Joe Rogan and Spotify
- Thread starter antijoke
- Start date
What a massive ******* he is. He is living proof that we don't live in a meritocracy.
I had a feeling that it must have been years ago.
The fact that he has apologised about the covid stuff tells you a lot about his character. He definitely doesn't need the money.
Yeah but the Reddit nerds know they'll get upvotes if they can find a video which confirms a current popular belief
People like this guy just lap it up without ever listening to the podcast for themselves LOL. As if a 20+ year old clip is indicative of the current content of the most popular podcast on Earth

You make a good point. I think all media sites/methods should be printing links to where they are getting information from. Rogan could them in the show notes, as well as putting a general starter message saying that these are just opinions of the people involved and that research should be done.
I think there is a general problem with the media these days that most of it appears to be opinion based. Because any site will make a claim yet its rarely backed up with where they got the information from. So it comes down to the integrity of the platform in the eyes of the viewer. I think it would benefit everyone for whatever news story or opinion is being distributed.

He does actually do some good stuff/interviews with credible and interesting people. Just needs to tone down the bull/misinformation/clearly dodgy opinion.
I used to listen to Joe a fair bit pre-pandemic but haven't been able to stand his shows really over the past two years.
With podcasts in general I think there needs to be more done to apply some standards to the information provided that's mixed in with host/guest's personal opinions.

They're not a source of information, they aren't being touted as such, it's entertainment. I don't remember watching UFO documentaries on the Discovery channel and them being touted as factual, it's just entertainment, you take it with a pinch of salt.
There is a fine line - I'm personally a big believer in the so called 10th man rule - but there needs to be some rational there as well. Sometimes what everyone has been convinced is fact and has taken on a life of its own through being repeated and people are harshly put down for questioning has turned out to be utterly untrue.

Most people are idiots though, they believe everything they read on the internet or watch on TV. It's why bleach has a do not drink warning on it.
But you entire viewpoint is stupidly contradictory.
According to you, Spotify (and by extension any other business), should have no right to have a counter opinion on anything or prevent people from using their property to host things they do not agree with.
Spotify cannot "Cancel" Joe Rogan. He is a person, who can talk as much **** as he wants within the law. He does not and should not have the right to do this wherever he pleases, without consequence or question though.

I sometimes think it's quite entertaining to listen to a good bit of trashy conspiracy. It's almost like you're listening in to some whacky radio station in the AM:s when the nutjobs and crazies call in. Joe Rogan has this vibe, where it's a case of roll your eyes and listen to some fiction, or sometimes he has some good guests on.
I encourage people to have a counter opinion, I didn't agree with the podcasts that are so vehemently opposed either, I just turned them off and listened to the one's I did enjoy. I didn't feel the need to shriek in outrage because Joe Rogan had a guest on with questionable opinions though, you want to start censoring people on the internet with questionable opinions? Good luck man
I'm a massive Joni Mitchell fan. For her music though, I couldn't give a flying **** what she thinks about Joe Rogan, and if I want to listen to her her music I'll pop a CD in and press play.
Who said I want to censor anyone? That is irrelevant. I don't own a music/podcast streaming service or social network.
Do I believe in a businesses right to decide who uses their property etc/their right to express their opinion on someone else's opinion or work? Absolutely.
I think your line of thinking is far more dangerous and authoritarian.
That private companies shouldn't perhaps censor based on blue haired Twitter outrage? That's essentially my opinion. Everytime I see someone comment on Facebook negatively about Joe Rogan I'll check their profile out and it's always some 50+ year old bloke who looks like he's given up on life and wants to drag the rest of the world down with him, like their wife has bought their clothes for the past 25 years, so that probably influences my opinion too
does he have a significant worldwide following or it's usa (exported) humour - w'ere concerened by the chinese&russians but, maybe they're not the enemy to our culture and ICU occupancy.
- recommendations for his best work on youtube ?.
Equally not sure if theroux like cordon is now more popular in the usa - theroux's self-parody personna - now, he's become like Baronne-coen look alike.
