Re: Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence

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.

memoryholing episodes == ?

Spotify didn't bring over the old episodes with people like Alex Jones, Gavin McInnes, and Milo Yiannopoulos.

> “There were a few episodes they didn’t want on their platform,” Rogan said, per DMN. “And I was like, ‘OK, I don’t care.'” https://www.thewrap.com/spotify-deletes-joe-rogan-podcast-ep...

What does memoryholing mean?

Removing certain old episodes from the catalogue (as if they never existed, so they become forgotten)

Memory hole is from 1984. It is where they put papers to be incinerated and forgotten. Spotify removed a few Joe Rogan episodes IIRC.

I'm guessing this:

> A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a website or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.

I believe GP is refering to the fact that Spotify has removed episodes from Joe Rogan's back catalog that have been deemed controversial [0].
