I think you cancelled your subscription so you could TELL people you cancelled your subscription as a result of Joe Rogan being given a deal at Spotify.
The second option is mildly insufferable, and a very transparent way to grift upvotes from other like minded contrarians addicted to trendy knee-jerk alarmism.
Me, pointing this out, might also be a bit insufferable, but I guess I just enjoy pointing these things out, because everyone who uses this site is so intelligent (on average).
It sucks seeing such intelligent people get caught up in these pits of cognitive dissonance.
