Great thing about Joe Rogan, he's weeding out the idiots from Spotify.
One of the people trying to get him kicked off Spotify is implying he's racist.I don't think it should be happening, but if they continue to lose artists (CSNY is common background music in the gt12 house), I'll cancel my subscription - I'm not paying for a service that doesn't have a reasonably 'full' catalogue of music.
That's the thing.
All Rogan has to do is appease those that will stay on Spotify. It doesn't matter what he says but if it creates less $$ for Spotify then he has to go.
He's free to speak what he likes so long as it makes them money. That's the freedom he contracted himself too (most likely)
He's been outspoken about having no restrictions on his contract with spotify. He's been paid, and if they do boot him off he'll just go back to the old distribution and get the all followers he lost going to spotify back. He's basically scrooge mcDuck swimming in gold at this point, no fucks to give.
His audience is so much larger that the news networks, even most entertainment shows on normal TV, all that's happening is more people now know Rogan has a podcast and some people don't like it.
If Taylor Swift took her music off theymight have a problem, but Neil Young. Not an issue.
Totally agree!! I guess I was poor in saying that all he has to do is keep Spotify happy if he wants to stay on Spoitify

@hooroo yeah, and it's been amusing because some of the younger staff on Spotify have desperately been trying to get him off the platform and the upper levels have been ignoring them.
So far both Spotify and Rogan have been handling this well. Will see if they stick it out.
Just need the next cancelling campaign to kick off and suck out this one's oxygen. Thanks Whoopi!

Whoopi's not getting cancelled. Her wrong opinions are the right wrong opinions.

@booboo i thought she'd been stood down and copped quite a bit of backlash?
Stood down for two weeks, people have been fired for less.

@kirwan fair enough, had only seen a headline saying stood down
Had to enjoy her telling a jew that the holocaust wasn't about race. Was epic.

@kiwiwomble said in The campaign against Joe Rogan's podcast:
@kirwan i did catch a couple of snippets, i kind of think i understand what she was trying to say, but it was really poorly done
I suspect she would have reacted badly to someone saying there is no such thing as racism, just mans inhumanity to man.

This sums it up for me.

@kiwiwomble said in The campaign against Joe Rogan's podcast:
@kirwan without doubt, it was the approach that it wasn't about race, ONLY mans inhumanity etc...there was a hell of a lot of "mans inhumanity to man" AS WELL AS a hell of a lot of racism...very weird and a bit stupid all around
It's the same issue with Joe. Both people are just comedians, who gives a fuck about their opinions? I wouldn't got to either for advice anything important.
Both exist to entertain, that's it. If they have a weird opinion, who cares?

@antipodean always comes back to CRT - I didn't know Whoopi was back in school

Superb commentary about Rogan critics pearl-clutching and fainting spells by America’s other media lightning rod.
-
Good to see Jon Stewart talking about the overreaction of artists leaving Spotify. But it sounds like a bunch of Joe's content has been taken down recently. If they are adding tags etc to his existing content they could possibly be pulling it till that is done. But adding some metadata to content ain't that hard...
-
It's amazing to me that these people think censoring people like Rogan won't just push people further to the fringes. And that censoring speech can only conclude with violence if taken too far. Humans are just doomed to repeat the same dumb mistakes for eternity.
