“There are so many #ironies to the decision of #liberals to convert #JoeRogan into some avatar of #far-right #extremism. One is that he’s one of the few to give a #platform to #left-wing #voices like #OliverStone. Another is that he endorsed #BernieSanders.

Joe Rogan: Four claims from his Spotify podcast fact-checked | BBC News

Joe Rogan has been criticised for helping spread misinformation on his podcast.
Spotify reportedly paid $100m (£75m) in 2020 for rights to The Joe Rogan Experience, which is the streaming service's top podcast. It is reportedly downloaded almost 200 million times a month.
On the show, the US broadcaster hosts a wide variety of guests who discuss their views on a range of topics - but some episodes have featured false and misleading claims.
Here are four of them fact-checked.

If you've been wondering why many people are trying to close down their Spotify accounts, wonder no more.

Spotify overwhelmed with requests to cancel following Joe Rogan saga | iMore

Spotify appears to have been overwhelmed by cancellation requests.
Reports suggest Spotify has shut down its live customer support because of complaints and cancellation requests.
It all started earlier this week when artist Neil Young asked the platform to take down his music over Joe Rogan's podcast and COVID-19 vaccine misinformation.

They're probably not trying to stop you cancelling your account, they just can't cope with the demand.

Rogans #Podcast ist mit rund 11 Millionen Hörern je Folge die beliebteste Sendung auf #Spotify. Der 54 Jahre alte Comedian verdingt sich unter anderem auch als Kommentator bei Mixed-Martial-Arts-Kämpfen. In seinem Podcast spricht er oft mehrere Stunden lang mit seinen Gästen über verschiedenste Themen. Mit Blick auf die #Corona - #Pandemie hatte er schon zuvor #Kritik auf sich gezogen, nachdem er im April 2021 erklärt hatte, junge, gesunde Menschen sollten sich seines Erachtens eher nicht impfen lassen. Später ergänzte er, man solle nicht auf ihn hören, er sei ja kein Arzt.
Erst kürzlich hatten rund 270 Ärzte, Wissenschaftler und Beschäftigte im #Gesundheit|swesen einen offenen Brief veröffentlicht und unter anderem Bezug auf eine Folge von Ende Dezember, in der der US-Virologe Robert Malone zu Gast war, genommen. Dieser forschte einst an der #mRNA -Technologie, ihm wird aber seit geraumer Zeit die Verbreitung von #Verschwörungstheorien und Falschinformationen über #Covid-19 - #Impfung|en vorgeworfen. #Twitter sperrte aus diesem Grund zuletzt seinen Account. In der Show mit #Rogan erklärte er unter anderem, dass ein Teil der Bevölkerung im Prinzip „hypnotisiert“ werde, um zu glauben, was #Medien und etwa Präsidentenberater Anthony #Fauci zu Impfungen sagten.
In einem am Mittwochabend veröffentlichten neuen Statement auf seiner Webseite nahm #Young Bezug auf den Brief, durch den er auf „dieses Problem“ aufmerksam geworden sei. Spotify sei zu einem „Ort der lebensbedrohlichen Corona- #Desinformation|en“ geworden, die gerade junge Hörer bedrohten. Lügen würden für #Geld verkauft.

„Ort der Desinformation“: Musik wird von Spotify gelöscht – Neil Young legt nach

Am Montag hatte Neil Young mit der Entfernung seiner Musik gedroht, da Star-Podcaster Joe Rogan Falschinformationen über Corona-Impfungen verbreite. Nun wird die Musik gelöscht und Young appelliert an andere, ihm zu folgen.
