Joe Rogan used to have one of the most popular podcasts on the internet, but in mid-2020 he signed an exclusive deal with Spotify, reportedly for $100M. Therein lies the problem. I don't fault Joe for taking the deal. If Spotify offered me $100M for almost anything, I'd do it. However, I love the open nature of the internet, and this is another little thing that is making the internet crumble a bit more.
