    He has 190MM downloads a month. How much bigger is it going to get?

    Surely the fact that half his podcasts are MMA related limits it.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      I don’t like my free podcast app. It’s clunky to fin stuff. I love my paid Spotify app and I use it all the time. I was surmising from my experience.

        Employees threaten to strike if Spotify refuses to censor Joe Rogan

        Despite several internal meetings, select staffers were reportedly dissatisfied with the way senior management responded to Rogan’s controversial material, which prior to finding its way to Spotify, aired exclusively on the longtime funnyman’s YouTube channel.

        Digital Music News reports:

        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.
        Rogan found himself in hot water last week after spreading misinformation about the Portland fires but later used his platform to issue a lengthy apology (more on that here). That said, the part-time comedian did not address the situation with Spotify or some of his more controversial guests.

        More from Digital Music News:

        Some of the group’s demands have already been met by Spotify management, though a refusal to allow further changes is stirring talk of a high-profile walkout or strike. According to preliminary plans shared with Digital Music News, the strike would principally involve New York-based Spotify employees, and would be accompanied by protests outside Spotify’s Manhattan headquarters. Other aspects would involve media appearances and coordination with other activist organizations.

        Listeners, however, may not share those same concerns.

        Rogan has been both celebrated and rebuked for his wide-ranging guest list, choosing to interview some of the biggest names in sports, politics, entertainment, and pop culture. But now that someone else is paying the bills, his forum may no longer be able to operate like the wild west.

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          I suppose they are threatening to keep their own culture pure. As a listener I could give 2 fucks what is on their platform as long as it covers what I want to listen to. Now I recognize Spotify has cult like tendencies. I’ll probably ignore that as switching costs are inconvenient.

              I saw that yesterday. God I wish their CEO would accept the signatures as resignation letters and hire some adults.

                        Seems a little misleading when phrased that way.

                        What he said was:

                        Trump, he added, “can incite a bunch of morons to do something really fucking stupid.”

                        Which is pretty hard to disagree with.
