#2That sounds like he won't be on YouTube anymore. Shame. I don't really like using Spotify.

#4I probably will never watch it now since I don’t have a Spotify subscription and don’t need one. Is Spotify free for Podcasts?

#5This might be Europe’s answer to YouTube.

#6Too bad, I occasionally enjoy his show, depending on the guest.
I don’t use Spotify and I won’t bother with an account just for Joe. I hope he is getting good revenue from Spotify to make up for loss of listeners. I discovered him from Apple’s podcast app.

He said in the announcement his podcast is remaining free. I don't know if you have to register with Spotify to listen, but I would think you would.

#8Ben Thompson & James Allworth had a nice discussion recently on the podcasting space and how Spotify is posed to close over this space.

Disregarding over all the negatives of centralizing podcast discovery in one place, I would love to pay one fee and get 0 ads on all the episodes. Where the money is then distributed to the podcast hosts I listen to the most (like Spotify does already with music).
It's so bizzare to me how ads are still a thing. I never ever bought anything from an ad (my mind subconsciously ignores everything I hear in an ad & often paints the product in the ad in a negative light). And I lose quite a chunk of my time speeding over (the same ads) in the episodes I listen too.

#9This makes me incredibly sad: not that we are losing Rogan's show, but that Adtech is finally absorbing the last type of media that was truly Free.

#10Joe initially said he didn't want to go to Spotify because they don't pay creators.
I guess a few million made that thought go away.
