I don't see how Joe makes them money. My understanding is that the consumers he brings make them money, so maybe same thing.

Either way, it's bad for the consumer. It's the people using Spotify themselves, and Joe Rogan for signing with them that made this potential censorship possible by allowing themselves to be walled off.

Neil Young hasn't lost. He's kicked off the anti-free speech war on Podcasts. It's always been coming, the messaging has been clear: the far right operate with impunity and spread hate and disinformation on podcasts, and it's uncensorable. This has to change.

Once the king goes, everyone is fair game. That's why they are after Joe, and it isn't going to stop.

I highly doubt Joe doesn't end up back on an .RSS feed hosted by Gab servers before the end of the 2024 election.
