I wonder if/how much the move cost his listener ship. I see in the comments pleas for Joe to come back to Youtube. I dont know why this happens but Spotify does not work with UConnect on my Jeep. It plays for 1-2 seconds and then mutes. Spotify is the only music/audio platform that doesnt work with Uconnect, but that immediately removes it from being played in my car. Long car rides are where I consume podcasts, so no Joe Rogan.

Check if your phone has a per-app setting for "optimize battery usage" or "sleep background apps" or something like that. Spotify was stopping 2 seconds after I turned my phone's screen off, and disabling the battery optimization fixed it.

  Thanks nitrogen- Unfortunately it has been a consistent thing across phones with the common link being my 1 year before apple car play UConnect receiver. Pretty sure that is the culprit. It will works with an iPhone cable connected(but I hate cables in my car), but bluetooth audio does not(spotify only) I dont see any preference for battery usage for spotify and I have background app refresh enabled.

I don't listen to Rogan anymore but I'm knee deep into MMA and I constantly see complaints about spotify by other people in my young male demo. Even people who have a spotify sub hate it because their video player is terrible compared to yt. Then there's tons of people who don't have spotify so they mostly stopped besides clips that get posted to yt. Could be just a thing of a mad vocal minority, but every time his mma interviews pop up it's filled with massively upvoted comments complaining about spotify.

Anecdotal, but post-Spotify, I have probably watched less than 10% as much as I used to--paying Spotify customer as well. The Spotify video/podcast UX is awful.

  I was a big consumer of JRE on youtube. I enjoyed the content and the comments. I haven't watched a single episode on Spotify and I have a paid family plan.

I used to listen to maybe 20% of his podcasts before Spotify. After I listen to 1%. It’s a combination of the Spotify app being really bad and being different than all my other podcasts. I browse new episodes from all my subs through my regular player and rarely open a separate app just to see what’s new with JRE. I hope he doesn’t renew the Spotify deal.

I used to listen alot more before the Spotify deal. The podcast listening experience in the app is hot garbage. I am a paying premium paying customer. Why do I get ads in the beginning and middle of the podcast? And there was a bug where to if you skip too fast, it jumps back to replaying the ads again. Super frustrating. I don't ever watch the podcast video stream but the few times I did, it was super buggy, sometimes jumping forward/backward in time or simply not responding to input. Luckily a random redditor posted a URL where you can listen to podcast using traditional RSS [1][2].
