In what sense are Mitchell and Young being _rewarded_? They're going to lose some money, right? And they've certainly lost a few Joe Rogan fans.

Both of them simply asserted their right not to share a platform with someone they believe is doing significant harm. They owe him and their (Spotify's) customers nothing in particular.

It'll either work out for them and they'll get what they want, or it won't.

He makes 600,000 a month from his own streaming service. Some protests are commercials.

They would be rewarded if Spotify dropped Joe Rogan to appease them.
