"Starting on September 1 the podcast will be available on Spotify as well as all platforms, and then at the end of the year it will move exclusively to Spotify, INCLUDING THE VIDEO VERSION.
It will remain FREE, and it will be the exact same show. It’s just a licensing deal, so Spotify WON'T have any creative control over the show...

...We will still have clips up on YouTube but full versions of the show will only be on Spotify after the end of the year."

sell out

hopefully this is the end

good s*** brother

This is terrible news.

Won’t be on YouTube?

yeah his podcast is on a big downfall last few months. This guy gets an expert on viruses and speaks to him for 2 hrs then completly changes his position after getting few others that have nothing to do with that and only have bro science.

only his clips channel

Garbage

his clips channel gets more views than his podcast channel

Smart move considering how much YouTube hates him

How Rogan, king of podcasts, gets a worse deal than Joe Budden? I believe they are both too 2 correct? Joe's still able to secure the $ and post full shows on his youtube

Yeah this objectively a smart move too and he's always said he doesn't enjoy the platform so this is great.

Any loss in viewers I'm sure the deal will make up for in pay.

I mean I can still watch/listen through Spotify but I think doing this is just gonna kill his viewership. Most of the reason it was so incredibly popular is because it’s free to watch on YouTube

That's not a worse deal Rogan said alot he doesn't enjoy YouTube and his Clips channel gets more attention then his regular one and Buddens. He's prolly get big money upfront.

Putt it like this Budden can keep his on YouTube cause Spotify isn't willing to pay him to be exclusive to them.

ffs this is f***ing awful

rip jre

Some sad s*** man

Imagine thinking it'll be the same show on the platform that tried to remove xxx and other controversial artists

JRE has been mid for a little while, lately only the scientific/math guests have been worth listening to. Final nail in the coffin for me

I’m willing to bet they gave him at least 80-120 mill to switch over

Y’all see that last fight companion with bravo callen and shaub the other day? Went kinda off the rails with corona conspiracies and anti lockdown s*** and became a train wreck

They also didn’t like how youtube is censoring corona conspiracy videos so I’m guessing this is him saying f*** you to YouTube

That last Alex Jones podcast was iconic. Everyone memeing and reacting to it for days after

We'll never get a moment like that again

Bet there’s zero chance that Spotify will let him have Jones on the podcast again, s*** was hilarious

YouTube deserves some blame for this though as a subsidiary of Google they could match any contract but won't cause they treat their content creators like s***
