“While I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform, I realize some will want more,” Ek told his employees. Conservative video platform Rumble offered to match the $100 million offer – but Rogan turned it down.ĭaniel Ek has also sent internal letters to Spotify staffers discussing the situation.
So far, Rogan has said he is sticking with Spotify because they’ve stuck by him. The multi-year deal sees Spotify as the home of the Joe Rogan Experience.
That’s $100 million more than previously reported. News also broke this week that the deal Spotify signed with Joe Rogan is worth $200 million. SPOT shares have plunged about 59% since hitting record highs just a year ago. Spotify’s Chief Content Officer Dawn Ostroff told advertisers at a conference last week that the event has been a “real learning experience” for the audio streaming service. Young, who railed against Rogan for spreading COVID misinformation, personally appealed to Spotify’s employees, telling them to leave before the organization “eats up their soul.” Since then, several musicians like Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills, and Nash and other content creators like India Arie have cut ties with the platform. The Wall Street panic follows a stare-down with Neil Young, who demanded that his music be removed from the platform if Joe Rogan remained. In total, Spotify has yanked 113 separate episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, raising the specter of further unannounced deletions. The scare follows the removal of 70 podcast episodes, which Digital Music News first reported earlier this month. Spotify has not commented on the unavailability. The podcast is still available on Spotify for streaming, but it was briefly unavailable this afternoon.
