And Joe already issued a public apology on a story the other day which was so out of character for him.

Wish Joe never went with Spotify. I don't blame him, he got his bag but damn.. it was nice before when we knew that no one could touch him and he can be truly free.

Joe just bought a 14.4m home in Austin :cheers:

Late last week, we first reported that Spotify employees were demanding direct editorial oversight over the recently-acquired Joe Rogan Experience podcast. That would include the ability to directly edit or remove sections of upcoming interviews, or block the uploading of episodes deemed problematic. The employees also demanded the ability to add trigger warnings, corrections, and references to fact-checked articles on topics discussed by Rogan in the course of his multi-hour discussions.

:roll::roll:

There are some things in life that come with too heavy a price tag. Especially when you're already a multi millionaire. I guess for some people, enough is never enough.

This may give Rogan a true perspective of being left leaning and cancel culture.

Maybe you're right. I mean, he has already acknowledged many many times over the years how bad it is for a plethora of reasons, but now he's getting a true, genuine, first hand experience of just how nasty it really is.

[highwhey]

Good. He likes to interview white supremacists/alt right figures, so good, he can go choke on a dick.

Him and TheMan seem to really have a self loathing issue with being Mexican. It's the main thing people find off putting about them. Otherwise they'd be alright.

Like the way they post... you can tell if they were white, they'd be the type who are super proud and arrogant and racist about it, more than any other posters here. But theyve got too much Azteca about them they cant escape.

Feels like they're on some "can't join em, hate em" stuff all the time.

Sad!

I mean white people jokes is fine. I don't care about jokes.

But like "arggh, he interviewed a racist, urglgle gurglglge alt right arghghg eat a dick for voting Trump arghghg"

The angry snowflake and "omg raciststst" stuff is low IQ.

he's a good podcaster for the most part, but he's constantly high out of hs mind in most interviews. i don't get the jazz about him, he seems to make a concentrated effort in being fair, but idk...something about him rubs me the wrong way.

i'm literally shitposting rn, like sitting on the toilet...and kenny and pat seemed like good bait for the morning

Thanks bro. ****in FDNY ambulance truck backed into my shit while my car was parked in my works parking lot.

In the process of seeing what I can do. Literally just got that shit too.

[fsvr54]

Anyone who uses the word "problematic" is a puzzy bitch

[beer]

yeah white supremacists like Daryl Davis

[Bimbo Coles]

How about his masters at Spotify force him to create a facsimile of the old set? The new covid camouflage set is the choice of a man bereft of taste.



Wish Joe never went with Spotify. I don't blame him, he got his bag but damn.. it was nice before when we knew that no one could touch him and he can be truly free. A man in his position is never free. Bravo may be free, and Rogan would have fits when he'd get to pontificating.

[iamgine]

I don't think they can censor Joe. Doesn't his contract stipulates that he will not be censored by anyone? He's basically Michael Jordan in the podcast world so I'd assume he'd have a 'no censor clause'.

If not then Joe done fukked up.

[Bimbo Coles]

It mirrors the Netflix/Norm Macdonald situation. They'll vampirise and neuter him, and he'll get some bread for it.

Norm's still shy to bring back the podcast. They got him good.

[CelticBaller]

Leftists bitches are all for free speech as long as it’s their views spewed

[Nanners]

If Joe had any brains whatsoever (he doesnt), he would force spotify to chose between keeping their woke tranny employees throwing this tantrum, or keeping his podcast... considering how much they just paid for his podcast, I doubt the decision would be very difficult for them

Glenn Greenwald and Shant Mesrobian break down this strange hate that Rogan gets from the Left very thoroughly in the above link.

Something I always bear in mind: The majority of people on the Right and on the Left are not very intelligent. Or, more simply put; most people are stupid.

[Luka Doncic]

I knew it would never work and they will censor him or mold him into something he's not. He won't get censored but he will definitely watch what he says and that's not good because he's already changing. Howard Stern is a perfect example of this and he's changed or been what I call indirect censorship.

Indirect censorship is what's happening to Joe. Rather than allow him to say whatever he wants but giving him $100 million to mold the biggest podcaster in the world to what they want.

If I knew you had a cult following then I'm willing to pay you money so I can mold you into something more along the lines of my agenda. Rogan is not so smart. He's a male bimbo.

[Norcaliblunt]

What’s funny is Joe already censors himself to be accepted. You really think he is saying how he really feels? Or is speaking on things he really knows that go on behind the scenes? This dude wasn’t saying the whole truth and nothing but the truth on his own before Spotify. He holds himself back to maintain an image he’s comfortable with. Right or left.

I think Joe is smart enough to understand all of this but took the money because .... it's a **** ton of money. Like things don't have to be so black and white. Joe probably knows deep down he 'sold out' but can easily justify it because he did what's best for his family. Stop bitching

Sounds like it's just a few whiny employees. Hardly a giant conspiracy.

Rogan's first episode in the new poorly designed room was ****ing embarrassing. The podcast is a shell of what it used to be.

Yep. His new studio is absolute ass and honestly I only watched part of the first one in the new studio and haven't watched since. I can't believe that nobody stopped him from making such an incredibly shitty set. Unreal. Anyways...

Everyone's going to take the L here because I think his viewership is going to tank as a result of that set.

Spotify takes the L because viewership tanks because of the new set. Spotify takes an even bigger L if they bow to the demands of their SJW employees. They should tell those people to **** off and fire them or ignore them.

Rogan takes the L because he has neutered not only his audience with the platform shift and with the shitty new set... but he WOULD have made more money AND not had to deal with this shit had he just started transitioning to a subscription based service. Spotify didn't invest this money for no reason. They believed in his ability to expand their subscriber base and ultimately make them money. They didn't pay him $100 million with the goal of losing money in mind. They knew his value and the value it would bring to the platform. If they signed off on the new set also, they're just smoking crack. But I digress. Rogan ultimately takes the L because, while $100 million is incredible, as hard as this is to believe, he could have made even more money than the $100 mill by transitioning to sub based and staying on YouTube or creating his own platform or something. AND he wouldn't be having to deal with stupid low IQ people telling him what he should do or even giving suggestions.

Everyone involved takes the L. At least Rogan will get 'guaranteed' paid tho.

[hold this L]

If Rogan went on patreon, he would likely make millions from that platform alone. Even if it is just releasing content 1-2 weeks earlier and then just show certain clips on youtube like they already do.

The apex of JRE. Everything has went down since.

Bingo

Although he kinda deserves it for qualifiying the lefties all the time.

Imma still listen to my boy tbh

his been killing it since he moved to tegas.

Neil Young wants Joe Rogan banned off Spotify for spreading "false" information about Covid. And if they don't he wants all his music removed from Spotify immediately. "They can have me or Rogan but not both!"

Funny thing is he probably can't even make a legal argument for this since he no longer owns a majority stake in his own music. He sold out to a big corporate company a couple of years ago.

Funny to see these old school anti-government liberals now goose stepping to an authoritarian regime.

It's funny because they only reason these commie wannabes are rich is because of capitalism and record sales.

Neil Young is in over his head here


He also never listened to Rogan that's for sure

He made a career of empty virtue signaling, guess he's making a retirement of it too.

These entertainers like RATM, Howard Stern, and now Neil Young who made a living off of sticking it to the man are now working for the man. Pathetic.
