It’s incredible what they are doing trying to takedown a Bernie bro. It’s been eye opening, this past week I’ve learned the Young made vile homophonic statements and Joni Mitchell wore blackface in the pastI get a giggle out of the the hard lefties falling all over themselves foaming at the mouth wanting Rogan ruined now. Great times.
Huh?It’s incredible what they are doing trying to takedown a Bernie bro. It’s been eye opening, this past week I’ve learned the Young made vile homophonic statements and Joni Mitchell wore blackface in the past
It really is amazing to watch. It’s getting serious now, apparently Joni Mitchell is pulling her whole catalog in protest. There’s goes my gym pump mix.I get a giggle out of the the hard lefties falling all over themselves foaming at the mouth wanting Rogan ruined now. Great times.

This is getting out of control, Joni AND Nils?!?!?
I know a lot about many things.Then why you posting here? You seem to know a lot about a guy you don't care about?
Not since they made that choice, since the beginning of the year and the market tanked.I’d prefer to just not listen to Rogan despite whatever he or his guests are saying and while jokes are be made about Young here - the truth is Spotify is losing more out of this than everyone to the tune of 4 billion in market value since they made that choice.
I know that YouTube will add a disclaimer for controversial videos, and they'll pull videos (and/or ban users) for crossing certain lines of truthiness.It's a podcast. Isn't it assumed to be more opinion than facts? (and I don't agree with a lot of Rogan's views)
Also, how is this different than something like YouTube?
That article is misleading in that it tries to have the reader see causation between the two events - but the truth is most stocks had similar drops during that time.I’d prefer to just not listen to Rogan despite whatever he or his guests are saying and while jokes are be made about Young here - the truth is Spotify is losing more out of this than everyone to the tune of 4 billion in market value since they made that choice.
massraider said:Spotify lost $4 billion in market value this week after rock icon Neil Young called out the company for allowing comedian Joe Rogan to use its service to spread misinformation about the COVID vaccine on his popular podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
As of Friday, Jan. 28, shares of Spotify were down about 12% from where they closed last week, according to data from Nasdaq. The hashtags #DeleteSpotify and #CancelSpotify also gained traction on social media, with many websites offering step-by-step instructions for users to remove the app from their devices.
Not Apple. Had a killer earnings report.Lol...so dumb. The entire tech market dropped by that amount. Has literally nothing to do with this.
Sorry - my numbers were incorrect - it was 4 billion from the close of the prior week. From January 26 through January 28, Spotify has lost $2.1 billion in value, with shares dropping 6%.jamny said:Not since they made that choice, since the beginning of the year and the market tanked.
To say the Neil Young news had nothing to do with this is disingenuous at best. Did it account for the entire 6% drop? Probably not but it definitely contributed to it. Time will tell though if other artists drop or subscriptions decrease.Lol...so dumb. The entire tech market dropped by that amount. Has literally nothing to do with this.
The recent stock action isn't based on actual subscription numbers. We'll see what they are when they announce earnings. Right now, it's the overall market and negative publicity. Wont mean anything if subs remain unchanged.Sorry - my numbers were incorrect - it was 4 billion from the close of the prior week. From January 26 through January 28, Spotify has lost $2.1 billion in value, with shares dropping 6%.
Yes you can argue the market as a whole was down but the Neil Young news definitely helped this drop.

Neil Young's past comments about homosexuals and Aids were pretty terrible. Joni Mitchell had a whole gimmick where she appeared as a male, black pimp.Alex P Keaton said:Huh?
Barry Manilow also. Looks like they made it.This is getting out of control, Joni AND Nils?!?!?![]()
I initially assumed this was a Spinal Tap band member and went looking for the link to the Onion or Babylon Bee.FairWarning said:I couldn’t name a Nils Lofgrin song. It’s a great career move so somehow stay relevant 40 years after playing with Springsteen.
Socially I probably lean slightly left, economically—I lean slightly right—and I can tell you that I have no desire to see Rogan ruined. I just enjoyed his podcast a lot better when it focused on a diversity of guests that were interesting outside of the world of politics. The last couple of years—I just feel drowned in politics and I used to love that his podcast was an interesting way to get a 2-3 hour relief from those politics every now and then. I felt like he was the king of the “non” or “slightly” political world—and now his podcast just seems like a political echo chamber of anti-California, anti-covid stuff over and over again. I’m clearly not the only one who feels this way. My guess is that he’s probably losing viewers/listeners that used to listen to him because he was the answer to an overtly political world—and he’s probably replacing them with people who lean right that have an insatiable desire to entrench themselves in politics.I get a giggle out of the the hard lefties falling all over themselves foaming at the mouth wanting Rogan ruined now.

