Erm... Joe knows what he is making without Spotify and it isn’t enough to make the deal seem as obviously-bad as the article makes it out to be. Also, I doubt Joe negotiated a $100 million deal without expensive legal & financial advice. If anything, the deal’s closure is evidence that the article’s assumptions are wrong.

Whenever I see an article like this I always assume it ends with "...and that's why should have gone with me, instead. My services are very affordable and available for purchase now!"

And this one does! It ends with an ad for their company/product, which is a podcast monetization platform.

In September, I wrote a post about how Howard Stern is getting ripped off by Sirius. I made the case that Howard Stern is making $90 million a year when he could be making 2-3x by cutting out the middle-man and doing a subscription podcast. Sure, until subscription fatigue kicks in. People pay for Spotify or SiriousXM because of the overall value. I doubt many people would be interested in paying just for Stern or Ro…

This is where cable companies really screwed up. They could have offered consumers a choice of channels instead of packages. It would have required changing their business model but most cable companies are local monopolies so they should be able to declare new economics. With their position as ISPs for many they were well positioned to offer streaming services first. These could have subscriptions by show instead of…

Unbundling rarely works in practice.

I'm lost at the units. Could someone tell me how much is $100-$200mm ? (dollaromillimeters?)

Edit: Found on Quora what MM means:

>Lowercase "mm" does mean millimeters, but uppercase "MM" is used for millions. "Mille" is Latin for "thousand". MM is Mille Mille.

I have never been in an accident where I was helped by wearing a seatbelt, and preparations for Y2K cost many times more than any of the harm that was caused by Y2K bugs. Considering that I've never experienced malnutrition, I seem to waste a lot of time money and effort on nutrition, too. Ignoring mental health consequences of difficult times is foolish, but this sounds much more like it was a "well, actually" sort…

The argument isn't that that point of view is correct. The argument is that it should be allowed to be presented.

The problem is that Google is exposed to political, financial, and legislative risks from all sides -- or else Google would host all content, including pirated movies, and they'd pass off all liability to the primary offender.

Then they'd collect advertising revenue based on all the eyeballs they can get.

You realize he doesn't have people on to grill them right? He has done well over a thousand shows with hundreds of different people. When you say 'most of his guests' are you talking about John Carmack, Tony Hawk and Rhonda Patrick or are you talking about the one time he had the guy who started the 'proud boys' on? I think a lot of people take this all or nothing stance on one bad guest out of recreational outrage w…

Imagine believing that McInnes is the only low grade idiot to appear on that show.

You didn't confront what I said in any way.

I can't help it that you tried to build a strawman to avoid what I said.

I think that one thing this analysis is missing is why F1 drivers go to Ferrari. F1 drivers don't drive for Ferrari because they pay the best. They drive for Ferrari because of the dream. On Youtube Joe Rogan is just some guy. Spotify is offering Joe Rogan more than that. Personally, I think the real point in this analysis is that 90% of people just aren't going to sollow him to spotify. Which is fine for spotify, th…

I'm a soon to be Google Play Music refugee (after they close up shop) and enjoy Rogan... I guess it was good timing

How weed is harmless and has no risks, and is actually helpful and could cure all sorts of ailments in people. Or how taking psychedelic drugs and using sensory deprivation tanks is great and you should totally try it out, no risks there.

You didn't name anyone or say anything of substance, you were just vague and dismissive without specifics.
