I stopped supporting Spotify with my money because it hands so much of it to Joe Rogan. What about you? (I switched to Deezer.)

Spotify Has Stopped Even Sort of Trying to Stem Joe Rogan’s Vaccine Misinformation

@augieray @JeriLRyan Hmm, though just found Deezer has Alex Jones so maybe not any better.

@DodoNotDoDo While disappointing, my understanding is that Deezer doesn't pay for Jones. I believe Infowars is simply using Deezer as a distribution network (as can any podcaster.)
