      Spotify is a shitty company nobody should be giving money to. They gave Joe Rogan a platform out of greed when others shunned him.

      He should definitely do something else and shove it in their face. They still have to pay him regardless. I don’t think Spotify is the right route though…

      I personally think he should tour a live show as Conan did and really take it up a notch. That single tour launched an entirely new world of opportunities for Conan, and I’m sure it would do the same for Kimmel.

          Lou Wilson, a frequent cast member on dropout.tv works for Jimmy Kimmel as his opening act for the live audience. I don’t think dropout is actually a great fit of audience, but it’d be one hell of a swing to get Jimmy on a smaller streaming service like that. I’d love to see it, however unlikely. Ultimately he will probably just end up on Netflix or HBO

              YouTube is the Spotify route? I’m not getting it. Are you using “Spotify” to generically mean “audio content”, like people might have said “radio” at some point? Or to mean smaller-scale streaming content or something…?

              Sorry, I just woke back up and didn’t get much sleep last night. So may be being dumb.
