Right? I mean, good lord the amount of blabbering that end runs the obvious is annoying. Setup your own. Move on.

Maybe Joe's bigger problem is he talks too much. He ought to spend time thinking about his business not seeing himself as a celebrity. You know, in a lot of places, stupidity is not well tolerated.

And Joe? Maybe think about something to say. Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr (boxer eg Ali), MLK, Federal papers, Shakespeare, Voltaire are remembered. In the daily spoken world, you'll accumulate many data points. Eventually turn to analysis, reflection, meaning.

Cause if you don't? I can still go back to the good guys above or merely talk to your guests myself. And we'll move on.

That's like saying you should divorce after the first fight or argument. A contract has been signed for a lot of money, 2 years a business relationship has been working fine for both parties and then the shit storm happens. You think all the talk right now is because he sees himself as a celebrity? Or because it makes no rational sense to just completely end his ties with spotify or for spotify to end their ties with him at the first signs of pressure from the social justice machine?

The net is open if you have know-how beyond booking guest talent oneself or through a 3rd party e.g. booking agent if you understand something about the tech that gets your product out. That was the position I agreed with. Why? 'cause it's right.

The net is open but there's a question of how easy or even if it is possible to gain an audience comparable to what the "closed" web offers. If you don't gain popularity then it is not as easy to get high value guests in the first place because those too may seek a big audience or give more value to venues that offer it so I'm not sure I get what your point is after all.

Dude! Time to grow up. Unidimensional people are boring. You wanna know what? If all Joe can do is yack in the microphone ... Maybe the fact some of his post casts went missing is much Ado about nothing. Wanna also know what? MLK or Ali would figure out how. Maybe Joe or you or both are unmotivated

I feel I'm getting trolled but I'll bite.

> Unidimensional people are boring

Joe has the biggest podcast in the world so obviously people don't find him boring.

> MLK or Ali would figure out how.

Figure out how to what?

> Setup your own.

"Just host your own website bro."

You'll get unbanked, say you move over to Bitcoin.

You'll then get banned from hosting company because they got a call from somebody, or they themselves were threatened with unbanking.

"Just use your own bare metal bro."

Say, data center will get a call from somebody and will drop you as a client.

"Just build your own data cecnter bro."

Cool, doable, who will uplink you? Comcast? They will drop you as well.

"Just build your own internet uplink bro."

Now this one is hard.

Here's where Web3 comes in, Rogan can host his content in IPFS and accept Bitcoin payments.

If that were to happen, he or his family wouuld probably get physically threatened then, sadly.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence. You reap what you sow.
