| Joe Rogan is an idiot but why would I cancel spotify? People are so stupid these days. If you don't agree with speech, don't listen to it. Why does everything always instantly go from 0 to 100 for speech that slightly discomforts you. "Fire him!" "Cancel her!" "Abolish the service" lmao |
| People should cancel Spotify because it pays musicians a fraction of a penny for a listen and give $100 million to Joe Rogan. Why pretend it is a music streaming service? |
What is a better music streaming service? |
Now this is a legitimate reason to hate Spotify. |
I just want them to take him off the main page. Why are they promoting him of all people so prominently? |
Being dead is way beyond "slight discomfort." |
In terms of payment for artists, all of them. There’s a chart in here: https://freeyourmusic.com/blog/how-much-does-spotify-pay-per-stream |
You can call it promotion, but I think part of what’s happening is that he already had a huge following, people knew he went to Spotify exclusively, so people sign up for Spotify and want to go directly to Joe Rogan. People don’t realize, he was huge before the Spotify deal. He’d been podcasting for 10 years on his own and gained a following through word of mouth. Spotify didn’t buy his podcast out of nowhere. The real question you should be asking yourself is how did Joe Rogan get so huge in the first place? That’s the “problem” you would really have to deal with, not just censoring his vaccine views. |
That is exactly the question. Lots of people make money by shoveling bull crap to people. Buy it if you want. The rest of us don't have to patronize Spotify if we object to the money be made in that way. |
He's on the landing page. That's promotion. Yes, there are millions of idiots who like JR and that is the root issue. We can't just get rid of the idiots. But Spotify can stop promoting their idol. |
| In a country where we have our citizens dying because they ate Tide laundry detergent, I don't know why. We're all so shocked people need to be prevented from misinformation as well. For those saying people aren't stupid I think you might be overestimating the intelligence of our country. |
+1 Idiots make up an unfortunately large % of our population. |
| I still don’t get why conservatives are so upset by the operation of the free market. |
This. And I hate the interface. I went back to Pandora a while ago. |
Trump is proud of the vaccine development under his presidency and has repeatedly told people to get vaccinated. Even as a liberal, I know this. Maybe trying to get your news from independent news media. |
