What’s the Joe Rogan thing?

[_33]

I see lots of people mad at him but no one ever says why. Is it COVID stuff?

[steve dave]

Yeah, he spreads a lot of false information about vaccine safety and effectiveness. Given his massive following of mostly morons I imagine he’s responsible for killing quite a few idiots. Freedom ain’t free.

Looks like you can count Mr Dave amongst those mad at Joe

[OK_Cat]

Is that the guy who hosted the tv show like 20 years ago where they did gross stuff? I’m impressed he has a career still.

I'm not mad at him at all. there are too many morons on this planet to get mad at all of them. I WILL, however, be mad if any actual good musicians get mad at him and it starts worsening my spotify experience. neil young, thankfully, sucks bigtime.

Big mad

Hey man, keep on rockin' in the free world, says this dispassionate commentator. How's the hangover?

fun fact, I don't really get hangovers. I used to, but I think it was more due to the heaters I'd mow through while drinking. I think my body gave up on trying to make me regret drinking.

I don't get hangovers either. Also, never get sick. I think it's my superior Nordic genes.

also spotify absolutely needs to hold their ground on this. you can't cowtow to every hippy who throws a fit about morons talking to other morons.

I believe I have a post on this very blogsite saying "free market" but also predicting Neil would absolutely lose this gambit.

Foo Fighters pullling their music from Spotify too.

This is trending in the direction where they are going to have to say or do something. They need the rich musicians more than the rich musicians need them. If these artists keep pulling out it's going to become a real problem.

But what about Rogan's First Amendment rights, huh? (Still think they'll choose Rogan)

He has something like 13 million listeners. Seems like a lot.

[wetwillie]

I honestly think Joe may be attempting to get out of his contract.

[Trim]

I didn’t know that this thing or really any podcast could only be listened to through spotify.

He has the #1 podcast but most Spotify listeners aren't there for that podcast, it's a relatively minute part of their business.

I refuse to use Apple Music. It is a diarrhea user experience. Figure it out Spotify you assholes.

Steve dave, yes!

Man, I am very out of touch with what the kids are listening to these days. No idea who Bad Bunny or J Balvin are.

[catastrophe]

I think it’s less an issue of people hating Rogan and more people hating people who rely on Rogan for information.

I’ve been a fan of Rogan since News Radio, even though I think on balance he is a pretty big time moron.

[wetwillie]

I can assure you no one relies on Rogan for anything other than entertainment value.  He lets Alex Jones on to get high and talk about aliens. I’ll never understand people who want to censor other people for their content.

[Cire]

I imagine the free market is on joe rogans side