Listening to Rogan on like 2.5x speed helps. But his show has gotten really boring since the pandy. He ####ed up bad when he got it and saying he was on horse paste. He keeps his mouth shut there and none of this happens.

Thats not all he was on and “horse paste” or ivermectin has been prescribed for like 100 years for other things besides when it is administered as a horse tranquilizer. It’s important to hear the whole message and not just focus on one word and have a trigger party.
This is kinda how the whole thing with CNN started which led to Rogan having Sanjay Gupta on which lead to a further ramp up of Rogan v CNN which has, in my opinion, lead us down the road to the spot we are at today.It was beyond foolish to come out with the fact he was taking a common horse medicine. Better?
As a PR move it was indefensible. Had to know it would backfire.
One easy to see downside of this is getting guests will be vastly more difficult.
I mean sure, but it’s like saying water is for horses so we shouldnt drink it….It was beyond foolish to come out with the fact he was taking a common horse medicine. Better?

Chucky's in Love is Rickey Lee Jones not Joni Mitchell - but it's a good response to what's going on. I don't agree with everything he says but his positions are defensible.Rogan responds to Neil Young and Joni Mitchell asking their stuff to be removed from Spotify platform
I agree with everything except that I’m curious to which stance that Joe Rogan has that’s controversial or that you disagree with?This is kinda how the whole thing with CNN started which led to Rogan having Sanjay Gupta on which lead to a further ramp up of Rogan v CNN which has, in my opinion, lead us down the road to the spot we are at today.
Rogan hasn't had any issues I can see getting guests. 11 million people listen to his podcast. I don't care who you are, that kinda pub isn't just sitting out there for everybody.
Not saying I agree with Joe on his stance either. I don't but doesn't mean I don't listen to him and enjoy his podcasts. If you don't want to listen to his guest du jour, don't. It's not hard to not hit the play/skip button.

I'm a vax guy and don't have a problem saying everyone should get it. When it comes to kids, 5 and under, no but all the rest, go ahead and get the shot. That's my major veer off what Joe is saying. I'm all for investigating alternative treatments, anything to stick a fork in this thing but I don't think it's ever going to be a one size fits all solution. Vaccinations get us as close to that as possible IMO.I agree with everything except that I’m curious to which stance that Joe Rogan has that’s controversial or that you disagree with?

The 200m Spotify deal also brought a magnifying glass on anything he did. But I think all this publicity is awesome for him and think he would hit the moon if Spotify dumped him.
Rogan speaks and it goes up double the amount it goes down when Neil and Joni tantrum……shocker.Spotify stock up over 12% today so no more entertainers pulling their stuff? Joking of course
They must have fired Rogan...as we've learned, this is the only topic that moves stock prices.Spotify stock up over 12% today so no more entertainers pulling their stuff? Joking of course
- where he has usually lost me is in the kind of mastery narcissism common to people immersed in body disciplines - extreme fighting & fitness, generally. were i to have been born a generation later, i would still hope to be immune to the belief that finding the "perfect" distilled beverage, cosplay, exercise regimen, shoe, body art, adventure, martial art, food/travel experience or other form of confabulatory identity experience will convert my selfishness into transcendence.
nice turn-o'-phrase yo'sef - ima lift that emphatic-man and put it u against "empathic" for pathetic purposes...You turn a phrase very nicely. Always a pleasure to read. Captures my contempt of the "emphatic-man and his hooting disciples" phenomenon.
I will add that mastery narcissism inevitably meets its nemesis in the form of late-middle-age, and Rogan is nearing that precipice. Good luck mastering that ish. Maybe he will be the first.
This is a great point, one that I had considered before. I wonder how much of Rogan's narcissistic "workout bro" persona is manifested in his dalliance with Covidian pseudoscience.wikkidpissah said:- where he has usually lost me is in the kind of mastery narcissism common to people immersed in body disciplines - extreme fighting & fitness, generally. were i to have been born a generation later, i would still hope to be immune to the belief that finding the "perfect" distilled beverage, cosplay, exercise regimen, shoe, body art, adventure, martial art, food/travel experience or other form of confabulatory identity experience will convert my selfishness into transcendence. nonetheless, the pursuit is a clusterhug of inanity from my generational perspective (though i will stipulate that my gen initiated a lot of it). in Rogan's "building a perfect beast" of himself, he has embraced manymanymany radical views regarding health, physical and mental, over the decades which, while an even less abiding religion than the ones he seeks to replace, at least gives him some bonafides when discussing the frontiers of health, unlike some of the yobbos and yahoos out there, including some of his guests.
