Anyone complaining about this that still has a Spotify account needs to stfu.
Nah the benefits outweigh the costs, they support an unfunny moron and I get all the music I want forever.
Spotify isn’t the best platform anymore and does other evil stuff too, like working towards paying even less to the artists. If the stunt they pulled with Rogan isn’t convincing you to never give them money again, you might be part of the problem.
Ah, the good people of Lemmy, with their Google and Spotify accounts fighting their part against the corrupted establishment. Heavily downvoting any righteous action that would make sense. There’s, atm, 26 people supporting Joe Rogan because they haven’t figured out how to look any further than Spotify. Which besides having Rogan on a pedastal are ripping off artists, the independent ones too. Those are the self-proclaimed leftist tech-nerds that are making this site happen!
if you have a Spotify account and still want to complain about Rogan’s bigotry and homophobia, i think that’s fine too
Consumer ethics is a diversion from systemic critique of the platforms enabling this shit
Anyone paying taxes in the US can stfu about the genocide of Palestinians.
Wow this is easy AND fun!
I left Spotify because of Joe Rogan.
Figured they don’t have money to pay artists well, but they have millions for a guy I don’t care about.
I’m not a fan of Apple, but they seem to pay artists better and also seem to give 2 fs about Joe Rogan.
I don’t have Netflix either anymore. Apparently I’m not missing much
It appears you have a stronger moral compass then 26 other people whose ear pleasure is more important to them.
Not a fan of apple either but supposedly they pay better then Spotify. I just buy music from the artists now.
I pirate what I want from Netflix at this point. Sweet tooth is worth a watch.
It was pretty fucking funny tho
Don’t give this guy space Lemmy wtf.
I noticed him on my Netflix just now.
Thumbs downed the lot on principle. I ain’t watching that shit.
I thought it was a bad comedy special but it’s just wild the amount of hate I’ve seen for him and it. Like we already knew he had no idea what he was talking about on Covid, he admits as such (standard “don’t listen to a comedian for that” take that he and Jon Stewart trot out all the time). You could see it as his surrender on the topic. People seem to be taking it more as a “he’s still talking about it.”
The Jon Stewart thing? They’re the two most prominent political comedians.
It’s because he pushes BS information without looking into it. I mean look up his bit where they talk about the presidental acceptance speech not being live. He insisted it wasn’t done live and it’s proven by Bidens watch being wrong. They debunk him in second. That’s the problem with him. Things he says can be debunked easily but instead of doing any basic research he just pushes crazy ideas that he likes.
