If Joe Rogan and his controversial guests can make make a better argument for their pandemic perspective and influence people better than the CDC, Fauci, heath experts, et al. I’d argue that is more a failure of the CDC, Fauci, health experts, et al. as opposed to any failure of Spotify to censor and pull content from their platform.

If people want to make Joe Rogan inconsequential to the pandemic they should demand much better quality communication and chaos from our health experts, which has been sadly to date—all over the map.

JRE doesn't have open debates between pro/anti vaccine guests. He gives 3+ hours of air time to vaccine conspiracy theorists with very little pushback. It's easy to get swayed by a contrarian opinion if that's the only one you hear.

Any siloed communication will do that and it’s not just contrarian opinions, it’s any opinion.

So are these people are only forced to listen to JRE? Does Spotify have other podcasts that prevent a contrary opinion to JRE?
