Re: Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes
#222Where can I find a backup so I can archive them and upload them to bittorrent?
There are torrents for most episodes in 4 parts ("JRE_001-837", "JRE_838-1094", "JRE_1095-1250", "JRE_1251-1476"). But some episodes are missing, especially pre-YouTube episodes.
I collected all the banned ones in audio form, but many sites don't allow you to create a torrent as a new user, so I gave up.

#223Earlier quoted context omitted.
I switched from Spotify to Apple Music fairly recently and I am still shocked on the daily how poorly built Apple Music is. In the several years I subscribed to Spotify I never had issues of content not loading or choppiness in the playback, but with Apple Music it is nearly every day. The only thing Apple Music has going for it over Spotify (in my opinion) is that the recommendations are easily 10x better for discov…
> The only thing Apple Music has going for it over Spotify (in my opinion) is that the recommendations are easily 10x better for discovering new content. Thank you! I spent the last few years working on improving the quality of those recommendations!
Your post surprised me: I can't think of any other Apple employees publically talking about their work, other than the early years of the WebKit team.

#224This is bigger than Spotify.
Rogan was a proactive person conducting open research into the world around him. When proactive people investigate things and share their findings, it now only takes a few to dislike the findings, fuss, and have the findings removed.
To those that support this, I have 4 questions:
1. Is disincentivising sharing knowledge really good for the world?
2. Is it reasonable to expect 100% of inquiries be 100% accurate on the very first attempt?
3. Is it efficient for society to repeat the same research many times since previous investigations are scrubbed from public record?
4. Is it healthy for public discourse to be made less diverse and only concern 'safe' topics?

#225One of the ironic things here is that it’s pitted Spotify’s brand as a music company against their brand as a podcast company. For people originally drawn to Spotify as a music service the departure of even a few icons all of a sudden makes Apple Music very attractive.

I'm in the same boat, but one extra thing I found that Apple Music does better is sound quality. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but even I noticed immediately that music sounded _much_ better, like, very noticeably.
But yeah, aside from that, it's kind of a miserable experience. Hard to believe it's _still_ so bad.

#226I think this will lead to outcome that few people cheering for this are anticipating. Musk, Thiel etc. will back an alternative platform that will host JRE, Lex, Jordan Peterson etc. and in the long term it will win due to being less restrictive. Which in the long term is prob a positive thing.
I want to see Elon Musk put his $$$ toward alternative solutions. He's the richest guy in the world. Come on Elon!

#227This is idiotic. I really respected Spotify for their position in the face of 'controversy.' I'm not a JRE listener, but believe in free speech. What Spotify is doing now just pisses off both sides. Pro speech people don't like this, JRE listeners don't like this, and anti Rogan people won't stop until he's 'canceled' completely.
This has nothing to do with free speech. Spotify is not being compelled by any authority to remove or keep content on their platform. The only reason why Spotify hosts or removes content is because it's what they decide is best given market pressures.
Free speech is a principle that is not exclusive to the Constitution. Something can be anti-free speech and not involve the government.

#228I had faith in Spotify would do the right thing. Now, they succumbed to the cancel culture. What's a disgusting world we're living in.

#230I'm growing really tired of this "sanitization" of society, and what views you are/aren't allowed to hold anymore. Love or hate JRE's content, I don't think anything good comes from silencing people
He took a $100m to deal to publish original content on Spotify. Spotify is no longer just a library, it’s a publisher with editorial responsibilities.
