Long ago I canceled my spotify because they were giving millions to Joe Rogan, but not the artist actually making music. You could spend a year making a solid album and make a fraction of what some dude that just spews gibberish makes in one episode.
Spotify is not just a music platform but a podcast platform too. I'll bet they make a good amount from Rogan's show. I don't see what the big deal is about giving money to the podcaster making podcasts instead of the artist making music.
