how can employees at Spotify not understand that it is a library/platform and they don't have to like everything on it.

do they also complain about songs they don't like being hosted and ask for them to be removed?

quote:

"You realize that people are not looking at this objectively," Rogan said in the podcast. "They are activists and they have this agenda, and the agenda is very ideologically driven that anybody who even thinks they might be trans should be trans, are trans, and the more trans people the better."

Spotify is going to cave to the loud minority eventually and will probably violate their contract or just part ways with JRE eventually. None of these tech platforms will grow a spine and tell these people no.

I don't think so in this case. They would owe him too much money and his numbers are huge.

Tumblr deleting porn thus spread the anime trans people all over the internet was a mistake on bar with Assassination of the ache Duke.

Rogan has been calling out right from the start the BS with men competing with women in sports simply by identifying as a woman.

I don't think they will remove the podcast, but its obvious they are going to not allow certain guests anymore

which is a shame, his Alex Jones podcasts were always so much fun

Spotify just gave him a $100 million contract and the dude has the largest podcast in the world. Spotify isn't going to frick around with that sort of money over some Twitter warriors

Depends on how the employment contract is written up. He would have been a fool to give up creative control of the show

Speaking anti trans, hey Spotify, how about y’all stop promoting Michelle Obama’s podcast every fricking time I open the app?

There are eminem songs about rape, have any of these employees at spotify raised any concerns about that?


You could wipe out thousands of songs if you go down this road.

I’m sure Rogan and Spotify discussed this well prior to striking the deal.
