Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes

I don't understand why can't he just put his podcasts up on https://www.joerogan.com/ ?

Why isn't anyone who think they have something to say that might be bad for business or controversial not just self-publish? It's normal that distributors and publications would be unsure about publishing controversial stuff that could be bad PR and bad for business, so self-publishing seems like the way to go.

I think of two reasons:

1. He has an exclusive deal with Spotify preventing it.

2. To reach masses (masses != HN audience) you need to be on Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube. Not technically, but practically, it's a must.
