He's not just a dumbass with an audience. He is intentionally selling misinformation because he knows he can hook a crowd and make money off it. He also knows his misinformation is dangerous and getting people killed. He doesn't care because he doesn't have to, and that's what needs to be fixed, and not just for him.
Why do you think hes evil instead of simply wrong? Ive never listened to the guy myself, 4 hour long podcasts are not my thing, but the impression Ive gotten from other folks is that, at least regarding the pandemic stuff, hes sincere but misguided.

It's a hard question to ask. I would think someone like U2 or Iron Maiden would force Rogan off of Spotify easily. The lowest I would go would maybe be.... Miley Cyrus or Lorde.

Eminem. He has a lot of albums. He's the best rapper ever. Don't even try to contest this. He already has a political voice and I think if he came out and dissed Joe Rogan and left Spotify he could actually get people to move.

Except as an artist that owns their own music they can absolutely demand their content be pulled from the platform for any reason they want.

If people don't like Joe Rogan then fucking don't listen to him. Just let others who do enjoy him keep on listening to him.

Not that hard of a concept, tbh.

It's the opposite. He made one album and they said make another just like this and he made something totally different. Then they were like "no you asshole we want it to sound just like the first one" and he made something completely different from the first two. Then they fired him and he went elsewhere and made another album that sounded just like his first one and they sued him for copying himself.

He absolutely can say Its my content or his.

If he owns his music he can demand that they remove his music from their service for any reason he pleases including them continuing to give Rogan a platform.

I feel like it's the principle of the thing. Trying to get somebody else deplatformed by using threats is just doomed to fail. Spotify has thousands of artists. A few complainers shouldn't be able to Survivor-vote other people off the platform.

If he and other artists want to throw a fit and stomp off, then that's their prerogative.

It'd need to be several big ones banding together so that it actually starts negatively impacting them.

As long as Rogan brings in more then they simply don't give a single fuck and are happy for him to push his idiocy to millions.

They cant though. All they can do is demand their music be removed. At the end of the day its up to Spotify.

If all the big artists decide to boycott Spotify thats their right.

If Spotify CHOOSES to cave because they start losing money thats on them. Its all choices.

Pretty sure thats like how this whole free market capitalism thing works

Spotify might have thousands of artists, but they're held up by a disproportionately small number of them. The whole platform is shady as hell, regardless of Rogan's involvement. This video does a pretty good job summarizing it

https://youtu.be/whQ8UBoz-To

It really wouldn't take that many big names pulling their content for Spotify to cave. A few established older artists and one currently hot artist would be enough

ngl, as soon as this news story popped up a few days ago, my first thought was 'someone is going to think it's the height of wit to quote 'Sweet Home Alabama' in response to this.'

I would've initially written it off as a Boomer move, but Boomers don't actually listen to the lyrics. Funnily enough, just the other day their song 'Gimme 3 Steps' came up in conversation with my parents, and I had to explain the lyrics to them - they had no idea it was about the singer being scared shitless over getting caught with a married woman by her husband.

Rogan will still get paid large amounts of money from Spotify and then just go host his podcast on his own website and continue having the most popular podcast in the world.

How many people were ever actually on the fence and shied away from vaccines because of Rogan? Seems more like people who were already anti-vax just gravitated towards him. Him saying he thinks vaccines aren't necessary for young, healthy people is certainly irresponsible.. But I highly doubt someone was gearing up to go get vaccinated and then opted against it because Joe Rogan doesn't think it's necessary.

So you don't understand why his pod is so popular? It's because he lets everyone talk, not just the "apporoved" people with the "correct" opinions.

No, it's because people want to hear ALL opinions. Even stupid ones, like Alex Jones. People don't want to live in a dictatorship where an elite is deciding what you're allowed to listen to and not.
