This was news 2 weeks ago.

there is barely anything left on youtube now.

Who?

Is he going to further explain the Seth Rich conspiracy theory on Spotify now? Dope.

Joe Rogan is a racist

Good. Youtube has a lot of good content creators that it constantly shits on and treats like garbage in favor of big companies and establishment media. I'll follow Joe on Spotify instead.

If u lusten to other people babble find a new hobby

YouTube should just let everyone post whatever they want. Exp the obvious stuff.

Savage!

Good luck with that! I stopped listening to Howard Stern when he when to satellite radio. I will do the same with Joe Rogan.

Weed or weed out you.

Good , Google and YouTube are run by Nazi’s

YouTube will win. It's the platform not the performer.

hopefully there's no paywall and he doesn't go the way of howard stern, who became completely irrelevant once he went to satellite radio.

techish MichaelBerhane_ Abadesi

I’ve listened to Joe Rogan’s show and it’s good but it’s not spectacular. What am I missing here? What makes it so special in your opinion?

MDemker

And they still don’t pay artists...

renatosrebelo O Joe Rogan fechou um contrato de 100 milhões de dólares com o Spotify. Caralho o Joe Rogan é foda! O objetivo do Podcast do Sexto Round é chegar no mesmo nível do Joe Rogan Experience?

Way to go Joe! Sure beats feeding people crunchy insects on a half assed game show. I think you should go all in on Cataclysm theories and unknown civilizations.

Wow, that sounds like a great investment.

Hey SpotifyUSA at least you're paying someone. Lulz.

Fear Factor guy got PAID

Spotify should have done their research better. I would have accepted deal for a fraction of that🤓

Oh good, Joe Rogan is going to get all the money that should be going to musicians.

Joe Rogan Leaving Youtube For Spotify & $100 million via YouTube

Because Joe Rogan knows that YouTube is not a safe or reliable platform on which to operate a business. He doesn't even try to live stream his podcasts anymore on the site. SusanWojcicki has run the entire thing into the ground.

The Full Joe Rogan Experience Is LEAVING YouTube And iTunes For Spotify via YouTube

Took it in the butt for money, ironically right after Elon Musk was on explaining how the new chip Bill Gates created gets implanted in your head after they cut out a little piece of skull. Joe's working for the devil now.

YouTube is now trash...good for him. MySpace needs to be a thing again and a new web browser. Then we'll be good

This just isn’t true

“According to a person familiar with the matter,” so it’s a rumor.

How do we know this isn’t some huge conspiracy ?

BravoKiloActual I'm very disappointed in Spotify.

Huh. Seems like a huge overvaluation.

ByeByeSpotify

10 year grind... he deserves it

Why

Role Model.©️

Joe Rogan is the fucking GOAT!

He's gonna lose people...

Prefer he stayed on youtube, but 100 mio sound irresistible 😌

thisisrory JoeBudden hopefully y’all saw this before the pod tomorrow

Good for him. Getting paid while getting away from YouTube's blatant censorship YouTube

yo congrats joerogan

NickOfNewYork TBOYjack RobinhoodSnacks they dropped PFWTM news, what do ya'll think ? (huge snacker btw)

incarceratedbob

Jaime, pull up that $100 million contract, real quick...

ALL I KNOW IS THAT, they better pay JoeBuddenPod JoeBudden

JFernandy 👑👑👑

Good, screw Youtube and their censoring.

This might lure me to Spotify. Before anyone jumps my shit and calls me a Trump supporter: “No, no, and *fuck no.” I don’t always agree with Joe’s guests but I’m more likely to hear them out because of his show and the format. (Skip the flat-earther crap. Gotta have standards.)

😲😲

People are acting like he wasnt rich before. Dude made successful stand up comedy career with two Netflix specials, have been commentating for UFC for 20years and makes 30-50k per podcast episode. CONGRATS HE WORKS HARD 🙌

Congrats joerogan love the show!

Looks like some ugly broad is about to metoo him.

This is great! Now the Magats will not have to take him seriously since they are a bunch of sheep.

