    Spotify paid ridiculous sums of money, specifically to get Joe Rogan.

    They absolutely do not care about complaints about tate.

    Not to say you shouldn’t try, you should, just that it’s screaming into the void until the monetary price of continuing support is greater than at least some combination of sunk cost + potential profit. ( so $250m + whatever their profit projections are ).

      I think they will care about complaints of convicted human traffickers.

      But I agree they’re not getting rid of Rogan.

        I would lay money on them not giving a single solitary fuck unless it affects their bottom line somehow.

            Sure, enough pressure from the ad execs would bring about change, probably.

            I just wanted to point out that they aren’t working with a moral or ethical baseline, only money.

              And I wanted to point out working with a moral or ethical baseline is what makes entertainment industry capable of producing their profits, for all the good and bad that comes with.

                I don’t exactly disagree, but i think my stance is that the money is the reason and the morals/ethics are a byproduct of having to do what it takes to get that money, in certain markets.
