No matter how insignificant, the boycott undermines Spotify’s brand, which is that all notable music will be on it.

He’s no Rush, that’s for sure. It’s been almost a year. How I miss the man!

This whole podcast and Twitter business is way too numbers driven. As a result, you never know what the numbers really mean.

The same is true of advertising ‘clicks’ - ambiguous and often very misleading ‘clickbait’ causes millions of people to click on a link.

And people get paid for those ‘clicks’ by sponsors, regardless of how briefly the clicker stayed at the link, or of how fast they regretted clicking, and hit the back button.

Clickers may click for any of a thousand reasons. Subscribers may subscribe because they agree with the content, but they can also subscribe because they disagree and like to argue. Or, more likely because that podcast is “trending” and they are like lemmings running over a cliff - or flies on sh!t.

Yet, these numbers of clicks and subscribers are used to measure a podcaster’s supposed “following”.

I think the high ratings of a show like Rush Limbaugh’s three hour daily talk radio show are about a million times more meaningful than the number of followers on any podcast.

There’s just no comparison.

The difference is stark. Rush was a principled conservative.
as a man of principle, he would never apologize for telling the truth, and he never did.

Rogan is a squishy liberal. He just proved it.

Say what we will about Rogan, but he was reaching and red-pilling MILLIONS of people Rush or no other conservative could reach. Taking him down was critical for the Democrats.

The American Thinker is confused about who Rogan is, he doesn’t pass himself off as a conservative - much less a Limbaugh. Seems this is a reverse case to liberals who’ve never heard Rogan complaining about the podcast; being unfamiliar, the writer is complaining Rogan’s not being Limbaugh-like enough.

Can someone explain how people like Young can pull their music without breaching some sort of contract?

Tim, I knew Rush Limbaugh, he was like a friend to me. . and, Tim. . Joe Rogan is no Rush Limbaugh.

Rush Limbaugh would've given their stupid protests and pulling their music from Spotify about two minutes of air-time on his show, he would've laughed at them and then MOVED ON ... proving for all how inconsequential Neil Young, Joni Mitchell (I thought she was dead??) and everyone else who pitches a hissy fit like a two year old girl really is.

I miss Rush.

Have never listened to Rogan and don’t plan to; still this treatment of him is wrong.

As far as these “musicians” are concerned, what little I’ve heard of them is garbage.

Rogan who is a liberal with some powerful lapses into common sense has shot off two of his toes with the apology. He is no longer credible. To regain anything of his previously accumulated stature he should quit spotify and forgo the contracted earnings then go to another nonWoke platform with notices put on all the relevant boards.
