As a tactic, what the progressives are doing makes sense to me. Progressives are ruthless people.

Since they couldn't come up with a way to destroy Joe Rogan directly, well then, what if Rogan didn't have a contract at all? Spotify is probably easy to put out of business right?

If there's no more Spotify, then there's no more contract, and then there's no more Joe Rogan. Problem solved. Now they're yelling dominoes.

I wish conservatives would get with it and target Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and Apple this way. We could easily take them down a notch or two if we actually got serious about this and war gamed about it - and then did it.

Let’s wargame this - cause I know you’ll participate with me. Let’s lay out the pertinent facts here.

Fact #1: Big Tech is comprised of five anti-conservative companies, not two. It’s Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter.

Fact #2: Google, Microsoft and Apple are advertisers on Facebook and Twitter. Microsoft and Apple advertise on Google as well.

Fact #3. Out of these five big tech companies, Microsoft is the easiest target. The phone scene isn’t nearly as ready for prime time, which makes Google and Apple harder targets.

War game: If a massive amount of conservatives actually were serious about doing more than just complaining, and got off of big tech Microsoft, that would significantly alter the entire technological scene. The obvious home would be Linux. But most importantly, it would be conservatives de-monitizing a huge advertiser for both Twitter and Facebook.

It’s two birds with one stone. It’s the domino effect. Now where can we find any conservatives who are motivated enough to “Spotify them” the way they are currently “Spotifying” Joe Rogan?

Right here with Spotify - right here - progressives are showing us exactly how we need to treat big tech. I just don’t think most people have the stomach to actually do it cause if they did they would’ve already been doing it.

Progressives are ruthless people.

Correct. Some of them do not know the difference between right and wrong. The rest do not even acknowledge that there is a right and wrong.

The stories will ramp up about Spotify collapsing, until they cave.

They’ll have to.
But it won’t do any good.

Blackstone will run the table and put Spotify out of business.

As an exmaple for standing up to The Powers That Be.

Spotify should go conservative political instead of music.

“Politify”.

Progs want to kill Rogan even if it means taking everyone down with him. These people are the scum of the earth.

More pathetic scare/intimidation tactics from Big Media

let me summarize ... “Spotify should come to its senses and ban the irresponsible lying Joe Rogan immediately before its share price drastically falls any further”

(but watch Joe Rogan’s ratings increase after this!)

Why do people need Spotify to listen to music? There are numerous other platforms.

In the same way, you don’t need Spotify to listen to Joe Rogan.

I think there should be a list of losers that nobody should listen to. Make it public, make it mean something, label them as the commie/globalist loving assholes they are.

There are more people on the right than on the left. Put your beliefs where it counts! Don’t use the bullshit line, “Shut up and sing.” Use the line, “You’ll shut up now because we’re not listening to you.” Hit them in the pocket book. Theses are craven, traitorous assholes that will use any means to get their anti freedom message across.

They started it and we’ll end it.

The corporate fascists will pull ads and music from spotify until they pay Rogan not to stream. The proper response to this is for red states to fight this fire with return fire: do now allow Big Tech fascists to conduct business in their states. If all 29 red states governors did that it would be the end of this tyranny.

Reality check. Spotify losing only a few points on the market won’t kill it.

In fact its a cheaper stock to pick up now. If Joe Rogan gains Spotify more subscribers the company will make even more money.

Also, its extremely difficult to attribute its drop based solely on Joe Rogan controversy, which really isn’t a negative. Tech stocks are all in the middle of small corrections right now this past month, which was pretty brutal for some of them..

Per the report, Spotify shares “fell %6 from Jan. 26-28. Over the same time period, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index rose 1.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.1%.”

BFD.

Shares of Neil Young, Fauci and Biden are in the toilet.
