I was a little disappointed in Rogan. I know he was under pressure to cave. It would have made a far more impressive stand if SPotify had stood with Rogan-I know they did sort of, but make a big splash of it. Thought that a bunch of has been rockers- I don't know anyone who listened to a Young, Nash, or Mitchell song in...years. I can't think the revenue stream is impressive from them. They weren't really A-list when they were in their prime (Don't tell them that). An arm-in-arm statement with Rogan that "we are going to do whatever we want to do and if you don't like it take your ears on down the road...." Rogan's audience would have doubled. Instead we get this limp-wristed pandering "disclaimer and Rogan apolgizes for ruffling feathers????? A fu*k off would have served them much better IMO. That may be the oilfield in me coming out. Cheers
I did..some of it anyway. I still wish he'd thrown it back in their face. Perhaps that's not realistic,but all Rogan has been doing is present contrarian points of view that aren't sanctioned by the MSM or gubbamint. WHen is that wrong????? Whatever happened to tolerating dissenting opinions in this country? It is sort of the same fight you fought with Linkedin, the contrarian points of view. "Conform or be cast out seems to be the message." Geddy Lee never knew how prophetic those words would become. Cheers
Oh DRW, I'm going to have to disagree with you today. Spotify has already started to cave to the mob. Also, Rogan's statement was a sop to the mob. The crazy part to me is the people complaining don't listen to Rogan anyway. It's like a cattleman being criticized by a bunch of vegans......why should he care?
So here's my prediction. Rogan will start to interview basket weavers and hula hoop experts. He'll stay away from the hot button interviews. But that will only encourage the mob.
Spotify will continue to back peddle in the face of more artists abandoning ship. Plus, Larry Fink will whisper in David Eks ear that Blackrock expects a return on their investment in Spotify, so make this Rogan problem go away.
Rogan will depart from Spotify and do one of the following:
A. Join the Daily Wire and become part of their talent pool.
B. Team up with Elon to create their own media empire
C. Set himself up as 501(c)3 non-profit so he has no one to report to and he and Jamie carry on

If you watch the video, I have a different take. He did what he had to and said what he needed to but truly it is what he didn’t say that I heard.

Agree. But he wasn’t talking to us. He was talking to the 70% that don’t listen.

I would not call this an apology. I do call it brilliant. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZYQ_nDJi6G/?utm_medium=share_sheet
