Are you ignoring the fact that Joe was well-known before Spotify picked him up as exclusive? It's not like he wasn't the biggest name in podcasting pre-Spotify.

What changes is him and Spotify making $$$, not whether his voice being heard or not.

What does this even address? Your original implication was that JRE is doing this for the bux, but my comment is saying he may well have done this deal to protect his platform. Now you say this? What exactly is your point?
