The 10 mins of ads preceding every JRE episode (which is PIA to skip in 30sec increments on my apple watch) is one reason i stopped listening. Oh and the fact that almost every guest is a comedian or MME fighter.. two categories that are barely compelling to me.

  > almost every guest is a comedian or MME fighter. I always skip both, yet sure spent many many hours watching JRE. Top viewed videos guests are (just pulled it right now from PowerJRE channel, in order of view count) https://www.youtube.com/c/joerogan/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow=grid https://www.youtube.com/c/joerogan/videos?view=0&sort=p&flow... * Elon Musk * Alex Jones * Edward Snowden * Ben Shapiro * Neil deGrasse Tyson * Michael Osterholm (Biden's top COVID advisor a year before he got that position) * Bernie Sanders * Kanye West * Robert Downey Jr. * Dr Phill And the list goes on. All comedians and MMA fighters are at the bottom of the view count, easy to skip if you just sort the views.

  Rogan hosted Eric Weinstein(highly recommend super personal interview), Brian Green, and Dan Crenshaw this week alone.

By the time you're in a position to buy 100M of anything, the way you extract and calculate value fundamentally changes. Spotify is a public company with a market cap of ~$50 billion so even a 1% movement in stock price can mean hundreds of millions of dollars of extra capital through stock sales or credit lines and easier recruiting. It can mean meeting contractual obligations on existing credit lines or stock heavy acquisitions that make or break other, more important deals. It can mean that one big media story they need every quarter to maintain brand awareness and maintain an intangible mote or keeping a well respected exec around longer by scratching their ego, delaying the possible depression in the stock price when they leave. Hell, their original content department might be really good at their job and so they had to fill a 100M hole in their budget so their budget grows instead of shrinks the year after. Usually though, it means empire building and millions in bonuses for executives who won't be held accountable for the long term effects of the move.

  Maybe, but the whole thing can be derailed by a well timed Twitter storm
