Maybe?... except, while I have heard a ton of stuff about this Spotify/Rogan issue many times a day for days now, you are the only person I have seen mention this angle or that coming episode (and it was dumb luck that I saw your comment, as I wasn't expecting anything new and so was just kind of glancing over this thread for what the splash damage of Spotify's "rules" might be).

If you are correct about the reason for this "recent heat", the strategy for people to misdirect the issue about something else and then drown out the actual issue while tiring out the media on the overall subject does seem like it could bypass "telling people not to look at or talk about X makes them want to look at X and talk about X" as you are making the whole issue about some unrelated-seeming Y.
