I don't follow. If he didn't sell, he would still own the very thing that Spotify wanted and valued at $500 million or whatever. It wouldn't magically become worthless.

He still owns it. He didt sell the rights to Spotify, it’s just an exclusivity deal. Iirc it’s a 2 year deal after which he can do whatever he wants.

If you're factoring his possible death into the equation and saying it's smart for his family because they're not billionaires then maybe. The idea he wouldn't have made even more than $100 million without Spotify is absurd.

Yeah the deal as I understood it was essentially Rogan gets $100 mm for taking his podcast off of Apple Podcasts and Youtube.

He has said initially it cut his audience in half but now the show is bigger than ever (probably in part due to all the Spotify controversies).

Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't renew when it came back up, but I think you can make the argument that the deal has actually been GREAT for him because there's a good chance Apple or Youtube would've pulled him or de-monetized him.

There is 10x more controversial shit being monetized on both Google and Apple. Joe Rogan is pretty vanilla. That's what makes the "controversy" so hilarious

It doesn't matter what is controversial, it matters what is targeted - and Rogan is a target.

ISIS is still on Twitter while anyone who makes a joke about transgenders is kicked off.

yeah he said he was already getting de-monetized and otherwise censored by youtube as part of his rationale. its prob a short term play to see how the landscape unfolds with the diff platforms before making a decision. seems shrewd

Cr. It brings Rogan fans on to SPOT. After the deal ends and SPOT and Rogan part ways/end exclusivity, fans stay.

entertainers don't want to do all that extra business shit just to capture all/more of their upside when the suits come dangling 9 figures in their faces

it's like telling star NBA players why don't you ditch the kikes and start your own league
