A musician would need to generate 23 billion streams on Spotify to earn what they're paying Joe Rogan for his podcast rights (assuming a typical $.00437 payout per stream). In other words, Spotify values Rogan more than any musician in the history of the world. Sound fair to you?
(1/2) Check out the thousand responses from Joe Rogan fans below. They ALL are very worried about a world in which Rogan might get less than $100 million, but not one expresses even passing concern for musicians who have a million-streamed hit & won't even make minimum wage.
(2/2) The point of the comparison was to draw attention to the plight of musicians (who, I note, never even got a chance to negotiate these ridiculous streaming rates). I don't know Rogan's work and wasn't judging it. But if his fans are any indication of his values...whoa!
