I'm not sure why you think Youtube is "truly free". They run an enormous amount of advertising. Rogan's show has always been ad supported. Possibly you use an ad-blocker, like I do, and don't see them.

The Joe Rogan Experience is currently available on many different platforms, not just YouTube.

This, however, is an exclusive deal with Spotify, so you will only be able to get it from Spotify going forward. Hence less free.

It's not YouTube, but podcasting over rss feeds as a means of distribution that is 'free' in the pertinent sense.
