Joe Rogan, confined to Spotify, is losing influence

I didn't like them banning episodes too. There were internal movements from Spotify employees (liberal Silicon Valley workers) who wanted episodes completely censored and removed. Joe talked about it a few times and I read some articles.

The irony is that by moving to these liberal employees' platform, he's losing influence :)

By creating a crappy podcast platform they've ensured they get what they want and he ends up diminished.

> liberal employees

Unless Spotify publicly disclosed which employees said something along with their political beliefs, I think the best we can do here is describe them as Spotify employees.

Arguably there are reasons to dislike Joe's podcast for people all over the political spectrum.

Eh, liberals nowadays are much more likely to favor censorship than conservatives, which is ironic considering they're "liberal".

Also, it's Silicon Valley, liberals outnumber conservatives 10 to 1 so he's probably spot on with how he described them.
