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.
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
Ah, the good people of Lemmy, with their Google and Spotify accounts fighting their part against the corrupted establishment. Heavily downvoting any righteous action that would make sense. There’s, atm, 26 people supporting Joe Rogan because they haven’t figured out how to look any further than Spotify. Which besides having Rogan on a pedastal are ripping off artists, the independent ones too. Those are the self-proclaimed leftist tech-nerds that are making this site happen!
Anyone complaining about this that still has a Spotify account needs to stfu.

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.

On the surface you might be, but your “just listening” to music enables the rise of fascism.
