I thought Rogan wasn’t on YouTube anymore? Just Spotify. How long has that not been the case? Was that ever even the case or did I make that up?

Also why do they wear headphones on Rogan? There’s no need. It’s more comfortable without. Is this an artifact from the early days of his podcast where maybe the audio wasn’t working as well without?

I always thought he was Spotify only. Maybe since he renewed his contract with Spotify?

the first contract was an exclusive deal with Spotify for four years. no other distribution.

this new contract allows for all distribution, but Joe must split the ad revenue with Spotify. win-win for both parties.

if i had to guess, Spotify wants to prove its off-platform podcast analytics business after buying Megaphone a couple years ago.

His new contract allows him to post anywhere he wants even though spotify paid him again. So I think he lags the eps on youtube

Rogan left YouTube because of Covid and censorship and as soon as that ended they kinda ease down on the rules and let him in even though he still got a partnership with Spotify 765 $FARTHER
