Spotify will end up paying Joe Rogan $100 Million to break his contract. Joe will start up his own competing business with Spotify, It will kick Spotify to the curb and bankrupt the company.

Only conservatives work and have money to spend of the things advertised on Spotify. Once we are gone, Spotify will go broke.

How can he start his own business when he will be deplatformed? And banks won’t let hom take payments.

LOL. You think only conservatives have money to spend? I doubt that will happen. The left is in control of all major organizations in the country. This has been true for most organizations for decades. Now, they have everything. If need be, they will subsidize leftist media outlets (which they are calling for already for “local journalism”).

We’ll see. Words have meaning and contracts are chains of words occasionally broken up by punctuation. Any $100M contract should be lengthy and hyper detailed to cover foreseeable contingencies. Not sure that the way this played out was foreseeable, but 1-1.5 years ago when this contract was created, woke and cancel culture backlash was not unheard of.

I would interpret Rogan’s conciliatory remarks as a sign that he does not have a lot of protection in the contract. I have never listened to him and really have no dog in this hunt, but he risks loosing his audience if he is too apologetic/conciliatory.

I guess I would be interested in all this if I knew what a “spotify” was.....lol
