Is Joe Rogan's Spotify Exclusivity Damaging His Relevance?

Joe Rogan made the headlines last year when his highly lucrative exclusivity deal with Spotify was revealed. The Joe Rogan Experience, one of the most successful podcasts in the world first appeared on Spotify on September 1 and from December 1, all episodes were released exclusively on the streaming platform, having previously boasted a huge following on YouTube.

While the financial benefits for Rogan and the show are undeniable, Statista's Martin Armstrong asks (and answers) has restricting his reach led to a drop in relevance?

Previous spikes of interest generated when the show was more widely accessible have largely disappeared, relatively speaking.

Although the podcast is not behind a paywall, Spotify's popularity and accessibility is still nothing compared to that of YouTube and, despite the integration of video, the chances of an episode going viral are clearly lower at the moment.

All that said, his latest discussion with libertarian comedian Dave Smith is a much-watch/listen as the two cover everything from America's regime change foreign policies to Alinksy-ite domestic policy shifts, to COVID corruption, to diversity training, to vaccine passports, to running for president (as a libertarian candidate) and, quite frankly, everything else in the current zeitgeist...
