Joe Rogan has entirely lost me because of this friction. I was only an occasional listener before but after trying one episode in Spotify I just gave up. The attempt to switch between video and audio only when locking and unlocking my phone, and the subsequent skip in audio, ruined it for me.

Indeed, same with me. I don’t think I’m a “super fan” enough to follow him and others to platforms.
I understand people switching and as much as I’d like to think that I would refuse $100M to switch my HN comments to a different, parallel, crappier internet; I suspect I would fail that test and take the $100M.

I think this is the real tragedy at the moment- it makes sense for content producers to switch to the highest bidder, and it makes sense for platforms like spotify to offer exclusive contracts. The end result is we all act rational and it still winds up worse for users- I don't really know what it would take for the incentives to change for the better?
