I subscribe to Spotify but I dropped Rogan when he left. I have all my other podcasts in one app, listening history and all. Now I have to drop that because Spotify want to play monopoly? S** that.

Which app has full listening history? I’ve been looking for that.

What's "naïve" is you or anyone else thinking they have the power to "nudge people into better patterns", which is exactly what the kind of behavior you're promoting attempts to accomplish. You can't, and you never will. Culture evolves slowly, and humans even slower.

There is ample evidence since at least World War I, that both 'positive' PSA type information and 'negative' propaganda/counter information/psy ops absolutely have an effect.

They think he cares more about his reach then is dollars

In the podcasting world, reach == dollars. With a declining audience, his show will generate declining revenue for Spotify, and eventually he will receive less money because of it.

Yeah I'm sure he and howard stern both really regret limiting their audience. He didn't sell out in the traditional sense (product placements, no-go topics, etc)

He left a void which is now being filled by Lex Friedman and others. Rogan doesn't even bother placing something about the podcast in title - he just names the guest which doesn't say anything to me so I dropped his show long time ago. Even went that far and send him an email regarding how frustrating it is to just listen to show after show until you find a subject that you like. What he lost with YouTube is their al…

I used to google "reddit best Joe rogan episodes" to figure out what to listen to, but it's mostly MMA fighters and comedians. I hate wasting 30m of my time fast forwarding through ads and drawn out banter to find that the two people on the show are halfwits that I don't want to hear for another 2 hours.
