I really doubt that. Many of the episodes that were removed were fellow comedians like Theo Von and Tom Segura who are in Joe Rogan's peer group.


Numerous affected guests have made videos and spoken about it. Only Rogan and Spotify know why.

We get to find out if Rogan actually has principles or if he just talks a good game. I'm hoping he's not a sellout and this situation results in his move to some decentralized platform. 80% of his audience will follow, and the ones he lost to YouTube will come back.

It'd be awesome if he dragged all his podcaster buddies along with him, and the comics and musicians followed.

Uninstalled Spotify, guess no more jre podcast until Joe moves. If he doesn't, I'm not interested in whatever kind of person sells out like that after taking such a powerful stand on censorship.

What platform? Why do you need a platform? Podcasts were already 100% open. No platform necessary.
