Joe Rogan’s podcast being exclusive to Spotify is the worst thing he could have possibly done

Considering the fact that Joe didn't want to originally ever "sell out", I'm sure he weighed the pros and cons of it.

Sounds like $100M was a fair price. Idunno how much he made off of YouTube, but that $100 M isn't chump change.

He made around 30 million a year on YouTube and iTunes

I've heard that too. But also that the editing was unforeseen to Rogan. IDK how accurate those stories are, but they're not that uncommon. Start over at a new place and it turns into North Korea, while the prospect was nice.

Yep 2013 is when Rogan went to Youtube so no shit thats not surprising when you started watching and yet Rogan was able to survive without you years prior. You're acting like the podcast has to have xxx amount of viewers. It's a podcast with virtually no staff besides Jamie. It's not the Tonight Show where he has immense pressure for ratings or they will fire him.

I didn’t start watching him on youtube until like 2015. I didn’t even know there was a video version of the podcast for the longest time.

I am criticizing Joe, but it is a legitimate criticism. I’m not just “jealous he made $100m for the deal” or whatever bullshit fantasy Joe nuthuggers come up with. But the most important question is: do you still watch Joe’s podcast on Spotify?

Does it matter if I listen? He got paid, can always leave after, and Spotifys stock shot through the roof. The same thing happened with old Howard fans, they expect him to keep the same show that they first heard. It’s okay not to listen to him anymore, it’s okay to grow out of a show. It clearly is not the worst thing he has ever done, as he made a shit ton of money off it.

I still listen to the show like I always have: when I see a guest I like, I will listen. I have Spotify already for the music so it’s no big deal

He was having issues as well with YouTube demonitising and taking down his videos.
 
I've never watched or listened to one of his full podcasts but I use to watch clips on YouTube all the time
 
Spotify is awesome, it’s cheap, and I listen there. I listen in car but you can watch also. Good for him, 100m makes him the highest paid podcaster ever.

He made the claim that the LA homeless problem and Californias excessive lockdown are reason he left lol. Dude lived in a gated community no idea how homeless people where a problem.

The reality is when he Sold out to Spotify they where gonna give him a big fat check. If he stayed in California he would have been taxed on it. So he went to Texas to avoid that. He’s obviously gonna say somethin else though. Like how he loves the Free thinking views of Texas and blah blah

Tbf one literally can't go to a gas station in most SoCal cities without multiple bums approaching


Its wild.
 
I dont understand why anyone bitches about spotify. Its the same show. Joe got paid, good for him. Spotify chose not to import some of the more controversial older shows, big deal. I've always treated Rogans show based on the guest, if its someone i find interesting i listen, if not i dont. Why does this bother people?
 
Once it left YouTube I stopped caring.

Allegedly he signed a 100 million dollar contract. He pretty much cashed out of needing to work.

That isn't $100 million upfront. It's an earnout over a certain period of years. There are performance metrics tied to getting the full $100 million.

If he got $100 million and didn't have to work for it, why not just rinse and repeat?
 
I agree, it's at least mildly annoying to change my routine to listen to her now

Interesting that my phone auto corrected jre to her
