Musicians like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell demanded Rogan stop putting out misleading coronavirus information. Neil Young said if Rogan stayed on Spotify he wanted off. And his music was removed per his request.
Rogan apologized and said he would try to have opposing voices interviewed closer to each other in the future. Last week he promised his listeners more balance and better research for his podcasts.
And Spotify added a “content advisory” to any episode featuring discussion of COVID-19 as scientists and medical professionals urged the platform to prevent Rogan from spreading falsehoods.
UPDATE: According to a story in the USA Herald Joe Rogan announced at an Austin comedy club that he’s sticking with Spotify!

Then on Friday a video compilation of Rogan using the N-word went viral on social media.
