Spotify signs ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ to an exclusive multi-year deal
I agree with JRE leaving YouTube over the censorship but I disagree with him moving exclusively to spotify for following reasons:1. Spotify was the one who conspired with Facebook, Apple and Google to ban Alex Jones and others. So if Joe is moving off of YouTube because he doesn't like the censorship, he's not getting anything better with Spotify.2. Currently, Spotify doesn't have video (except album cover clips which occasionally show up). I prefer JRE's video format instead of audio. Think of Elon smoking weed on video vs on audio - very different. Seems like Spotify might be adding video later in the year but until that happens, we don't know what we will be getting.3. "Exclusive" deals in the podcast world is bad. Podcasts were supposed to be platform independent audio files. Making things exclusive is going backwards.4. Spotify is not available in many countries.5. Spotify's desktop player isn't the best imo. Their web player is only for audio so far, so they need to make major changes.
