And if you subscribe to Spotify but don't listen to Rogan, Rogan also gets none of that. If you believe otherwise, please explain how.

Rogan's not being paid per stream like song artists are. If I pay for Spotify, my $10/month revenue goes to pay their expenses. One of those expenses is Rogan's $100M contract. The mere act of shopping at the grocery store doesn't send money to Coca-Cola. I have to specifically buy one of their products.

See how easy it is to make it seem like you contribute to something if you join all capital flows into one big pool? You have to explain how Rogan would get more money if you subscribe to Spotify, than if you didn't subscribe.
