Ban Joe Rogan now!

[Jeff4Music]

Profiting from the distribution of deadly misinformation is immoral and shameful! I am a paying subscriber and if you don't remove him I will leave.Profiting from the distribution of deadly misinformation is immoral and shameful! Another paying subscriber leaving Spotify for a platform that supports the art of music and not Faux News. Ps. It was easy to find a way to export my playlists.

Problem? I think it's erotic

Usually I am not really the kinda guy complaining on forums. But I finally have had enough. I've been on Spotify (Premium) since 8 years now. Always loved the amount of music that is available and especially loved the UI, how you can manage your stuff in playlists etc. Something some streaming-services for some reason can't get done. Since the pandemic started Spotify became more important than ever. I basically listen to music 24/7. I am a big fan of the 60's - 80's. I recently noticed that much music from that decades now is greyed out/not available. It's getting more and more over the past 2 years. Now with the issue that Neil Young or more specifically Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, which I listen to very often, are now taken down as well, it makes me even more angry. I still cannot believe that political issues have finally made it into music streaming services too. I am german, so it angers me even more to see some of my favourite musicians taken down due to issues that honestly nobody even knew here bevore it became viral. Long story short, my choice of music on spotify over the years shrunk more and more. Either spotify lost the license for the track or some political/social issue forced them to put it down. I never wanted to switch to another music platform due to my amount of playlists and the amount of music I can listen to on Spotify. But I finally got enough. I do not see a reason to subscribe any longer for an already pretty expensice streaming service just to see how more and more of the music I usually listen to is not available any longer for right down money based decisions. Spotify needs to change their way they manage stuff or I will see no future for it. Other streaming services are already catching up pretty fast. I don't need a "Your Top Songs ****" recap or a change in the desing or UI. What I need/want is to listen to my fav. music, pay an acceptable price for it and maybe finally get my Hi-Fi quality audio (but that's just an audiophile thing). Why in the world is it so hard to just listen to your customers for once?

So you’ve just been getting off this whole time? wth. The dating scene must be tough for you Joseph Mengele types.

"Whats funny is that they've lost tons more money from Rogan fans canceling."

There is no way you can know that.  Show me the evidence please. 

[elimegrover]

No. I'm challenging bigotry. I do find his reticence to abide by the advice of medical professionals relating to a virus that has killed over 900,000 Americans to be repugnant. The higher the vaccination rate, the less the chance of it spreading. Savvy?

[elliotbaltz]

Freedom is more paramount than safety. Always has been, always will be.

[jwolfe4116]

Yes I have. My poor sodden grotto

[elimegrover]

Well, get infected in peace. Just stay away from those whom I care about, aye? Note, however, the point of this thread is the fact that Rogan is a bigot. Why are we allowing bigots a 100 million dollar platform?

[MikaelUmaN]

Tell me, do you believe men can give birth to babies?

Because if you do, then you are spreading misinformation.

And if you don't, then you are a rank A bigot and transphobe.

Regarding the virus. I hope then that you have not set your foot outside for the past 2 years. Because if you did, you participated in the spreading that killed 1 million in your country. And so you should be canceled.

[EZListner]

Anyone who labels Joe Rogan anything other than Curious have never listened to a single podcast.  

[tttaaa]

I stand with Joe!

[MiAnSel]

And yet Spotify did censor. Spotify may not have kicked Rogan out, but they did censor. We see and know now that Spotify will cave to cancel culture. So disappointing. 

[zs6_-efzwjrdd]

I expect Spotify to eventually cave to the cave-dwelling fascists - like every other weak corporation - but I will not stop trying to convince them not to.

[tab_co]

I agree.  I fully support free speech and will defend everyone's access to that fundamental right even if I disagree with them.  However, free speech presumes that it is fully representative of the truth, not fabrications, misinformation or partial truths.   I say drop ROGAN who like misinformation (COVID) and hate speech (N-word).  I would love Spotify users to support dropping Rogan in a way that will get Spotify's attention.  Vote with your feet, by moving to some other  streaming service that is ethical. . .

[zs6_-efzwjrdd]

Sorry but you're spreading misinformation now.    Maybe we should drop you?   Joe Rogan did not use the "N" word as "hate speech."   It was dumb to say it at all given the sick culture we are in but he explained how and why he used the word and in what context and how the video that was made to tar and feather him was made of snippets that were all out of context.  Meanwhile, the hate speech coming from the Left each and every day - as well as the constant use of the "N' word by non-whites - is egregious.  The public is getting very tired of the disingenuous lies of the Left and of the "rules for thee but not for me" stance that they take and eventually something is going to break and the cancel culture vultures are going to lose their power very rapidly and forcibly.

[ottov-us]

ha ha, if Fauci is so bad why did he rise to power under the Trump Administration and why did Trump give him all the power? Fauci = Trump.

[zs6_-efzwjrdd]

If "Fauci = Trump," no one on the Left would be taking the vaccine right
now. "Orange Man Bad" was your infantile mantra for 4 years, remember?

[tab_co]

Right- or left? Who cares. Truth is absolute. I respect you subtle, but nuanced idea to drop, my speech view. Hmmm, for someone espousing free speech, I think you just suggested censorship. Regardless, left vs right? they're both subject to "disingenuous lies". I take it that you believe that the capital insurrection was based on rightist's absolute truth?

[zs6_-efzwjrdd]

I'm sorry but I've no idea what you're trying to say.  Not trying to be a **bleep**, just really am not sure where this is going.

I never said censor but I did say fight the ones who are censoring and controlling.  Absolutely.  And yes, both sides are subject to lies and disingenuousness, but only one side is actively trying to tear this country down and trying to assert absolute dominance and control over the rest of us.  Most people can guess which side that is.

[charlieprobate]

Don’t bother to reply anymore, I’ve canceled Spotify over the Joe Rogan censorship and the company’s placating the cancel culture with more 💵. These groups are no different than the race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
