They could get the artists back by just pulling that one JRE episode, but would that break their contract with Joe Rogan?
You think it would stop there? In these past conversations I haven't even seen anyone on HN point to anything specific that was said in the Robert Malone episode that was so bad it needed to be pulled. It's just been an implicit you should know why this person is bad and why we all hate them.
Edit: Downvotes instead of replies with what misinformation was shared... sounds about right.
It's ironic that these Sixties artists who sang about freedom from "the man" are now trying to force a giant corporation to censor another artist.
It would be ironic if artist- and artist-backed-consumer boycotts against giant corporations over actions including political messaging and associations weren't as much a part of the strategy of those same people in the 1960s and the rest of the intervening years as it is today.
