When the deal was announced, and before the videos were pulled, I archived everything

Where can I find an archive online? I am really disappointed that Spotify is removing all these episodes, and have refused to give their podcasts any attention as a result.

>> 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.

Are you being ironic? Of course there's something to see: the latest glacial shift in the accretion of content control by tech platforms.

Do you maybe have a graph of what the overall picture of content control by a handful of companies looks like over, say, the last 50 years?

Joe is not building "art". His podcasts are ephemeral, they are for now. Creating a large back catalog is not the goal, it aint a sitcom

One year's ephemera is the rest of time's history.

The other side of the coin is that everyone is selling out. We're just returning to the patronage (clientela) model where everyone parrots the patrons for a cut of the profit, legal contract and everything - except Joe Rogan isn't at risk of dying destitute if he doesn't comply and his patrons are faceless corporations.

I wonder if/how much the move cost his listener ship. I see in the comments pleas for Joe to come back to Youtube. I dont know why this happens but Spotify does not work with UConnect on my Jeep. It plays for 1-2 seconds and then mutes. Spotify is the only music/audio platform that doesnt work with Uconnect, but that immediately removes it from being played in my car. Long car rides are where I consume podcasts, so n…

Check if your phone has a per-app setting for "optimize battery usage" or "sleep background apps" or something like that. Spotify was stopping 2 seconds after I turned my phone's screen off, and disabling the battery optimization fixed it.

This website breaks scrolling (it's jumpy). For others experiencing it: this issue (and the floating top bar) can be fixed by disabling JavaScript.

I think it's because they have anti-adblocking tech. Imagine being media in 2021 and denying access to your site based on adblocking? I instantly close the site. What are they providing that I can't get elsewhere? What are they providing beyond the headline?

I've never heard of the digitalmusicnews.com but I submitted it as the URL for this story, because all other mainstream news sources cited it as the site that first noticed and broke the news:

If there was one, Spotify would sue to have it taken down. The goal of censorship isn't to remove "offensive" content from Spotify: the goal is to remove it from existence, completely, as though it had never been.

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

The 10 mins of ads preceding every JRE episode (which is PIA to skip in 30sec increments on my apple watch) is one reason i stopped listening.

Oh and the fact that almost every guest is a comedian or MME fighter.. two categories that are barely compelling to me.

As opposed to content control by publishers, network television, the FCC, and studios?

Spotify is not above criticism, I think it is entirely legitimate and called for to criticize Spotify without overstating your case.
