Maybe if you’re removing 110 episodes of a podcaster’s show, the problem isn’t the episodes.

Worth repeating that this is not really about Rogan, it’s about @Spotify paying for and profiting from Rogan. It’s about wanting these platforms to be more conscious about what they’re putting into the world.
Rogan will never be deplatformed. He’s immensely popular. His audience will follow him wherever he goes.
But @Spotify paying him an immense about of money to say the n-word and lie about vaccines is untenable for a lot of people.

And, as for the argument that this is “corporate media” doing this, whoever is saying that 1) is probably trying to follow Rogan’s model and 2) can fuck all the way off.
Rogan has a $100 million contract from @Spotify, a public company with a $35 billion market cap.

This isn’t about speech. It’s about MONEY. The sooner everyone admits that, the better.
Those who are blaming “corporate media” are just voting for another company taking our money.

.@Spotify knew well what they were paying for and they gave him a $100 million because they were buying an audience, not Rogan himself.
It’s only now when all of this surfaces that they realize they bought Rogan, too. N-words and all.
Cynicism can be expensive, man.
