I thought this at first, but now think the opposite is true. His viewpoints were more diluted previously. A smaller base is of regular listeners paradoxically makes his messages stronger.

- bitwize 5y agoInasmuch as his message doesn't offend Spotify, their key strategic partners, or their financial service providers -- sure, I'll buy that.
- newbamboo 5y agoCensorship is worse on YouTube. Think of how many affiliates YouTube/google/nbc has. I’d say more than Spotify. There’s a reason AM radio has more “extreme” content than FM radio. A wider audience means more people to appease; have to cater to the common denominator.

AM stations tend to have larger ranges (FM is limited by line-of-sight). There tends to be more talk on AM because the audio quality is lower (and more susceptible to interference); I would assume that talk radio (where opinions are actually being discussed) would naturally have more "extreme" content than music, where the opinions are diluted by the presence of other content.
