Unless you are pretty high up at Spotify, you have literally no idea how much Joe Rogan has brought in for them. His podcast has been number one on the platform since it launched.

Personally, I cancelled my Spotify premium family plan over it. I doubt I’m the only one.

  OTOH, the only reason I ever downloaded the Spotify app was because there was an episode of that show that I wanted to listen to, and it wasn't available anywhere else.

  I guarantee you're not the only one. Do you think Spotify brought on someone like Rogan without considering protest cancellations?

  I suspect you didn't cancel your subscription because of Joe Rogan being given a deal at Spotify. I think you cancelled your subscription so you could TELL people you cancelled your subscription as a result of Joe Rogan being given a deal at Spotify.

    Is that a useful distinction? In both cases, the event that eventually resulted in a canceled subscription was giving Joe Rogan a Spotify deal.

      The second option is mildly insufferable, and a very transparent way to grift upvotes from other like minded contrarians addicted to trendy knee-jerk alarmism. Me, pointing this out, might also be a bit insufferable, but I guess I just enjoy pointing these things out, because everyone who uses this site is so intelligent (on average). It sucks seeing such intelligent people get caught up in these pits of cognitive dissonance.

    What's the difference, and who does that difference matter to? To Spotify, it's still a cancelled subscription and the root cause is still Joe.

      No the second is the person was going to cancel anyway and Joe provides a rather weak and pathetic way to virtue signal to a very minor political in group they are "with them" while doing something they were going to do anyway

    I haven’t told anyone in person I did, but the fact you think I did it to virtue signal says more about you than me. And if I was doing it to “grift internet points” nothing stops me from just lying. Some people do things because they genuinely believe it’s the right (or at least less bad) thing to do.

  Where you the only one. no.. Are you in an extreme minority that was likely far offset by new members... yes
