Spotify is in trouble, their share price is falling.
Neil Young was looking for an excuse to leave Spotify, Joe Rogan became convenient. Spotify has been breaking the bank on podcasts, they paid $60 US to Alex Cooper to move the mind corrosive Call her Daddy to their platform...Dave Portnoy must have been overjoyed. At the same time they are downright miserly to musical artists, Neil Young may have tipped an avalanche. Spotify are starting to look like Bobby Axelrod at the end of S5 of Billions. The Machiavellian Mike Prince (ironic isn't it) spun him like a top, he goaded into making rash decision on emotional response.
Last summer Rogan didn't check his words, he was having a chat with his longtime friend Jim Norton. He said Sirius/XM is an impractical stone age platform. He failed to do his homework, the satellite radio service has it's own podcast platform. It started with Howard Stern (yawn) and is steadily growing. To them Joe Rogan became Public Enemy No. 1, Ch27 is devoted exclusevly to Neil Young's music, the podcast goes to the end of the month. Not only that, Apple TV has signed Jon Stewart for a televised podcast. I can only imagine the feeding frenzy once Charles barkley retires from TNT!
