Yeah I don't get this part. While I could understand why they'd want to remove Alex Jones, there are uncontroversial names like Tim Ferriss who were also removed.
- enkid 5y agoBaseless speculation, but maybe the guests are asking for their episodes to be removed so they aren't associated with the podcast?
- scruple 5y agoI really doubt that. Many of the episodes that were removed were fellow comedians like Theo Von and Tom Segura who are in Joe Rogan's peer group.
- robbedpeter 5y agoNumerous affected guests have made videos and spoken about it. Only Rogan and Spotify know why. We get to find out if Rogan actually has principles or if he just talks a good game. I'm hoping he's not a sellout and this situation results in his move to some decentralized platform. 80% of his audience will follow, and the ones he lost to YouTube will come back. It'd be awesome if he dragged all his podcaster buddies along with him, and the comics and musicians followed. Uninstalled Spotify, guess no more jre podcast until Joe moves. If he doesn't, I'm not interested in whatever kind of person sells out like that after taking such a powerful stand on censorship.
