Do you think Spotify is any different?



what i just read is spotify is ad supported unless you pay for membership. Now I fully understand that I am in some way paying for apple music, but what would be my incentive to pay another fee for spotify to get the same results I'm already getting?

Your discerning taste in music apps is noted tho

I’m not trying to pitch that you switch to Spotify. I’m just glad I was able to fill you in on the details of the largest music streaming platform there is. I hope you feel like you’ve learned something.

No, it's really not.

I have both, so don't really have a "dog in the fight" on which is better, but they're basically the same.

Apple Music in its current form is almost identical to Spotify, and it's definitely nothing like iTunes was.

Why not? Should one be considered inferior or stupid or something if they don't have Spotify? Or know anything about it?


Yes.

I make mix tapes of what I want to listen to and use this.



Are you telling me there's a better way?

Sucks.

I won't pay to download, which is the primary way for me to listen to Rogan. He was my go to travel day Podcast, because his show was at least half of any 5+ hour travel day. Can't stream that.

Do you have to have a membership to listen to the podcast on Spotify? I used to have a Spotify membership, but I canceled it when Google Play Music was bundling Youtube Premium with their subscription. I don't even know if they still offer that bundle, but I've been grandfathered in.

Rogan’s YouTube channel will remain live, but it won’t contain full episodes. There might be clips or other supplementary content which could benefit from YouTube’s search algorithm and push people to listen to full episodes on Spotify.


Forget that.

I typically dislike most of Rogan's shows, but I like a lot of the nutrition and exercise people he has on. Some of the blockbuster guests (Snowden for example) are good. But that sucks that the full episodes won't be available on YouTube.

So no video? Or does spotify stream that as well?
Per JR’s social media post:
quote:

Announcement: the podcast is moving to @spotify! Starting on September 1 the podcast will be available on Spotify as well as all platforms, and then at the end of the year it will move exclusively to Spotify, including the video version. It will remain FREE, and it will be the exact same show. It’s just a licensing deal, so Spotify won’t have any creative control over the show. They want me to just continue doing it the way I’m doing it right now. We will still have clips up on YouTube but full versions of the show will only be on Spotify after the end of the year. I’m excited to have the support of the largest audio platform in the world and I hope you folks are there when we make the switch!
I’m sure this decision was made primarily for the $, but I also think the YouTube algorithm/copyright strikes had a role to play in his thought process. They used to be able to say whatever they wanted and pull up whatever they wanted for reference and had to stop doing that due to potential copyright strikes/search result manipulations. I think that was one of the reasons he had to stop live streaming as well. I’m sure part of this deal included protections against that sort of shadow censorship.

Ole Joe sold out
I've been trying to tell people he sold out a while ago.

This move is the type of things he used to always speak out against. Sucks to see him do this. I have YouTube premium and only listen on YouTube when I even do listen nowadays. I'm not going to download spotify just for his show and only listening to clips is just garbage. I guess I'm completely out on his podcast now when he makes the switch later this year.

YouTube Red man here as well.

I will not be following Rogan to Spotify. I used to Stan Rogan hard but in the last year or so the quality has just dipped and the podcast is just not as good.

JRE had a good run but Joe has secured the bag and sold out now.
