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.
a) I think you are overestimating the intelligence of an absolute huge percentage of his listerers/our population.
b) nobody is censor'ing anyone. and if spotify decides to cut him or do anything else they won't be either. they will be making a business decision which this absolute trash stock price demands they make. and he is free to still talk moron talk to other morons anywhere else this giant capitalist planet will allow.
The musicians are absolutely trying to censor him by leveraging their economics. It looks like they probably won’t be successful, which ironically is what I think Joe wants to happen. He has basically abandoned what made him popular and has leaned into the covid stuff which has predictably landed him in the crosshairs.
First of all, are you crazy? Lots of people not only take Joe Rogan for gospel, but they are the most likely to rub him in someone else's face like he's the final word on everything he says.
Secondly, what the musicians are doing isn't censorship they're trying to deplatform him and there's a difference. If he were on his own network they'd treat him like Alex Jones and that's ignore the eff out of him. They don't want to share a platform with him and that's their right. If I knew someone I despised, like that racist I have purple wood, sat in the same restaurant as me, I'd ask someone to make him leave. If they did, awesome, if they didn't I'd have to, because I wouldn't want to look at his hood or smell the sulfur coming off of his body. My hope is that they would say, sorry Mr Rain, don't leave we'll get him to go, but they very well may not then I'd have to go somewhere else for my tomahawk steak.
