We're going to play a game called "Guess Who Said It" - and then when the game is over, we'll dive in a little more on what is happening in our public sphere.
Too bad Jimmy Kimmel didn't actually believe his own apology. Too bad Joe Rogan doesn't understand his own audience, and instead panders to the woke mob. No matter how much he apologizes, the mob will demand more. I do not doubt the sincerecy of his statement as to his regret for using that word. But if this experience chills Joe's freewheeling style and curiosity, the woke mob wins and Joe and Spotify loses.
Agreed. That’s why I think Rogan’s offer from Rumble is so interesting. It’s almost like Pavlovski is trying to pressure Spotify into NOT canceling him. We need more platforms to stand up than just one or two. If Spotify caves, it gets harder for freedom of speech to win.

I know there are contracts and legal issues, but... I don't understand why Joe is not using the Rumble offer as you are suggesting.
It’s gonna come down to Spotify, imo. The contract probably doesn’t allow Rogan to leave unless he forfeits a big buyout fee. But Im just guessing.
