They don't have to and certainly wouldn't want to. He doesn't deserve or need the PR, as there is already a massive audience of dumbass boomers and kids who are willing to pay to hear his misindormation. He's already promoted by the numous misinformation websites that are funded mainly by the .01%, to develop votes for corrupt politicians. In case you didn't already know:

Please name some media outlets with less misinformation than Joe Rogan.

A number of those companies in the middle were complicit in the Russiagate hoax and squashing the Hunter Biden story. The chart is misinformation.

The .01% seeking to exert control is through people like you. It's very telling how unmoderated and uncensored comments skew right. The only left wing sites have to be heavily moderated to weed out wrongthink.

how exactly do they study which ones are being "recommended"? do they have access to the code?

i've seen it recommended to me.

Misener analyzed 90,000 episodes of different podcasts and found that Spotify was recommending around 14% of podcasts, 6% of them adaptations or originals, and 8% exclusives.

Episodes of JRE were not part of the recommended podcasts.

    Weird, yeah. There was a pressure on Spotify to ditch him, so I guess this is how they are trying to appease those behind that pressure ...

    Spotify is operated by a cartel and cohort of poo-poo heads.
