8m not sure how his podcasts were distributed previously, but I would have thought a more multiplatform approach would work better long term. A lot of people don't have Spotify, I'm one of those, for the same price as Spotify I can get YouTube premium for me and the extended family, kill all ads, allow downloads and access to a decent music streaming catalog. Last time I checked the prices were not to dissimilar.
- laurent92 5y agoI think he was promised $100m for the Spotify exclusivity. No multiplatform works better than $100m ;)
- criddell 5y agoIt has also been argued Joe sold out at way too low of a price. https://www.supercast.com/blog/joe-rogan-got-ripped-off https://www.supercast.com/blog/joe-rogan-got-ripped-off
- therealdrag0 5y agoI would guess 5% conversion is pretty generous and unsupported.
- meowface 5y agoApparently it was a bigger number than that, though the exact number isn't known.
- ProAm 5y agoI think it was more than 100MM, he was making ~30MM per year on his own, and he signed a 3 year deal with Spotify. Im not sure why you'd sell for the exact amount you'd make if you just kept doing what you are doing with the exception of having to handle all advertising yourself and possible delisting/banning from YouTube.
- MeinBlutIstBlau 5y agoIt did. Joe even said he didn't care about itunes ratings back in the day. He just wanted people to listen to it in anyway they liked.
