Hey those 90 million will help pay for Joe Rogan's 200 million.

I thought the Joe Rogan deal was 100 million. Many people have been stating he was seriously underpaid but I think he was one of the first major deals so maybe there wasn't any strong metric to gauge what he is worth.

Furthermore, they play multiple ads during his podcast regardless of if you are a paying customer or not. This one really grinds my gears. If they haven't made back their money yet then I'd be shocked.

"two people familiar with the details of the transaction" told NYT that it was at least $200 million for three and a half years. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/17/arts/music/spotify-joe-ro...

oh I guess I was mistaken. I constantly heard 100 million but it was just a guess since the number was never disclosed officially.
