Screw those people and screw Rogan and Spotify itself for not only allowing Andrew Tate's hate, but also Rogan's disinformation and recently allowing Bannon back on to Spotify.
I urge everyone to contact Spotify or cancel your subscription and when you cancel be very sure to fill out the reason why you canceled.
To add on to this, Tidal and Deezer are excellent alternatives to Spotify.
Joe Rogan is out to punish the world for our role in making him short, bald and afflicted with bloated hgh guts.
He’s just another loser who hates himself and wants to burn down anyone he’s envious of.
Just like all his loser fucking fans.
Fucking losers.
It’s kind of wild how just seeing Joe Rogan’s name in a headline can trigger a full meltdown like this. If you’d actually read the article, you’d know it wasn’t really about him - it was about the broader shift toward podcasts and social media as news sources.
And that's part of the fucking problem cuz there are wanna be joe rogans losers listening to him and spreading the same disinformation uncritically, while shitheads who think criticism of these cocksuckers is somehow a bad thing.
Which disinformation are you refering to exactly?
EDIT: If someone else is interested in discussing what exactly the issue with Joe is, I’d like to hear your perspective. I don’t consider myself a fan, but I’ve listened to him quite a bit - especially in the past. I don’t recognize him in much of the hate I see online, though I do acknowledge that some of the criticism is valid.
His fans are fucking losers.

One wonders why, no?
Also; you're not making it better by saying there are more idiots like Rogan where people are flocking towards. Left or right, they're uneducated idiots that got popular for dumb reasons
We need people to start listening to journalists
Joe’s the first to admit he’s an uneducated idiot - he’s a comic and a cage fight commentator. He’s had plenty of journalists as guests on his podcast, as have other podcasts like his.

I’ve tried to tell all my feeds to fuck off with the Joe Rogan content, but I still get a clip from his podcast or some stupid “cancel me comedy” channel every now and again and I don’t understand why that bullshit is pushed so much on me when I continue to go out of my way to tell my algorithm that I don’t want that crap. No wonder so many young men are falling into it, it doesn’t even matter what you engage with, you’re still gonna be fed Rogan’s content
You interacted with it... It doesn't care if you don't like it... You interacted with it... You have feelings to it... If you get more of that content what are you more likely to do?
Interact with it...
Stop interacting with it ... Ignore it...
Stop scrolling brain rot is the best thing you can do.... Watch channels that teach you something... Lots of good creators out there with fun content... That you can learn from...
How is clicking the option “don’t show me this type of content” engaging with it? I don’t even let the video play or leave comments or even hit the dislike button. That option is meant as a way to manually remove something from your algorithm and it doesn’t work.
Yeah we know, it got trump reelected. People are getting stupider in America—particularly the “bros.” We are very, very fucked.
It's official: We're fucked.
Gross.
Would it be considered immoral to feed Rogan to a Joshua tree?
Is this article from 10 years ago?
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?
He's the Dan Rather of our times lol
