Kind fucking strange people go after Joe Rogan when there are artists like R Kelly on Spotify. You'd think that would be slightly worse?

This whole thing feels like a joke to be honest. Just the latest outrage train.

Spotify doesn't have a 9 figure deal with R Kelly; he makes a fraction of a cent per play. And it wasn't his music that was the problem, whereas with Rogan it's content that is (or was) on Spotify's platform.

Because Congress won't do anything about any of that shit, but Spotify might be modestly more responsive.

Also, this discourse starts primarily from Neil Young, whose leverage happened to be specifically over Spotify. He can't do much of anything to impact lawmakers on those issues.

The issue is Spotify pays joe Rogan $100 million per year to post his content exclusively on spotify

everyone else is getting paid on a per-listen basisyou choose not to listen, youre not giving them money; Joe Rogan is directly funded by your Spotify subscription no matter what

Yes, it is your right to subscribe or not subscribe to entertainment services. You know your rights.

But really, what the fuck do you care how much money he makes?

The issue is that people do listen and come away with bullshit ideas about the efficacy of vaccines. Me listening or not listening doesn't change Rogan having a massive audience (including my former boss!) and no small amount of influence on them.

Spotify, in giving Rogan large sums of money, contributes to that.

This person just stated they have a right to not listen and not subscribe. What about people who want to listen and/or subscribe?

It started with COVID. Then they dug up his racist shit once Spotify started showing signs of reaction.

I mean yes he brings guests on his show that don't agree with him & correct him but in general as a person on his own merits he's terrible.

It's not really about the money, except to the extent that it reflects that Spotify's relationship with Rogan is not comparable with their relationship to other artists on their platform. It was brought up in response to the disingenuous point about R Kelly.
