On: Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes

[FeteCommuniste]

Some of them are really baffling. Tom Segura, Bert Kreischer, Ian Edwards? Tim Ferris?

Likely delete out of requests by the guests.

[imgabe → yannikyeo]

Segura and Kreischer at least are good friend with Rogan and have been on multiple times. I think it's unlikely they would request to be removed.

I see a lot of speculating like this and if you know these people you know they wouldn't have requested it.

Michael Malice had 2 of his episodes pulled and just did a YouTube about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1MHKIRUow. He did not request them to be removed and Joe did not either.

It's likely given that the episodes with Robert Malone (the controversial MRNA Vaccine creator) is still up that these recent take-downs are the result of some new algorithmic reviewer.

People on Reddit for instance have noted that many of these episodes talked about race and may have used racial epithets or alluded to race-based issues somehow and may have gotten automatically flagged or some such.

Many of the deleted guests still have other episodes that are up. So it doesn't seem to make sense.

[tinco → yannikyeo]

If that's true then why wouldn't Spotify say so? It's not a good look for them that they're just gone.

[YATA0 → yannikyeo]

Stop repeating this misinformation. Many of the "deleted" guests still have other episodes that are up.

Maybe they are having trouble paying their S3 bill

[scruple → FeteCommuniste]

The Louis Theroux one really throws me off.

[robbedpeter → scruple]

Ooh, conspiracy time, it's scientologists pulling the strings!

[stevehawk → FeteCommuniste]

real chance these were done due to jokes that aren't woke/pc more than vax related

[bartimus → FeteCommuniste]

Just checked: Tom Segura is still there. Kreischer, Ian edwards too.

Bill Burr?
