Re: Report: Employees threaten to strike if Spotify refuses to censor Joe Rogan
Even if you do not like joe rogan, its messed up, that they want to censor him.

How is he in any way controversial?

Maybe they do not like, how he has woken up to the lefts fantasy of that perfect world, that is not going to be a reality.

Is that what these people are moaning about?
 Quoting: Anon1234inthesky1


Biden vs teump debate spooked the elites because they have no control on that stage.

This is them attempt to find control on that stage.

Joe fucked up

Never sell out

You fucking liberals are so fucking afraid of the world seeing the proof that biden is the worst choice in a century.

Fuck you for breaking our nation over being ignorant fucks.

Your small minded ideas and lack of future thinking proves you have iq that are far below avg.

Good luck sub 100s. Your plot in life is to be brainwashed and manipulated as sheep to be sheered or cattle to the slaughter being used as useful idiots.

Re: Report: Employees threaten to strike if Spotify refuses to censor Joe Rogan
"It’s what's being called the $100 million headache.

UFC color commentator and podcasting deity Joe Rogan signed an exclusive multi-year deal with Spotify earlier this year, but it seems not everyone associated with the digital streaming service wants to be part of the “Experience.”

Despite several internal meetings, select staffers were reportedly dissatisfied with the way senior management responded to Rogan’s controversial material, which prior to finding its way to Spotify, aired exclusively on the longtime funnyman’s YouTube channel."

"Digital Music News reports:

Spotify employees were demanding direct editorial oversight over the recently-acquired Joe Rogan Experience podcast. That would include the ability to directly edit or remove sections of upcoming interviews, or block the uploading of episodes deemed problematic. The employees also demanded the ability to add trigger warnings, corrections, and references to fact-checked articles on topics discussed by Rogan in the course of his multi-hour discussions."

This doesn’t make sense and shouldn’t be so newsworthy. Why? Because his deal is DONE and has been done. Employees, in New York mind you, not their HQ in Sweden, are threatening to walk out if they can’t omit or edit portions of his program? What’s THAT about? Why do they WANT to DO THAT so badly as to leave their jobs? And what are their jobs? Are they interns/ whiny entitled SJWs? Employees, not executives? This indicates they’re lower level employees of Spotify? The deal is DONE. There’s no threat to his $....A NON-STORY.

The only possible interesting piece to find out is WHO are these employees making these demands, and more interesting would be WHY DO THEY WANT TO have editing control?

Re: Report: Employees threaten to strike if Spotify refuses to censor Joe Rogan
I worked at Spotify from the beginning and left just before it floated - the atmosphere in the office was great and all viewpoints were heard. There was a time when Spotify did not censor tracks - they merely put warnings on it - if you dont want to listen - dont, that was your choice.

Then the American managers came....

I have listened to Joe Rogan. I don't find him controversial at all. The only people who do are college brainwashed SJW Antifa/BLM snowflakes. That's who Spotify apparently has employed to work for them by the looks of it.

Re: Report: Employees threaten to strike if Spotify refuses to censor Joe Rogan
Fuck Spotify, and fuck Roe Jogan. They're both politically correct controlled opposition, the latter being more of ane xample than the former. You cant log into spotify eithout being bombarded with black propaganda, but this is nothing new and has been going on since well before twenty sixteen election. I'm actually thankful for spotifies politically charged bullshit ads, like rap caviar or michelle obamas podcast,fuck them all. I just exit tbe program on my computer when tbe ads pop up or I turn off the app on my phone. That wat I can skip the ads without paying that leftist company a single penny. Fuck them, its high time we start taking food off their tables. Its high time we start filing class action lawsuits against big corporations that think they can squash the american way. We'll squelch them using their own methods. Tit for tat, eye for eye, and tooth for bloody tooth.

I don't know what Joe was thinking signing up for the 100 million golden handcuffs deal with a mainstream tech platform. All the mainstream tech platforms are run by far leftist globalist communist new world order types that are censorship happy. Joe must of been blinded by the dollar signs because if he wasn't he would know he would have no autonomy over his own show.

Re: Report: Employees threaten to strike if Spotify refuses to censor Joe Rogan
why would they censor joe rogan??

hes pretty vanilla and stays neutral on issues?

dont get it..

like a few of podcasts when he has people like graham hancock and those types of guests

is rogan considered cutting edge these days that he would need censoring??

wow..thats some sensitive listeners out there..

his topics are vanilla
 Quoting: Grove Street


I don't think they liked him having Alex Jones on his show nor did they especially like Joe talking about the obvious biological differences between men and women when it comes to sports like boxing. We are supposed to pretend there are no differences for the sake of trans people who want to compete in women's sports despite being born a biological male and have natural physical advantage over people born biological females. We are supposed to pretend it doesn't exist and that is totally fair to have a biological born male beat the hell out of a biological born female in a boxing ring.

At this point we are so beyond 'selective enforcement' of laws none of that matters. As a matter of fact the whole point of the protests is to expand 'selective enforcement' if you listen to the meaning behind the platitudes.

I think Joe got a little greedy. He should have realized that his podcast freedom would eventually be limited at Spotify. Do you think that Joe could convert and be a Larry King-type interviewer?
