I thought this at first, but now think the opposite is true. His viewpoints were more diluted previously. A smaller base is of regular listeners paradoxically makes his messages stronger.

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.

Im sure the money was more than enough for him to feel compensated

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...

Would you fell into a trap like this for 100.000.000$?

Inasmuch as his message doesn't offend Spotify, their key strategic partners, or their financial service providers -- sure, I'll buy that.

It is hard to make an argument against YT having the highest reach among vloging platforms. However, repeated guests not gaining as many Twitter followers as they did after first visit might be an indication of diminishing returns

I don't blaming him for taking the money from Spotify. He has ensured his descendants' wealth for probably a few generations. Good for him.

I still see clips of him on YouTube. How does that work given his deal with Spotify, anyone know?
