> I'm 100% confident Joe Rogan will be removed from their platform

Really? I'm 90% confident Joe Rogan will not be removed from their platform. They spent 100M to get exclusive rights to his podcast, and their market cap subsequently went up 1B. The best future for Spotify is in aggregating podcasts, not music, and Joe Rogan is the number one podcaster in the world.

This isn't some minor player on their platform -- Joe Rogan represents Spotify's best chance at a future where they aren't just competing away profits against Apple Music. They aren't going to give that up lightly. Not to mention, they knew what they were getting into when they brought him on.
