So, turns out the "270 doctors sign letter demanding Spotify condemn/censor Joe Rogan!" bs the media/cable news was spewing non-stop 24/7 about a week back- yeah...only 87 of the people who signed the letter/petition whatever you want to call it were actually medical doctors. About 100 were Ph.D.s or Ph.D. candidates and the rest nurse practitioners, veterinarians, dentists, psychologists, physicians' assistants, medical students, couple of engineers, and even a podcast host. So real headline should've been....270 people sign a letter demanding Spotify condemn/censor Joe Rogan, and only 87 of them were actual medical doctors. And they wonder why they are losing their audience and subscribers in record numbers. Lol.
Also...gigantic LOL @ Neil Young. Neil Young at his advanced age had a true get off my lawn moment- and demanded Spotify either remove Joe Rogan's podcast or his music from their platform. Sure thing Neil, they'll remove the biggest podcast on planet earth that has been a ratings and subscriber bonanza for them ASAP, just to keep your shitty music that no one listens to on their platform.
Spotify removed all of Young's music within hours. They said bye Felicia, don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
Rogan's podcast has been a smashing success for Spotify, it's the biggest podcast in the entire world and the episodes average around 11-12 million daily views per episode- and countless hundreds of millions more downloads per month. Vast majority of listeners/downloaders which are in that prized 18-49 demo. Neil Young probably got 500 streams a day in that key demo- if that.
By the way, it's obvious to me now why CNN has had this weird hate-boner for Rogan. Jealousy, envy, and fear at it's finest. His show gets like 12-13 times the daily viewership of CNN's top rated show. And his show is 2-3 hours long. Theirs is an hour. CNN has lost 90% of it's ad revenue in the key 18-49 demo. They are f**ked and it's guys like Rogan that are kicking their asses. TV is honestly dead, only boomers watch it- the key 18-49 demo has completely abandoned tv- only thing anyone that isn't a boomer watches these days on tv is live sports.
