Joe Rogan reveals major reason YouTube \u2018forced\u2019 his huge Spotify switch The Joe Rogan ExperienceJoe Rogan revealed a major reason behind his move from YouTube to Spotify in a conversation with Tulsi Gabard on Episode #1599 of the Joe Rogan Experience. Joe Rogan\u2019s fans still have mixed feelings about his multi-million dollar move to Spotify. However, nobody can blame him for accepting such a lucrative offer. But despite their concerns and accusations, it seems like the reason behind his switch wasn\u2019t all about the money. In Episode #1599 of the Joe Rogan Experience with Tulsi Gabbard, they eventually started talking about censorship. It\u2019s an issue that Joe has been concerned about for a very long time, and apparently, it was one of the major reasons why he switched to Spotify in the first place. \u201cIt\u2019s a weird time when someone can just decide that they just don\u2019t like you, or what you\u2019re doing is problematic. It\u2019s one of the reasons why I went to Spotify. It\u2019s because they had a vested interest in me succeeding. \u201cLike, instead of worrying about me being pulled from their network. It\u2019s not that I never really worried about that with YouTube. But it\u2019s always possible, and there were some weird shenanigans they would do with demonetizing specific episodes just randomly, and we would question it.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a way of censoring people without censoring people. Because you say, oh, were you guys talking about that? Oh yeah, you know, we can\u2019t put ads on that. Oh, did you guys swear? Oh yeah, we\u2019re going to have to demonetize that.\u201d \u201cThere was a lot of weird stuff like that. They\u2019re great overall, but the arbitrary decisions are [often] done by people that work there. Someone has the ability to decide whether you make money off something or whether you don\u2019t make money off something.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not a primary concern, but it points to an issue, and the issue is someone being able to dictate what you can or can\u2019t talk about, or someone incentivizing you to talk about something or not talk about something. I don\u2019t want to be a part of that.\u201d The relevant part of the podcast happens between 112:00 and 114:00. Interestingly, the narrative on social media has been that Spotify has been censoring the podcast. Joe has flat out denied and said they\u2019re a \u201cgreat company\u201d and \u201cvery open-minded.\u201d However, that didn\u2019t stop some fans from begging him to go back to YouTube. \u201cGo back on Youtube, it\u2019s easier,\u201d one pleaded. \u201cYouTube was more convenient,\u201d another stated. There were also complaints about no comment section. Sadly for fans wanting to see JRE back on YouTube, there are no signs it will be happening any time soon, especially considering the Spotify deal was for multiple years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
