In short, most of Spotify’s users likely don’t even know or care about Neil Young or his music. In the 35-54 age demographic, that only makes up about 27% of Spotify’s users. While some users are a tad on the older side (most readily available data shows that users aged 55 or older make up 19% of the userbase), 55% of the userbase is 34 or younger. Let’s face it – Spotify is a music streaming platform that is clearly more popular with the younger age demographics.

Well, it is of little shock to report that Spotify is just removing Neil Young’s music from the platform – because they’re obviously not going to remove the most popular podcaster of modern times in exchange for some artist whose best-selling album was from 1972. Before moving his content exclusively to Spotify, Rogan was one of just a few media personalities who listened to no one, who had the freedom to dive into topics that no one else in media would touch.MORE NEWS: Shoplifter Thug Gets CLAPPED By Hero Patron This is exactly what JRE listeners feared would happen after Rogan signed a $100 million agreement with Spotify last summer. Rogan’s fan base, as expected, is furious. Rogan seems okay with a “few” episodes losing distribution, recently saying “There were a few episodes didn’t want on their platform, and I was like, ‘Okay, I don’t care.'” It’s unclear, however, if Rogan knew that a “few” meant 42 and counting. Other recently canceled episodes include interviews with Brian Redban, seven episodes with David Seaman, four episodes with comedian Chris D’Elia, Gavin McInnes, Milo Yiannopoulous, and Eddie Bravo. I’m not sure if Asprey will make it to 180, but fans of JRE won’t get to hear his case anymore. Months after random, woke, and easily replaceable Spotify employees threatened to strike until Joe Rogan is censored, the podcast service quietly removed 42 - 42! - “controversial” episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience.Īccording to Digital Music News, which first noticed the removals, Spotify took down a recent episode with Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof Coffee, who claims he will live to 180.
