Looking through the deleted episodes, most of them aren't even the scientists and pundits in opposition to globalist narratives. They're comedians, actors, and musicians. I am clearly out of the loop. Why would Spotify remove episodes with Kevin Smith and Brian Posehn? I love both of these comedians/writers, but they're largely in-line with Spotify's neoliberal viewpoints, are they not?



Just going off the list, it seems pretty likely that at least some of the guests requested Spotify to remove the episodes.


Yeah, this to me looks more like "a lot of people disavow their past association with Rogan" than Spotify censoring anything.


I doubt Michael Malice and Ari Shaffir requested their episode be removed. Also, it's unlikely that such a concerted effort would take place within days by a large number of Joe's guests.


interesting guess, but it can only be part of the story if its true at all. a lot of those people are Joe's best friends that would more likely go down in flames than abandon him (ari, bert, tom, bill).

a more likely angle is some intermediary like publishers or managers are making decisions through contracts or deals.


Many of the "deleted" guests still have other episodes that are up, so it's definitely not that.

That's pretty pathetic if you ask me. Did they not express viewpoints on Joe Rogan they wanted the world to hear? Pulling down their own episodes also makes it appear that they were spreading misinformation.


Idk what everyone here is talking about Joe said on insta he removed the episodes himself because he said the Nword in them


He said the nword in 70 episodes?


Did we all miss the part where Rogan talked about the different racially-related comments he made on these episodes earlier today? Doesn't matter who the guest is, an N-bomb can be dropped at any time.


I would guess it's because Rogan said something a bit racist or offensive in those episodes.
