Rogan’s podcast reaches an estimated 11 million people per episode, making it Spotify’s most popular show. The latest controversy is a significant test for Spotify, which reportedly spent more than $100 million in 2020 to bring Rogan’s show to the streaming service from YouTube. Medical professionals have also raised concerns about Rogan’s platforming of Covid-19 misinformation. Joni Mitchell, Dave Crosby and Stephen Sills are among a growing list of artists who have followed Young’s lead and requested their content be removed. Young has been joined by a number of musicians. Last month, rock star Neil Young asked Spotify to remove his music from the platform as a protest over the airing of false information about Covid-19 vaccines on the Joe Rogan Experience.
TangentĪs of April, Spotify had removed more than 40 episodes of Rogan’s podcasts, including one with far-right activists Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos and Gavin Mcinnes, since its 2020 deal with Rogan to host his podcast. Joe Rogan and Spotify did not immediately respond to a Forbes request for comment.
