I meant "hasn't happened" in that it hasn't happened on Spotify. I have no doubt that demonetization has happened on YouTube. >JRE is the #1 podcast due to it format and content. Joe listens and let's guests talk. It's about them and not him. He learns too, he isn't talking about Ivermectin and Argentina since one of his guests informed him that study was shown to have flaws. I'm not here to debate the finer points or merits of his podcast. It's not my cup of tea, but I respect the fact that many people enjoy his podcast greatly. I have no comment on the content because it's not super relevant to my views on this topic. All that matters is the fact that he is being "censored" (and I mean this in the social cooling respect) on YouTube, and not on Spotify. I refer to him as the "creator" because ultimately, he decides if it streams on YouTube or Spotify or some other unnamed service. In that respect, Joe Rogan has the same relationship to a platform as any other classic content creator. The format or content of his podcast doesn't change that. My point was that Spotify isn't "censoring" his podcast because if he was streaming on some other service, he'd get just as many viewers. This is because Spotify isn't the dominant podcasting platform like YouTube is for online video. It's possible that Spotify would choose to "censor" his podcast in a similar way if they were dominant in the podcast space.
