same only issue is the apple music web player blows and I hate itunes, I guess Tidal?

**** Spotify

Wow we’re living in dark times gents.

Didn’t think Spotify would cave

I dont see how the show can go forward with Spotify at this point and be what it was

go suck Joe’s baby dick bitch

113 episodes deleted from Spotify now.

No you're not.

People were cancelling their Netflix subscription after Cuties too.

Fuk I don’t wanna go to Apple Music. Anyway to save all songs in the library?

theres like 4 alternatives with the same content as spotify you cant say that about netflix

Misc bb.com

Lol.

Ya... Ok.

Yeah I will. I'll go back to google play. Or just stream off YouTube. I know they're all one in the same but i wont be paying spotify if they want to censor joe for only asking questions, and talking to professionals.

Rogan hasnt done chit. Hes never told anyone what to do. He talks to everyone. Even weirdos like Sanjay Gupta who was on seseme street pushing vaccines to children (srs)

Aren't there like 1800 JRE podcasts? Couldn't this strictly be consolidation?

true he’s liberal as fuk but old school liberal


And joe rogan is a true cuck raising another mans kid

Wanna know what's more important than throwing away money in a strip club?

Boycott spotify

A ton of those are comedians though. I get Gavin and Milo but ****ing Tom Segura? Ehhh...

Like spotify but if this is true, that's it spotify fukc you

I think its time for Joe to start his own platform

They will continue to censor him everywhere he goes

This is insane

“A publisher has editorial control over a creator’s content — they can take action on the content before it’s even published,” he says, like editing episodes, removing guests, or preventing one from publishing at all. Ek noted that Spotify does have editorial control over the properties it owns outright, like The Ringer and Gimlet, but emphasized the distinction between those studios and Rogan. “Even though JRE is an exclusive, it is licensed content. It is important to note that we do not have creative control over Joe Rogan’s content. We don’t approve his guests in advance, and just like any other creator, we get his content when he publishes, and then we review it, and if it violates our policies, we take the appropriate enforcement actions.”

Notably, Ek did not defend Rogan’s views. “There are many things that Joe Rogan says that I strongly disagree with and find very offensive,” he said.

He adds that there are a “number” of JRE episodes Spotify has removed because they violate the platform’s rules. (It’s unclear what episodes Ek is referencing, but fans noticed some missing when Rogan made the move to the platform in September 2020, and Rogan acknowledged their removal last March.)

During a question-and-answer session, employees pushed back on Ek’s position. They questioned whether the platform rules are stringent enough, if the company’s latest actions did enough to address the scientific community’s concerns, and how employees’ work to advance diversity within the company can reckon with some Rogan comments, like his questioning of Black identity. Ek responded with the same messaging he employed earlier but added that “exclusivity does not equal endorsement” and said the solution to this problem might be signing more exclusives: “The real thing here is to try to go for an even broader set of exclusives that represent even more voices.”

“If we want even a shot at achieving our bold ambitions, it will mean having content on Spotify that many of us may not be proud to be associated with,” he says. “Not anything goes, but there will be opinions, ideas, and beliefs that we disagree with strongly and even makes us angry or sad.”

For some employees, though, Ek and the team’s sentiments rang hollow. Throughout the town hall, they messaged internally, according to screenshots viewed by The Verge, expressing disappointment with the choice Spotify made in not only signing Rogan but also in defending him. They questioned how the company considers itself a platform while still actively promoting JRE and including its logo on the cover art and how what some consider an ethical issue is being put in pure business terms.

Ek stuck with the message, though, ending his speech with a word of encouragement to employees: consider the company mission.

A lot of these removed episodes are ones from years ago, before covid. Removed after the MSM hit pieces on him. Its clearly done as punishment rather than "removing covid misinformation".

spotify and big tech are trash

They're probably trying to make it look like they arent specifically targeting the covid podcasts. If they take some normal ones down then start blending the covid ones in with them they think they can get away with it that way as they arent specifically targeting the covid ones.

Basically think people are dumb fukks.

What app do yall use for music , pandora/youtube music?

spotify has a great interface will admit

"censorship is fine because im comfortable"

Not really a fan of JRE, I tried listening to like 50 episodes, it was just about him talking about drugs and MMA half the time. I don't think he should be cancelled, he's just the interviewer, the guests he brings on seems legit so I don't know what to think.

My God, I wish it was.

Why the hell has a David Seaman one been removed? Cannot think of anybody less offensive.
