I think Joe Rogan is an idiot. But, if anything, Spotify should have just posted a disclaimer somewhere stating these aren’t their views, with some links to reputable sources - even their own “Science Vs” podcast.

It’s not like now the people who believed what he was saying are going to shrug their shoulders and start reading the “New England Journal of Medicine”.

Blockchain fixes this. But on a serious note, podcasting was originally just mp3 files freely distributed to be played on ipods. It's anathema to ever have a centralized platform like Spotify hoarding exclusive rights and control.

This is more the domain of tech like IPFS and BitTorrent than blockchains.

If Spotify is trying to effect or create the appearance of a willingness to reach a compromise in response to the recent singer pressure campaign, then it is doing nothing other than signal weakness.

Blockchain et al allow the government complete visibility into any transaction. It provides a tool for complete gov control.

Visibility is not the issue. Lack of distribution is.

How does a decentralized registry mean complete government control?
