know that the listening audience represents a huge majority of their market. They wouldn’t cancel Joe unless there were some serious threats. Arkancide type threats.
"We could have got away with all this if people like Rogan weren't asking all those damn questions!"
Remember when they kicked off Infowars? I member.
I think there's a reason why Joe Rogan went with Spotify (over YouTube) a year and a half ago.
He would've been cancelled from youtube a long time ago with the guests and things he's saying on the podcast now.
IF they knew what was happening and coming (white hats) it made sense to get someone so prolific (he is THE largest podcast on the planet - besides natureshows/crime shows etc. which doesn't lend itself to any contemporary issues at all).
Nahh, they've deleted some of Rogan's content.
My money isn't supporting that anti-first Amendment company.
I can get it for free as a perk for staking 4000 CRO on crypto.com I should activate it.
I listen to Spotify all day long. If they were to cancel rogan, I’d have seriously considered canceling my subscription.
Interesting group of shareholders.
I’m not sold on Joe Rogan yet. I feel he’s a more free platform for people like Dr. Malone. Just something feels off about him for me. And now this move...Joe is getting huge. I get a worried feeling anytime someone or some company starts to dominate in certain areas, like media in this case. Maybe it’s just me. I’m paranoid like that tho.
No, it's good to be cautious.
You tend to live longer.
Lmao, I just signed up. Joe will need to let them know they're f7ck8ng up am fight it. If rheybdont fix I'll uninstall.
Somehow I think that ratings/viewers/members are only a very small portion of the calculation.
Case in point: CNN.
Toe Rogan gets paid regardless so if they cut him off he'd probably love it.
Spotify is still the enemy. Good news though, There are these devices called MP3 players. You can put your media on them and they will play music and podcasts.
Brilliant!
also, was it a 10mil contract with him?
100m for joe
People said things I don't like in a country that prides itself on having free speech!!!!
While it's technically free speech to say that too, I think it's pretty clear evidence that you don't "get" America, so, you don't GET America. Deportation time.
too bad Rogan is controlled opposition.
How?
It is a stupid comment. I used to call him the chameleon for years pre-covid. I knew he hunted and liked guns, and can kick the shit out of a bigly (almost all) portion of the population, so I knew he wasn’t a liberal pussy. But he lived in LA, and you can be infected with their softness, and he had to play nice to get certain guests, I thought.
But ever since he had Covid, the gloves have been off. Dropping red-pills on an almost show by basis. He is waking up, in real time. It’s fun to watch.
Wait until he is forced to cover the election fraud, whenever that is.
