So, why aren’t people more upset about mainstream news putting out blathering nonsense in 2-3 minute sound bytes about the same topics almost verbatim. Instead, there is an uproar over a podcaster that releases long interviews of people across many subjects (including controversial ones). We should be encouraging more discourse like we see on Rogan’s podcast, not berating it, especially if you prefer deeper discussion without fear of backlash by “squeaky wheel” personalities like Neil Young. Keep on rocking in the free world!
I don't have a problem with Joe Rogan. I never listened to any of his podcasts. He can say what he wants any way he wants. I don't care.
I have a problem with a service that I thought was all about music, hosting talk shows -- and talk shows that are US-centric, and controversial -- because as a consequence, said service becomes involved in a myriad of controversies and serves less music.
Of course I don't control what Spotify does; I will simply need to take my business elsewhere. It's not the end of the world; but it's annoying.
Understood. Yours is a consumer choice, not a political one. I have no problem with more content, but I do have a problem with algorithms and apps pushing content to me that ignores my preferences and/or ability to customize my searches for new content. This is an implementation detail though, not an issue with content I may dislike or not agree with.
