I am concerned about the periodic attacks on Spotify, while the elephant in the room, YouTube, escapes unfettered. Everything from artist royalties to hosting the Joe Rogan show.
And as it happens, Spotify isn't a FAANG or a US company, so isn't that convenient?
Yeah, it ads to a pattern of zero morals/ethics/standards. As someone whose mother was harassed for wearing a mask (she was dying of cancer during COVID) I will forever hate Spotify and Joe Rogan. And I'm a hippie live and let type. But I actively hate those two.
But enjoy your fake Spotify created muzak and algo optimized to the lowest royalty payout not your music tastes all while supporting Joe boy (leader of the last 250 comics).
Spotify paid Joe Rogan how much? Spotify pushed Joe Rogan as the shit. Spotify owns the Joe Rogan hate. Youtube didn't do all that. Youtube didn't make Joe Rogan their mascot, Spotify did. If I open Spotify to this day there's a huge block in the middle of my music for their guy Joe Rogan. You want me to just ignore that because Youtube exists? F' off with that bs.
You don't get to dictate my response to them. My mom broke down in tears multiple times, was afraid to go out shopping. The stores here had to make special shopping times for people to feel safe to go shopping. While she way dying of cancer. Fuck Spotify and their little mascot and fuck anyone that want's to pretend making someone your maskot and promoting them first thing on your app is somehow the same as allowing that person to have any content on your platform and I either have to criticize both or none.
They’re pointing out the hypocrisy and it’s a solid point.
The correct challenge to this “Joe fogan” person is it seems Spotify spent a lot of money on an exclusive contract. That’s different to alllowing someone to use your platform. YouTube didn’t pay him millions to be on their platform, at least from what I can tell.
What hypocrisy? When did Youtube make Joe Rogan their mascot? If I open Youtube, no Joe Rogan. If I open Spotify, right in the middle of my music is the asshole Joe Rogan. Fuck Spotify. Spotify MADE him their guy, but I'm the asshole for noticing that? Noticing something they paid 250 million dollars for?
