Joe rogan spotify ads9/7/2023 ![]() ![]() This makes podcast unwatchable and unlistenable. Later on the podcast has audio advertisements in between the podcast. This was irritating however, spotify needs to earn there investment back, so some ads I could live with. At this point I was still able to view / listen to the podcast, with the added advertisements that popup and could be closed (PC version). However the chances of this coming back was enough for me to stop my premium account. Then there was a media issue on a possible content control attempt of the JRE podcast. The podcast was available on the free version, However the first couple of months I got a premium account, just to support spotify. Which was highly unlikely, however I would give it a shot. The deal has been sold to the public, that there would be no changes for the viewers/listeners. So first off Spotify buys the rights of the Joe Rogan podcast and make it exclusive to spotify. If they are being monetised by Spotify, now we know why the huge cost for JRE was worth it to them. It isn't even clear whether the ads are being served by Spotify or Joe, and this has remained needlessly obscure. Joe Rogan monetised his content with the ~£100 million Spotify acquired his broadcast rights for. Also that's how Youtube creators monetise their content. Youtube really *doesn't* have control over ad reads. Youtube channels commonly offer users Patreon-only content that dispenses with the ad reads. To suggest it would be impossible is just a straight lie, or staggering incompetence. What we're all hacked off about is that Spotify absolutely *could* control whether the embedded ads appear to premium accounts. The clear issue here (aside from the ads) is that everyone understands the "logic" that's been explained (that some podcasters may choose to include ads), and I think I've come across 'ad read' type sponsor ads in other podcasts on the platform.
