Link "Joe Rogan, comedian and host of one of the most popular podcasts in the world, is taking his show to Spotify. The Joe Rogan Experience will soon become a Spotify exclusive, meaning episodes’ full audio and video will only be available through the platform starting later this year. Up...www.resetera.com
Thread probably going to get locked like the last one.
You can still listen to Spotify exclusive podcasts on the free tier.Must have thrown him the bag. Glad the idiocy is behind a paywall now.
How hard is it for you to not listen to a podcast you have no interest in normally?
Pretty sure this was in negotiation for a bit now. He has the top personality-driven podcast in the US I believe.This got locked, that said...this is fascinating less about the piece of shit Rogan, but how the landscape of the podcast economy is changing (although I remember reading about how podcast listening went down in the beginning of the pandemic, I wonder if its spiked up now everyone's settled into either working from home or needing another voice to listen to while we all stay home panic'ed)
I keep seeing his shit on my Youtube recommendationsHow hard is it for you to not listen to a podcast you have no interest in normally?
Just hoping this will mean I have to press "Not Interested" less often.I doubt that will change. I imagine he'll still cut up pieces of his cast and put them on YouTube. Just to listen to the full shows you'll have to go to Spotify
Thread lock in 3, 2, 1
seriously didn't know Spotify had video though

Looks like there's gonna be money in those darn hills in the future as the landscape gets chopped up and people start snagging up popular podcasts for exclusivity deals as the platform wars heat up
We will probably never know.Heard on the radio they paid what like 100 mil ? That's insane if true
No.
Spotify has been working towards building an all in one platform. They already had built an ad system for people to create & upload ads, and now with Gimlet and Anchor they can better build in the podcast aspect. They've also been experimenting with video so this could be their play into it.
LOL.Imagine if Spotify took the insane amount of money they're giving him and gave it to struggling artists or burning it in a pit. Both better uses than on this turd.
Interesting with the video pivot. Apple already has their exclusive deals through Itunes radio for audio only content, I wonder if they will follow suit specifically for podcasts and as a result if our other tech gods foolishly assume they gotta be in the biz because Apple and Spotify are ("Who's ready for Amazon podcasts!")
