I've watched some of Rogan's shows and find them decent enough but he is nothing special. He was completely anti recreational drugs years ago but now he seems to talk about smoking marijuana and taking DMT on every episode.

I just think he is a bandwangon jumper to a certain extent with all the Covid stuff to have a contrary view.


About as funny as a burning orphanage.

All of this for me. The appeal of his podcast has very little to do with Rogan himself, IMO, and I tend to think his political beliefs at any given point depend largely on the last person he talked to.

There's not much point in trying to de-platform somebody who only got the Spotify deal based on the massive audience he'd built up without a major broadcasting partner, but fair play to Neil Young for standing up for what he believes in.

Young obviously wanted to make a public point but you keep talking about him just quietly removing his music from Spotify.

A lot don’t seem to get that very point.

Onna side note I’d nivver heard of the other feller previously but now have, plus I also now know he spouts shite even without listening to him. Partly because of some smbrs previous posting records. Win win for Young and me.

The difference is he still obviously wanted to be on Spotify. However he would only be on the platform if Spotify deplatformed Rogan.

One scenario is him making his point and leaving the platform that he doesn’t agree with. The other is him giving an ultimatum to the platform about them hosting another person he doesn’t want on there with him.

He plowed millions into making his own downloading-streaming system which apparently musicians and producers etc agreed was better soundwise than the others available but it nivver took off. He’s a very very reluctant download-streaming participant.
 
Just listened to joe for the first time.

not for me got a bit bored so switched to Spotify and listened to RIO(collectors version) which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I had never heard of him. I googled him and it appears he is someone who is famous in America.

He hosts the biggest podcast in the world, previously on YouTube now on Spotify. He's had loads of people you'll have heard of on there, Bernie Sanders, Edward Snowden, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Alex Jones, Amanda Knox, Quentin Tarantino, Jamie Foxx, Tyson Fury, Elon Musk.

I would have thought he'd have been impossible to not have heard of tbh, well by anyone who has access to the internet, but clearly I was very wrong.
