    I look forward to the day I never hear about this guy again.

    What’s shameful is Spotify is still allowing some of Andrew Tate’s content. If you have a Spotify account please consider contacting Spotify and send them a message saying you want Andrew Tate completely removed, want Spotify to stop funding Joe Rogan and demand a feature to block podcasts the same way you can block artists for songs. Also maybe consider ending your Spotify subscription. When you cancel your subscription you will be prompted to explain why you’re canceling. It’s crucial to fill you the reason. Say you’re canceling because you don’t like Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan.

      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.

      Mate this is brilliant! I had no idea. Can I share your comment?

      Also congratulations on your downvotes! You’re annoying the right people

        I always wonder if the people silently downvoting helpful comments like that know their downvotes are technically public, like anything you post on lemmy, if you’re using the right tool to look at a post.

        I don’t think it’s a good idea to do callouts over it or even block people over a single downvote; god knows I fat finger upvotes all the time, and the only reason I don’t do the same for downvotes is Blahaj has them turned off. But boy does it validate my blocking instincts when I peek and it’s someone I’ve already blocked.

      Doing your username proud.

      My only regret is that I can’t boycott Spotify again.

        I went the next step and use xmanager to basically pirate premium Spotify, so now I’m also costing them money.

        They’re fine with being a wanker and misinformation but they’ll draw the line at trafficking children for rape and sex work….maybe. If you apply some pressure.

      I know it’s not for everyone, but for me I feel like buying music I like directly from the artist/label or via bandcamp has been a better experience. Now I have a library of DRM free music, and I know the musicians got a better cut.
