Joe all the things videos11/8/2022 What if the claim was murkier, or less solidly debunked? Would Spotify have left the episode up? Would it have added contextualizing indicators on the platform? And what would Spotify’s stance be if public criticism were levied at greater intensity and volume against Rogan? Would it feel moved to defend Rogan, or seek to evoke some sort of distributor neutrality stance? The latter is a possible option, theoretically speaking. The fact that Rogan issued an apology appears to have nipped this specific incident in the bud for now, but it did nevertheless raise the question of what would have happened if the situation turned out to be a little more complicated. This incident - along with the apology, which has been recognized as being somewhat rare for Rogan - drew a good deal of coverage, yielding write-ups by CNN Business, Business Insider, Vanity Fair, and the left-leaning media watchdog site Media Matters, among other places. I repeated it without looking into it and it was a really fucking stupid mistake that won’t happen again. turned out to be true, but the other shit I read about people getting arrested for lighting fires in Portland was not true. I read one story about a guy getting arrested for lighting fires.- Joe Rogan September 18, 2020 I was very irresponsible not looking into it before I repeated it. I fucked up on the podcast with Douglas Murray and said that people got arrested lighting fires in Portland. Here’s the version of the statement that went out over Twitter: Rogan’s recitation of the conspiracy theory turned out to be inadvertent, and to his credit, Rogan issued an apology over his social media accounts the next day, explaining that he had been misled by an article that he had read. That conspiracy theory had already been debunked by several mainstream news sources by the episode’s publication, and while Rogan’s citation of the claim seemed to be more of an aside contributing to the flow of the episode’s conversation on Murray’s “madness of crowds” ideas, the whole thing nonetheless added up to a situation where a piece of misinformation - which might be inflammatory or harmful, depending on how you interpret the impact mechanics of misinformation - ended up being spread further by an extremely popular podcast that’s now being paid for, hosted, and distributed by a major audio streaming platform. On Thursday, The Joe Rogan Experience published an episode with Douglas Murray, the conservative British political commentator, in which Rogan repeated a claim, derived from a conspiracy theory, that “left-wing people” have been arrested for intentionally causing wildfires in Oregon. The first involves a brush with misinformation. As discrete events, they don’t quite push the point just yet, but they do sketch out the broad shape of what Spotify will have to deal with as it negotiates a new identity and set of responsibilities that come with its modern programming efforts. Two things happened over the past week that hint at the battles to come. In particular, observers were curious to see how Spotify would navigate issues around misinformation and hate speech, the latter being a concept that Rogan himself has a history of actively interrogating in terms of its relationship with free speech. Sure, The Joe Rogan Experience commands an exceptionally large following and a growing currency of cultural influence, but Rogan’s radical free speech orientation and “freethinking” ideology have consistently courted controversy in the past. When Spotify signed The Joe Rogan Experience to an exclusive multi-year distribution deal earlier in the summer, the company’s stock price soared briefly, illustrating both the extent to which investors valued its bet on exclusives as well as Rogan’s unlikely standing as a legitimate media phenomenon.īut the move also prompted immediate questions about whether Spotify was prepared for what that media phenomenon brings with it.
