At first I thought he would be ok. His original gripe with Youtube was the censorship of controversial guests. Either he or Spotify prevented most of the controversial videos from being imported into Spotify so I guess the problem remains. Is there a platform that allows any/all controversial guests?
Just like Howard Stern (note, SiriusXM also owns Spotify). They traded a broader audience and greater influence for stability and gigantic paychecks. E.g., in Howard's case, even though his personal influence shrunk, his importance to Sirius/Spotify grew as a fraction of the subscriber base is dedicated to one talent and would otherwise unsubscribe. Howard's deal has been renewed a number of times now. I can't blame…
This seemed like the obvious trap he was going to fall into. I used to listen to him when he interviewed someone I was interested in. I even installed Spotify so I can access his podcast. In practice, because I don’t use Spotify for anything else, I have simply forgotten about him.
Echochamber effect here I presume. Joe Rogan is doing just fine on Spotify. He can choose not to extend at the end of his contract, go back to YouTube and continue just where he left off.
>Joe Rogan is doing just fine on Spotify. This article produced data to back up their assertion, I would be curious to see the data you're looking at that helps you make yours.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

That implies constant growth is the only measurable metric. Probably it is for Spotify, maybe for Rogan, but it doesn't have to be.
I'm paying Spotify Premium and still have to listen ads during the show. Spotify also sends video even though I just need the audio. It's a waste of valuable bandwidth and CPU. If there would an alternative I would take it. Anyway I have definitely listened JRE way less lately...
I stopped watching purely due to the Spotify deal. I was willing to give it a try until I saw that they were memoryholing episodes. I might be in the minority here but it felt like a betrayal. If he wanted more money he could’ve invested in his own platform like many others and people would’ve followed. There’s plenty of other content in the sea.
