The comedian and podcaster used his huge platform to spread more COVID disinformation, talk up Alex Jones and Elon Musk, and reveal an odd obsession with gay sex.
This is the sort of thing where the only thing you can possibly be getting from it is a sense of moral superiority, since you aren’t actually making things better even if you were more persuasive (because you’d still be acting apart from any sort of organized boycott), and you are not even being persuasive.
Honestly I started off on your side but then I realized that the other people here are making valid points.
You’re coming across as a solid dickhead.
I agree that since Spotify is sponsoring Joe Rogan that using spotify means in some part you are sponsoring Joe Rogan.
You might be 100% right on that, I might be 100% right on that, but if we are dicks to the people we’re talking to about it they’re going to be against us because of our attitude regardless of whether we are right or not.
Spotify isn’t the best platform anymore and does other evil stuff too, like working towards paying even less to the artists.
If the stunt they pulled with Rogan isn’t convincing you to never give them money again, you might be part of the problem.
I agree to an extent, spotify and Rogan suck but there are far worse enablers of the rise of fascism. TBH it is more culture war bullshit he is guilty of and spreading absolute stupidity.
But also America doesnt do a lot to protect itself from fascism so whynwould I help america out by inconveniencing myself
Anyone complaining about this that still has a Spotify account needs to stfu.

Hexbear users (with freaking Castro avatars) complaining about bigotry … 🤡
Yeah sure just make sure you post it on your twitter account too 🙄
Consumer ethics is a diversion from systemic critique of the platforms enabling this shit
Except when you pay to keep bigots platformed. But I’m sure meat eating “animal lovers” share your opinion.

Whatever you have to tell yourself so you think you’re correct.
No, actually that’s what you’re doing. Not making points, but getting off on your own god complex via snide, unhelpful remarks. Neat! 👍

Ohhhh, you’re one of those people. Always fun to spot in the wild
Yes, unironically
Anyone paying taxes in the US can stfu about the genocide of Palestinians.
Wow this is easy AND fun!
Let me know how your audit from Spotify goes.
You’re right this was fun and easy, moron.

It appears you have a stronger moral compass then 26 other people whose ear pleasure is more important to them.
Not a fan of apple either but supposedly they pay better then Spotify. I just buy music from the artists now.
I pirate what I want from Netflix at this point. Sweet tooth is worth a watch.

Nah the benefits outweigh the costs, they support an unfunny moron and I get all the music I want forever.
Google Music is better.
It wasnt and I generally dont like using google where possible.

Whats the problem I am part of?
The rise of fascism
Im just listening to music
On the surface you might be, but your “just listening” to music enables the rise of fascism.
