I’m the opposite. I paid for Spotify subscription long before Joe Rogan deal, and never listened to any of his podcasts. I learned that they’re controversial after Neil Young was pulled from Spotify. I guess the message was delivered, and I actually considered cancelling my family subscription and switching to something else. I’m happy about their decision, and will remain their customer.
- Dwelve 5y agoJust so we are clear. You never heard to a single episode, but because woke idiots on twitter said something you considered canceling the service? Like, you were going to cancel because someone said Joe Rogan did something controversial?
- srg0 5y agoJust so we’re clear, I don’t consider neither Neil Young nor hundreds of medical professionals to be idiots. I read the open letter too, and formed an opinion about what kind of podcast is Joe Rogan’s. So at this point what matters is that Spotify made a deal with Joe Rogan, and thus Spotify is also responsible for whatever he fancies to broadcast. As the only way to vote in this matter is my wallet, I considered cancelling the subscription. If I did I would also try to convince other people to do the same. And frankly, Spotify was a better service without podcasts.
- RupertHandjob 5y agoJust to be clear. You are ok with child rapist R Kelly and women beater Chris Brown being there, but some guy talking to a doctor/scientist is too much?
- jandorn 5y agoFair enough. So what opinion did you formed on JRE? As someone who listen to bunch of his podcasts before I will be able to say is your opinion accurate.
- nradov 5y agoI consider Neil Young to be an idiot because he claimed that he could catch HIV if a homosexual clerk handled his groceries https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/michelle-shocked-not-the-first-artist-to-betray-her-fanbase-87622/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/michelle-shock... I'm not here to defend Joe Rogan, I just think it's stupid to get drawn into Internet fights between celebrities. Most of it is kayfabe anyway.
- srg0 5y agoDidn't know that.
