Spotify has its fair share of problems, like not paying artists enough for their work, but this is one issue we shouldn’t blame Spotify for. Spotify spent $100 million on Rogan they are going to let him say whatever he wants, and I don’t blame them.
However, I can recognize that Spotify is a business, not a fact-checker. I’m not saying I agree with Rogan –– I don’t even like him or his show. Is it really their job to fact-check? If Kanye West sings about how Hillary Clinton eats babies and Donald Trump is going to save America, is it Spotify’s job to fact-check his song? They aren’t a news site or a scholarly web page. If it’s between them and Rogan, who do you think Spotify is going to choose?Īnd why shouldn’t they choose Rogan? Spotify is first and foremost a business. 20th, Niel Young has 4,267,876 listeners, according to his Spotify profile, and Joni Mitchell has 2,073,353 monthly listeners. The Joe Rogan Experience has 11 million listeners. People who are already suspicious of the vaccine aren’t going to change their minds because Spotify removes Rogan’s podcast and Spotify knows this.įrom Spotify’s perspective, removing The Joe Rogan Experience would be a terrible business move. If The Joe Rogan Experience is removed from Spotify, his listeners aren’t going to change their minds about vaccines.
Those who still support the former president will likely follow him to this app and anything else he may do. Trump is now coming out with his own social media app: “Truth Social”. President Donald Trump has been banned or suspended from nearly all major social media platforms, but that has not diminished his influence. Removing a voice from a platform does not delete the voice.
