For the record, never once in history have the ones who banned the books and censored the people, been the good guys. Not once.

100% right.

Good ideas do not require the censorship of bad ideas.

Good you guys are agreeing. I'm not sure what banning books has to do with anything. Nobody is "banning" Joe Rogan, he can make all the podcasts he wants. My issue with Spotify and Rogan is that my premium membership is directly funding him. If this was just another ad-supported podcast, available on Spotify, Apple podcasts etc - no problem, but it isn't. This is the core of the matter, not banning him.

I pay for a full family premium plan, and I am very confident that the majority of premium Spotify customers either support Rogan or are indifferent in this issue.

You decide whether you want to continue paying your premium plan. Spotify will acquire the content it believes is best for all users. You do not control their decisions just because you pay the subscription.
