Seems like this is just a gradual push to a complete ban in my estimation. Half measures will only annoy both pro and anti Rogan factions.

That sounds nice, but it seems optimistic to think that one can please all of the people, even once.

Andy Dick and Dave Foley episodes were removed? Skeptical about that, but if so, why?

I wonder what this means for his $100 million contract

That's what I don't get did Spotify hand Rogan a bucket of cash or is there a contract with clauses that can end the contract. That would seem to be obvious and the point of a contract.

It would be nice to know how much Rogan is costing Spotify versus what he makes for them. At some point there will be a change in which way the cash flows and suddenly the show will be a problem for Spotify.

I think you got a key word wrong.

Remember all those times you have seen gaslighting ideologues saying "nobody is actually calling for [canceling/deleting/censorship]", remember how they couch any argument with "private company can do what it wants". I don't care about Joe Rogan in particular, but you're deluding yourself if you think there isn't some relevance here.

A lot of people now suddenly hate Joe, the same way they hate Jordan Peterson, the same way they hated Trump. Every comment will have a preface or disclaimer: "I'm not a fan" in so many words. I did it above.

In a short time that will turn from "I don't support him but..." into something akin to "I see you referenced him, therefore I disregard anything else said"
