The comedian and podcaster used his huge platform to spread more COVID disinformation, talk up Alex Jones and Elon Musk, and reveal an odd obsession with gay sex.
This is the sort of thing where the only thing you can possibly be getting from it is a sense of moral superiority, since you aren't actually making things better even if you were more persuasive (because you'd still be acting apart from any sort of organized boycott), and you are not even being persuasive.
Honestly I started off on your side but then I realized that the other people here are making valid points.
You're coming across as a solid dickhead.
I agree that since Spotify is sponsoring Joe Rogan that using spotify means in some part you are sponsoring Joe Rogan.
You might be 100% right on that, I might be 100% right on that, but if we are dicks to the people we're talking to about it they're going to be against us because of our attitude regardless of whether we are right or not.
Spotify isn’t the best platform anymore and does other evil stuff too, like working towards paying even less to the artists.
If the stunt they pulled with Rogan isn’t convincing you to never give them money again, you might be part of the problem.
Ah, the good people of Lemmy, with their Google and Spotify accounts fighting their part against the corrupted establishment. Heavily downvoting any righteous action that would make sense. There's, atm, 26 people supporting Joe Rogan because they haven't figured out how to look any further than Spotify. Which besides having Rogan on a pedastal are ripping off artists, the independent ones too. Those are the self-proclaimed leftist tech-nerds that are making this site happen!
