Re: Spotify continues to remove Joe Rogan episodes
#12I wonder how much longer Spotify will continue to delude themselves that they can take successful podcasts and put them into their walled garden -- turning off legit, public RSS feeds -- and that it will somehow work out for them. Rumor is that Apple is going to launch premium podcasts and turn off access to the iTunes podcast directory in order to have their own walled garden for select, paid podcasters. Eventually…
Why do you think so? Almost all TV shows are exclusive to their platforms, and they're doing fine. What makes audio different?
TV didn't start out as an open standard using RSS.

#13>> Rogan, on the other hand, has confirmed that Spotify removed certain shows as a condition of their $100 million agreement with him. “There were a few episodes they didn’t want on their platform, and I was like ‘okay, I don’t care’,” Rogan shared in a recent interview with guest Fahim Anwar.
It's part of their deal. Nothing to see here.

#15Well that’s silly. Spotify knew exactly what they bought.
And Rogan knew exactly who he was signing with (a risk-averse media company). Two parties voluntarily decided to do business according to some mutually agreeable terms. None of this should be surprising or outrageous to anyone...but, here we are.

Also true.
It’s a source of outrage that keeps on giving.
Though I wish that more people were outraged at the fact that video podcasts are not done well in Spotify. Now that’s the real problem.

in the end, everyone sells out for money...

#19One day I will also buy something for 100M just to slowly nullify its value

Hosting audio is a multiple orders of magnitude easier then video, which means platforms don't have as much value to add.
