I read somewhere that one reason for this decision (among many I'm sure) is that he's finally gotten tired of the shitty youtube comments.
Doubtful, he's been saying for years he doesn't read comments.

..and he gets demonetized for itHe pretty much does already...
Because as we all know people with a different world view from us should never be humanized, or spoken to in general.I can see him not reading the comments because he knows they are shitty
honestly it’s the case for most YouTube videos but the comment section under his podcasts consist of the dumbest incels in the country
I would’ve said it probably bothers him but he willingly has Gavin McInnes on his show to tell us that half the Muslim world is inbred so now that I think of it he absolutely does not care about that dumbass comment section because he himself isn’t all that bright for allowing that on his show
people need to hold him more responsible when he gives men like that a platform, it’s irresponsible....it can’t just be “well he’s a comedian having an open conversation with his friends”
that’s my little rant for the morning. And don’t get me wrong, I do like Rogan’s podcast most of the time. All points of view don’t need to be represented on there though, especially when it’s ridiculous rhetoric that’s more or less allowed to spread unchecked. I’d love for him to be able to do everything he wanted but we are at a point where he legitimately influences people and he is idolized by many. He himself says it’s stupid to prop him up. So when he gives guys who say Sandy Hook wasn’t real a platform it’s disgusting to me because he’s then joking around with the guy for hours and making him appear in a good light for his millions of viewers, half of which hang on Rogans approval/validation for pretty much everything. Just my 2 cents.
Edit: yup, and just like that I click a JRE clip from a recent podcast and the comment section is rampant anti-semitism and people complaining about youtube “censorship” of dumbass conspiracies (which is hilarious because I bet 75% identify as libertarian yet they want the government to interfere with a private company)

I think that's a problem with society not a problem with the show.If you want to call harassing the parents of a school shooting or blatant racism “a different worldview” then by all means, go off king
they can be spoken to, they just shouldn’t be platformed for millions to listen to. Especially when a decent chunk of those millions take everything said on the show as gospel

Gaethje and Trevor Wittman are on yesterday's podcast. I have not listened yet.
I have, as anyone could guess it’s a good one for us MMA junkies
I pay for Spotify for music and love it, so this isn't a big deal to me. However, they have at least one major flaw with their podcast section. There is no way to mark all episodes as played. It's a pretty basic feature, so I expect they will add it, but JRE is coming up on 1500 episodes and a bunch of other podcasts I listen to have hundreds as well. It would make it so much easier to organize, but I'm not going through 1 by 1 to mark them all as played. So I'll keep using my other podcast app until that happens. Once it happens, it will be great to have music and podcasts in one spot.
I say good for Joe, though. f*** Youtube for their censorship. JRE will still be free and he's just licensing the show to Spotify. They didn't buy it, so Joe will still be free to have whoever he wants on and say what he wants. It's still going to be a massive show so I don't see them losing any guests, especially since the clips will still be on YouTube.
I just hope this doesn't start an exclusive war between Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, whatever else is out there or else there will be a lot of podcasts I stop listening to. Although, it probably will just like Netflix, Amazon, etc. Oh well, I guess that's the world we live in now and there will be no shortage of content to listen to.
You have to have a Spotify account, but you can have the free version. I guess the unknown (at least to me) is how the ads will work on the free version. Is Spotify just going to take a cut of what Joe already does? Or are they going to add extra ads throughout the show? I'd guess it is closer to the former than the later. Joe has always been very anti breaking up the show with ads.You won't need a sub to listen to his podcasts, correct?

You're going to question his integrity because you have to change which free platform you use to listen to his show? Seems...harsh.I think Joe Rogan is clearly a kind hearted person that tries to do right by others.
At the same time I think he lacks artistic and intellectual integrity to the point where he ends up pursuing and justifying personal interests to a manipulative and inflammatory degree, and I believe in the end, his abandonment of the YouTube battleground, in favor of a fat check, will bear out that he maybe wasn't always, but is certainly now, more interested in a gravy train, than a platform.

I don't see why people are surprised by this. He's been railing against Youtube censorship for a long time now and how it sucks there are no alternatives. Well, now Spotify has offered him an alternative and he took it. Seems to track.
I guess maybe the dollar figure is surprising, but he's making a f***ton of money from his podcast already. It's just more out in the open now.
