Joe Rogan and Spotify

No I've not read the letter, heard about it, but not read the actual thing. Not going to either, personally I don't give 2 ***** about covid 'misinformation' nor people evangelising certain aspects of the thing. I just mask up when it's required to do so and be on about my day otherwise. Never had it, none of my family have had it, don't know anyone that's had it. Guess we're doing something right eh.


I'm sorry but do you live on the moon? You don't know anyone that's had it :confused::confused:
 
On a similar vein to Rogan, I used to listen to a lot of Armchair Expert (yes that's the name, he even play on the irony), with Dax Shepard. His guest list is equally as impressive if not more. https://armchairexpertpod.com/pods?offset=1636705800926 , Obama, Tarantino, Bill Gates, Clinton, psychiatrist, doctors, sociologist, actors, musicians, athlete, comedians.

The difference here is that he is more humble in his manner and also, at the end of each episode, he has a Fact Check section which is about 15-20mins. Yes, he does the interview, records it, then when editing he and his co-host do a fact check on themselves. I mean how many podcast, or shows does that?
 
Am I the only person who had never heard of this guy up until a few months ago?
Probably yes. I first came across him on TV like 20 years ago. Then later on UFC and then 5 years ago his podcast.

I only watch his podcasts if I am interested in the guest which is rather rare these days. Since moving to Spotify I have seen around 3.

I much prefer Lex Fridman and his podcast, which funnily enough I came across on Joe’s podcast around 3 years ago :cry:
 
Don't know anyone who had covid......are we lying to fit a narrative now. :cry:
Not at all, I know of folks having it - parents of kids at my son's school for example but I dont personally 'know' anyone that's had it. Believe what you wish though, I don't care either way.
 
In EU, anyway, digital service act, making progress 20 Jan & should neuter him/spotify 20Jan
- when will Clegg pop up, to defend meta.

MEPs give green light to open negotiations with member states

Removing illegal content and preventing the spread of disinformation

The Digital Services Act (DSA) proposal defines clear responsibilities and accountability for providers of intermediary services, and in particular online platforms, such as social media and marketplaces.

The DSA establishes a “notice and action” mechanism, as well as safeguards, for the removal of illegal products, services or content online. Providers of hosting services should act on receipt of such a notice “without undue delay, taking into account the type of illegal content that is being notified and the urgency of taking action”. MEPs also included stronger safeguards to ensure notices are processed in a non-arbitrary and non-discriminatory manner and with respect for fundamental rights, including the freedom of expression

...
Additional obligations for very large platforms
Very large online platforms (VLOPs) will be subject to specific obligations due to the particular risks they pose regarding the dissemination of both illegal and harmful content. The DSA would help to tackle harmful content (which might not be illegal) and the spread of disinformation by including provisions on mandatory risk assessments, risk mitigation measures, independent audits and the transparency of so-called “recommender systems” (algorithms that determine what users see).



Am I the only person who had never heard of this guy up until a few months ago?
NO in the same boat - but
  • Podcast listeners are much more active on every social media channel (94% are active on at least one – vs 81% for the entire population)
  • Podcast listeners are more likely to follow companies and brands on social media
  • Podcast listeners are more likely to subscribe to Netflix or Amazon Prime (meaning they are less likely to be exposed to TV advertising)
  • Podcast listeners are more likely to own a smart speaker (Amazon Alexa or Google Home)
  • ...
 
So what has Joe Rogan supposedly done to receive all of this attention. I mean I’ve heard the accusations but what are the actual specifics?

He invites someone on his podcast who talks nonsense, this then triggers both sides of the echo chamber.

This creates more views and thus, more money, more interest, more fame, etc.
 
How on earth can you not know anyone that has had COVID at this point. I only knew a few people that had caught it prior to omicron but since then I reckon I could probably name about 40+ people I know that have had it.

Myself, about 20+ people I climb with, my brother, my half brother and his wife and kids. The list is huge.

You need better masks and social distancing discipline.

i work in a hospital and only personally know 5 out of our staff of 35.

The whole world is centred around the making of money including mainstream media.

Spotify didn’t exactly pay $100 million dollars because they like him, he brings traffic and what their business relies on and why we even have an industry such as advertisement.
