I don't follow. Is he anti music or something? Afaik he's on Apple, Amazon, and Youtube as well. Do you not use anything related to him? I'm honestly curious for some reason.


His podcast was exclusively on Spotify for a while, for a measurable amount of money (the article is from February when that portion of the deal ended): https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/joe-rogan-renews-spoti...


Some people are intolerant and think that "they allow someone who I disagree with" is grounds to stop doing business with a service. It's a toxic attitude, but sadly common.


Spotify was paying someone who disseminated anti-vaccine misinformation. I consider that dangerous and will not support it with my money.

Being principled is not toxic.


Personally, I don't like the idea of my money supporting people who oppose vaccination, among other things.
