Recall that in recent weeks, the company has come under pressure because of the famous host, whose podcast The Joe Rogan Experience became exclusive to the platform in May 2020 after a deal for $ 100 million. The scandal surrounding Rogan’s views on coronavirus vaccines has grown after the musician Neil Young set an ultimatumthat it will remove all of its discography from the platform if it does not remove the podcast’s conflicting claims.
The podcast host apparently decided it was time to say something about it and did so on his social media profiles. In his statement, he justifies his actions, defined by many as misinformation, by saying that in his podcast he wants to talk to a variety of people who have different opinions and views from what is widely reported in the media.

Rogan added that he never wanted to provoke any controversy, but simply to hear different opinions. He also says he is a big fan of Neil Young and regrets that the musician decided to remove his music from Spotify because of his podcast.
Spotify suffered $ 2.1 billion in losses after the podcast scandal erupted. So Rogan decided to apologize to the platform for causing her problems. However, he stressed that he still considers it right to invite COVID deniers as his guests.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Megan Markle, who signed a multi-year deal with Spotify in December 2020 worth $ 25 million, expressed concern against the spread of misinformation on the platform. However, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they will continue to work with the company.
