If musicians want to pull their music off of spotify in protest, they should. If spotify wants to keep Joe Rogan on their platform, they should. I think think spotify owes Joe a platform, whatever the case may be about his using the n-word or other issues. Cancel culture is mainstream now, not just a leftist symptom any more. I personally think Rogan will be fine. He makes podcasts, he can host them anywhere he wants and his audience will follow. He'll probably come out ahead if spotify cancels him.

I don't think Spotify owes him anything and I don't doubt for a moment they would kick him to the curb if they were not in bed with him to the tune of a 100 million bucks. I'm sure if they did he would be fine though as I saw some tweet from some podcasting company offering him 100 million to come to them.
Rumble, it’s more like a YouTube alternative. At least that’s the offer I saw in headlines today.
