Joe Rogan explains how moving to Spotify made him even more famous Joe Rogan \/ Breaking PointsJoe Rogan explained how he\u2019s become even more famous since moving his podcast to Spotify, to the point where the \u201clevel of weirdness\u201d in public has \u201cramped up considerably.\u201d Joe shocked the world when he announced that his podcast was becoming a Spotify exclusive back in May 2020. One of the biggest reasons behind the switch was that he claimed YouTube tended to \u201ccensor people without censoring them,\u201d which he didn\u2019t like. But despite being a good move for him, it made many fans angry at the time. That dissatisfaction continued to swell, especially after discovering more than 40 episodes had been removed from the platform. Nevertheless, Joe hoped moving to Spotify would make him \u201cless famous\u201d since it\u2019s less accessible than YouTube. However, the opposite seemed to happen, and he explained why during an interview with Breaking Points hosts Krystal and Saagar. \u201cOne of the things I was hoping about Spotify\u2026 [is that] I\u2019ll be less famous,\u201d he said. He conceded that it would have been a \u201cnice\u201d change. But instead, the hosts pointed out that he became even more of a \u201chousehold name\u201d after switching platforms, and he agreed. \u201cIt was [mentioned] in Forbes and all this sh*t, and it was just like, whoah!\u201d he said. \u201cI think people realized there\u2019s a lot of money in this sh*t. I think that was a big factor. It was like one of those moments in a movie where the record skips. And then the level of weirdness in public ramped up considerably.\u201d Joe also mentioned that the increased attention doesn\u2019t bother him because \u201cno one is ever mean to him in public,\u201d and people are \u201calmost always nice.\u201d And if he ever decided to take an extended break, he believes people will \u201cfind somebody else\u201d to fill the void. The relevant part of the video happens between 0:07 and 1:00. Even though he\u2019s still pulling incredible amounts of viewership on the platform, Statista reported that Google Search interest in the United States for the term \u2018Joe Rogan\u2019 has dropped by 40% since he made the switch. So, although Spotify has seemingly made him more famous, at least in terms of mainstream media coverage, it doesn\u2019t seem to be reflected in the numbers and search results. But it\u2019s fair to say that he wouldn\u2019t be too bothered by that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