🤮

I guess he chose The Man.

Bill Simmons doubled Rogan?

too far to watch anymore , Im way to lazy to watch something on spotify.

ElBadiablo & NingunEduardo thoughts on this?

RUBLES and dirty Criminal money...ut hey, money is money....amirite?

gladstein You could’ve done the deal in Bitcoin joerogan. Should’ve done it for a call 10k BTC. You’d’ve been the first.

thats just an incredible amount of money for a show. spotify must know whats coming if they are doing this.

Good for joerogan! I'll follow him to Spotify.

we still get 10 rambling minutes of ads though right

incarceratedbob Rogan the Goat

Boy are we in for a doozy on Wednesday 👀JoeBudden

ooniversaI

As long as its on YouTube still idc

Highly prefer the Youtube format but good for Joe.. Spotify will be great for him

With all the issues he's been having with YT, it shouldn't be surprising he would leave them eventually. Only things I'm shocked by are who he's going with and the money they're paying.

I never had spotify does that mean it will be audio only?

Congrats joerogan. Nevada/Texas Cult money!

Nic_Fla stor_kuk kafaen

IfyNwadiwe what are we even doing lol

YouTube censorship is deplorable and makes their service unusable. I'm not surprised he left it similar to PewDiePie leaving YouTube as well.

King!

Bernie isn’t going to approve

Sucks but..... 👇

Props to JoeRogan for cashing in. Stopped listening to his podcast years ago because he tended to veer every damn discussion into yet another boring-ass MMA chat.

incarceratedbob BarstoolBigCat PardonMyTake now he doesn’t have to worry about you guys passing him

incarceratedbob Maybe he can stop buying shitty weed now.

incarceratedbob

incarceratedbob JimBiringer and I have our podcast on Spotify and they are doing a lot of improvements in Anchor.fm

Last Podcast on the Left did the same. I wonder if Spotify might accomplish what Sirius couldn’t with Howard Stern

This is a good thing, as much as I love watching content creators on YouTube, the fact is YouTube have been treating their talent like shit for years now and its about time some of the big names left them.

MarcoRonzitti

highvxn alv

Good. Now I can continue to not listen to it.

Now pay musicians, SpotifyUSA!

Where the hell did Spotify get the $$ to pull this off?

Now he's part of the corporate club.🙄

Congrats to JamieVernon as well, the man behind the scenes that makes it so enjoyable to watch.

BIGNOAH256 holy shit lmao

saradietschy

Hahaha so the guy that spouts that he doesn't want to be controlled by executives will be exactly that. joerogan

So video coming to spotify. Cool

Damn, what will I not listen to now?

Good for Joe... fingers crossed he won't turn into Howard Stern. Joe won't though. He's got a good handle on who he is and confidence that is high.

huh. I was considering canceling Spotify. I have SiriusXM, Amazon Music, & Pandora so I really don't need it. Now I will definitely cancel it.

$100 million for a podcast is stupid any unemployable moron with a laptop can have one.

I dont get why hes so popular

Hey, I’d do it for a half.

Bye YouTube with all your censorship. Learn something from this Twitter...

Very smart man

Wouldn’t all his video equipment be kind of pointless now?

glad I don't give spotify any money

joerogan is the new 'flash in the pan'. Kind of like any Kardashian. The rational thinkers ignore crap. What job is he searching for in the realDonaldTrump Admin. Everyone who tweets nice about Trump is always seeking a reward. Well JoeRogan? Any response

So what does this mean for his listeners? Will I have to pay to join Spotify, or will they do commercials, or what?

joerogan is this real? 🥺🥺🥺

Was that person young Jamie?

He’s so much better than Stern or Rush. A modern radio guy 👍🏼

🤯 winning in life

Holy Fuck ...

Who knew the guy from Fear Factor would generate that much interest on the podcast platforms. I only watched the show because of his guests.

Seems joerogan is the new KylieJenner $SPOT

Who's Joe Rogan?

finally he can buy his own elk country..
