Breathing down Joe Rogan’s neck isn’t the first time Spotify has dabbled in censorship

Joe Rogan’s big move to Spotify, clinched in an exclusive deal last May that became official at the beginning of this month, is not going too well, according to reports from music industry sources.

The star podcaster and his “Joe Rogan Experience” show now appear to be facing rejection by many of Spotify’s employees, very early on in this business relationship – despite the fact that the company penned a several-year contract worth over $100 million with Rogan, and despite Rogan himself leaving another lucrative platform, that of YouTube, where he had almost 10 million subscribers.
