Joe Rogan claims he\u2019s had massive subscriber boost despite Spotify controversies Spotify\/Joe RoganUFC commentator and podcast giant Joe Rogan claimed that his Joe Rogan Experience show gained a few million subscribers during the height of his recent controversies, though, not everyone is buying it. In the last few years, the Joe Rogan Experience podcast has grown to become arguably the biggest podcast in the world. So much so that Spotify snapped the show up in a reported $200 million exclusivity deal. Since the move to Spotify, though, Rogan\u2019s show has increasingly been put under the microscope, with plenty of calls for the streaming service to rip up the deal. Those calls only intensified at the start of 2022, with Rogan coming under fire for allegations of racism due to previous comments he\u2019d made. A number of artists turned their back on Spotify because of Rogan\u2019s involvement, also blasting his \u201cpublic misinformation\u201d regarding the global health situation. Though, according to the podcast host, he\u2019d seen plenty of success on the back of all that. The claims came during episode 1807, as Rogan spoke to repeat guest Douglas Murray about how life has changed since the last time the pair spoke.

Though, he noted that it hadn\u2019t all been too bad for him. \u201cYeah, I definitely got put through the wringer. They did, it\u2019s interesting, but my subscriptions went up massively,\u201d Rogan said. \u201cThat\u2019s what crazy. During the height of it all, I gained two million subscribers.\u201d The podcast host didn\u2019t expand on that claim, moving swiftly on to other topics. Timestamp of 4:40 While Rogan suggested that his growth had boomed in a way, that claim has been disputed by some. As per the Hollywood Reporter\u2019s sources, the JRE Podcast has been growing \u201cconsistently\u201d since joining Spotify but \u201chasn\u2019t spiked\u201d due to one particular moment or at a point in time. Considerable changes have been made to the JRE Podcast in the wake of the backlash, though, it continues to be the most popular show on the airwaves. Rogan has stated previously that he\u2019d quit the show and his Spotify deal if he has to walk on eggshells, though, doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019ll happen anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
