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...

Kinda curious, do fans .. .care about that? I guess some do but I don't think I ever listen to past podcasts that I've already listened to...

If you're recommending someone should listen to a previous episode you might be interested that it is avaialable or not.

The only Joe Rogan episodes worth watching are the Tim Dillon ones. If you know, you know. Otherwise, I stopped watching when he moved to Spotify. It's just a terrible platform all-around. He destroyed his brand for $150M.

Life in the big city.

What does memoryholing mean?

Some episodes are no longer available, as if Spotify wants everyone to forget that they even exist. Episodes featuring Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones etc. In other words, guests that offend the progressive attitudes of Silicon Valley

Milo Yiannopoulos is a self-proclaimed white supremacist, that offends more than "the progressive attitudes of Silicon Valley," it offends everyone that's not a white supremacist.

Alex Jones testified to being a performance artist and hosts a talk show purely to hawk merchandise. Does that really fit the mold of a thought-provoking podcast like Rogan's?

To be fair... his move to Spotify coincided with him spewing more and more anti-vax and anti-mask drivel that I don't have any interest in listening to.

All of us are right and wrong to varying degrees. I don't think Joe Rogan cares much for people that stop listening because he doesn't reinforce their politics. He never has. He's also spoken about the whole point of him having FU money is that he is able to say whatever he wants and not care about the blowback. I'm not anti-vax, but ultimately, my body, my choice. People who are risk averse are free to self-quaranti…

Why aren't you vaccinated?

I don't think that's accurate. Do you have some links or anything to back that up? Like actual transcripts, not some media interpretation. "People say, do you think it's safe to get vaccinated? I've said, yeah, I think for the most part it's safe to get vaccinated. I do. I do," Rogan said on the podcast. "But if you're like 21 years old, and you say to me, should I get vaccinated? I'll go no. Are you healthy? Are you…

Yeah, it is! People thinking they don't need the vaccine are contracting COVID and acting like human petri dishes for new variants to arise from. It's also ignoring the reality of COVID aftereffects (like parosmia) that affect young people who recover too.

> should I get vaccinated? I'll go no. Yes that's anti-vax. We get vaccinated not just to protect ourselves from death, but also to protect those around us by reducing the transmission of disease.

False. The vaccinated can and do transmit the disease. Vaccination only protects you. It doesn’t protect others around you.

I wonder if Rogan would 'not lose influence' had he changed nothing. Feels like these kind of personalities, while they can have long careers, growth / reach isn't infinite or sustainable.

I listened to Joe a lot when I was doing manual labor in 2013-2014ish. Like almost every single episode. I was always able to intake the things I thought were interesting and laugh off stuff I thought was dumb or unconvincing, but I do remember thinking that one day the greater internet will realize that his podcast is littered with content that people could easily misconstrue and start a real uproar about with suffi…

I've thought about the balance between "I don't know and I'm going to think out loud here." and doing that as entertainment and ... where that leads to some responsibility for saying some stuff that you really don't know that is dead wrong and ...

I duno. It's a weird world.

> To do this, we pulled data from the analytics tool Social Blade to track the Twitter following of every guest who went on Rogan’s podcast between December 2019 and July 2021. Guests generally see a surge of new followers after appearing on the show, with some gaining as many as 18,000 new followers in the week following their chat, and that effect has grown over time as The Joe Rogan Experience gained popularity.

on top of that they highlight repeat guests which makes no sense. and the fact that they highlight them specifically is very fishy.
