It would only take 34 more artists to have the same demand to make dropping Rogan worth it, which seems doable. I'm glad someone got the ball rolling; Hopefully others take it to the finish line.
- no_butterscotch 5y agoI'll immediately leave Spotify too as a user if Spotify bends to the will of Neil Young (and I'm a NY fan as well). I imagine there's more listeners like me, and I assume there's no listeners out there that will suddenly start listening to Spotify if they aren't already.
- zaphod12 5y agoDepends on the artist...T. Swift vs. Rogan would be a pretty close thing.

- s1artibartfast 5y agoMaybe not. I can't imagine Spotify wanting to set any precedent in this area. Who's to say it would stop with JRE and not end with all of their content creators fighting to platform each other. There is a lot of potential for objections across a broad swath of art.
- willcipriano 5y agoRogan listeners listen for hours on end, how long to Neil Young listeners listen for? You can't compare them 1 to 1. Rogan is better for metrics.
- spiderice 5y agoDoesn't work like this. Rogan pulls in people for Podcasts. Otherwise even Spotify users are going to go elsewhere for their podcasts (PocketCast, OverCast, Apple, etc..). 34 artists likely aren't going to be deal breakers for most of the customers. Most will just not listen to those 34 artists rather than leave Spotify.
