Spotify claims in their defense that they've pulled over 20,000 podcast episodes related to Covid since the start of the pandemic. This makes their decision to allow Rogan to broadcast apparently unfettered even worse by giving him still more credibility. Based on the quotes from his podcast that I've heard, his anti-science rants make him dangerous not only to his gullible listeners but to everyone who comes into contact with these irresponsible jerks--in other words to everyone.

I'm no longer including Spotify links in my Medium articles. I'm sure the behemoth won't notice the loss, but I'll know I'm not supporting them or their minions like Joe Rogan anymore.
