Should Joe Rogan be pulled from Spotify?

Ree Zen February 06, 2022 at 18:53 1250 views 4 comments
Joe Rogan has a few issues going on these days:
The grumblings started when he expressed his views on the pandemic,
a recent controversial interview with Jordan Peterson;
and now he is on video using racial slurs. Joe Rogan has issued video apologies. I'm not asking you to predict what Spotify will do. I'm asking what would you do if you were in charge of Spotify.

I said no. It's just Joe being Joe, trying to be dangerous, being cocky.

But with his massive audience, he has to understand that the-powers-that-be won't allow him to upset the status quo, the methodological social order.

They probably deserve each other, but it's just a business decision. (Moved this to the lounge by the way as it's more of a casual conversational type OP than anything of substance).

Dwayne the Rock Johnson had criticized Joe Rogan yesterday for racism and It turns out the Rock's got a racially charged video of his own (anti-Asian). https://www.redvoicemedia.com/2022/02/dwayne-the-rock-johnson-faces-massive-backlash-over-resurfaced-pedo-tranny-asian-hate-content-videos/.

I think I smell what the Rock was cooking.

Fuck him. In the short term, the p-o-s is probably 'good for business' ...
