That must suck hard for Joe Rogan. He moved his show to their platform and now is getting massively moderated/censored. It's very interesting to see. In America, I always felt like people were very extreme with their freedom of expression, so much that you have so many abuses like the tea party and others that wouldn't exist in other countries that penalize forbidden speech (like denying the holocaust, being racist, etc.), limit politician air time, etc. So I'm guessing, like a lot of things in the US, private companies are now deciding to figure that part out.
- TOMDM 5y agoYeah I'm sure the dude is having a real hard time with the contract he's already been paid $100m for is slowly collapsing
- afavour 5y agoI think he can probably wipe his tears with some of the $100 bills Spotify gave him. But seriously, though. He surely knew the stakes when he decided to sign the deal with Spotify, moving from an open podcasting ecosystem to a corporate controlled one. > So I'm guessing, like a lot of things in the US, private companies are now deciding to figure that part out. For people who decided to take a giant paycheck from those private companies, yes.
- mrobins 5y agoHe got paid $100M and his popularity is at least partly based on throwing red meat to stir up controversy. I think he’s thriving on attention from lots of people who would never otherwise think about him.
