Spotify CEO will NOT cancel Joe Rogan

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek told employees Sunday that while he strongly condemns racial slurs used by Joe Rogan in the past, he won't be cutting ties with the platform's most popular podcaster, according to an internal memo obtained by Axios.
"Spotify Team,

"There are no words I can say to adequately convey how deeply sorry I am for the way The Joe Rogan Experience controversy continues to impact each of you. Not only are some of Joe Rogan’s comments incredibly hurtful – I want to make clear that they do not represent the values of this company. I know this situation leaves many of you feeling drained, frustrated and unheard.

"I think it’s important you’re aware that we’ve had conversations with Joe and his team about some of the content in his show, including his history of using some racially insensitive language. Following these discussions and his own reflections, he chose to remove a number of episodes from Spotify. He also issued his own apology over the weekend.

"While I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform, I realize some will want more. And I want to make one point very clear – I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer. We should have clear lines around content and take action when they are crossed, but canceling voices is a slippery slope. Looking at the issue more broadly, it’s critical thinking and open debate that powers real and necessary progress.

"Another criticism that I continue to hear from many of you is that it’s not just about The Joe Rogan Experience on Spotify; it comes down to our direct relationship with him. In last week's Town Hall, I outlined to you that we are not the publisher of JRE. But perception due to our exclusive license implies otherwise. So I’ve been wrestling with how this perception squares with our values.

"If we believe in having an open platform as a core value of the company, then we must also believe in elevating all types of creators, including those from underrepresented communities and a diversity of backgrounds. We’ve been doing a great deal of work in this area already but I think we can do even more. So I am committing to an incremental investment of $100 million for the licensing, development, and marketing of music (artists and songwriters) and audio content from historically marginalized groups. This will dramatically increase our efforts in these areas. While some might want us to pursue a different path, I believe that more speech on more issues can be highly effective in improving the status quo and enhancing the conversation altogether.

"I deeply regret that you are carrying so much of this burden. I also want to be transparent in setting the expectation that in order to achieve our goal of becoming the global audio platform, these kinds of disputes will be inevitable. For me, I come back to centering on our mission of unlocking the potential of human creativity and enabling more than a billion people to enjoy the work of what we think will be more than 50 million creators. That mission makes these clashes worth the effort.

"I’ve told you several times over the last week, but I think it’s critical we listen carefully to one another and consider how we can and should do better. I’ve spent this time having lots of conversations with people inside and outside of Spotify – some have been supportive while others have been incredibly hard, but all of them have made me think.

"One of the things I am thinking about is what additional steps we can take to further balance creator expression with user safety. I’ve asked our teams to expand the number of outside experts we consult with on these efforts and look forward to sharing more details.

"Your passion for this company and our mission has made a difference in the lives of so many listeners and creators around the world. I hope you won’t lose sight of that. It’s that ability to focus and improve Spotify even on some of our toughest days that has helped us build the platform we have. We have a clear opportunity to learn and grow together from this challenge and I am ready to meet it head on.

"I know it is difficult to have these conversations play out so publicly, and I continue to encourage you to reach out to your leaders, your HR partners or me directly if you need support or resources for yourself or your team."

— Spotify CEO Daniel Ek

If he cancels Joe, he cancels his CEO position. Money talks, bull**** walks. Daniel Ek is a cuck.

Not surprised. You go after the tippy top just because you have an contract that will make you $100MM over many years, a drop in their bucket, and they'll show you who's boss.

Joe Rogan's trolls need to have their food supply cut off.

Theme of my latest thread. Conservatives rally around a common foe--which is usually some contrived boogeyman on a single issue--and construct their political animus thusly. Liberals have a much more diverse array of perspectives and call for universal accountability, even for their own. The difference between conservatives and liberals is that liberals don't ignore things if it isn't convenient.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.

No one cares about your Salon article, phаggot. But, I'll give you credit for at least posting a gay link instead of just plagiarizing it, like you always do.

Ah yes, the Catch-22. If I post my sources, they get chat on and labelled leftist propaganda. If I don't post my sources, I'm a plagiarist. I see what you did there.

When did I mention forgiveness? Lmfao you don't even understand the larger point (win) here.

Listen up dunce. Rogan hasn't been cancelled. Spotify CEO openly states "I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer. We should have clear lines around content and take action when they are crossed, but canceling voices is a slippery slope. Looking at the issue more broadly, it’s critical thinking and open debate that powers real and necessary progress." Spotify CEO goes against the leftist narrative and champions logic and reason.Anyone(political party irrelevant) who openly speaks such principles, especially those who enjoy a large social media reach, is a useful tool in the fight against leftism. It's a simple concept dude. I really shouldn't have to explain it.

The left's playbook is so predicatble.

Give it a couple days and then the media will blow up a story that because Rogan wasn't cancelled the assistant to the assistant of Spotify's HR assistant manager is walking out as a result.

Don’t really get your argument here.


So since Rogan is a Bernie Sanders supporting lib- that endorsed him to run against Trump - he now represents an example of libs holding themselves accountable when they actually aren’t?

Nobody cares about the theme of your last laughingstock of a thread, you tranny-soliciting loser.

demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats."

The entire post is fabricated; an outright lie. You are making the mistake of treating his political commentary as something worthy of merit. It is anything but.

99% of people do. He gets it now, but slamming on the brakes while you are already on that slippery slope does nothing. There's blood in the water, if Rogan gets out of this he won't be the same.

I'm not even going to read that statement. I care about action and action alone.

Spotify has removed over a 100 JRE videos since last week. They're not going to ban him because clearly he has agreed to adhere to their unspoken rules.

Joe gets to maintain his status quo and the Woke Mob gets the satisfaction that he won't go off the rails and interfere with their Agenda. They also get the extra satisfaction of Joe having to comb through his catalog and censor his own content. At the same time, Joe doesn't get canceled and gets to remain in the good graces of the Woke Mob (for now). Interesting how Spotify will continue to handle its public image. I've seen some Redditors demanding a purge of all artists with controversial backgrounds. The Woke Mob really does continue to dominate American media.

This has to be the dumbest post so far this year. Competition is stiff with some other retards, but you win the award. This dude can't actually be a person, has to be a bot, right?

definitely a troll and always projecting just like the left does.

bodhy poetically embodies the left's simple flow chart of "project->execute said projection->gaslight"

I've never seen that account make an astute point or debate in good faith. Similar to how JLC will never make a point but will always argue from exception against points.

However I will state that bodhy meant don't feed the trolls lol.
