  > People celebrating Spotify don’t realise that they’ve selectively gone through Rogans more spicy episodes historically and removed on edited them. Wouldn't it be interesting if someone compared the current cuts with past cuts to see what they wanted/needed to remove.

    Someone could make a negative-joe-rogan podcast which is just the edited out bits. Audio equivalent of selling donut holes.

      Run it through speech-to-text, and then it's just `diff` or `comm -13` with a bit of cleanup!

  Wasn’t this in the end proven to be a rogue employee? I mean they would say that, ofc, but seems like really that was the case?

  Some of the prohibited episodes were obvious candidates for suppression like Alex Jones but I remember seeing the list and finding a few real headscratchers. Going to guess there were some specific comments in those episodes that an employee didn't like rather than a general opposition to the guest overall. It's unfortunate that Spotify wasn't more transparent about their review process but tech companies seem to be really fond of the notion that rules cannot be made clear because then people the hate might follow them, denying the opportunity to silence them.
