It's funny how lies sneak into even the simplest of things. The DailyCaller should know that it was not 270 "medical professionals" that demanded anything (though, I guess the number has ballooned from that initial group of clowns). The DailyCaller should not even mention them though, because they are insignificant. Elsewhere the real movers behind the attacks on Rogan have been exposed. Refer to them, DailyCaller, not to some puppets in the hands of monsters.

Crazy how much money some people have to wave around.

And why isn't anyone offering me a million for my writings?

It's RNC and Trump train money. I hope they blow their load on a lefty pot smoker, would be hilarious.

Yep - eg. Trump's raised $122 million, while the RNC helped pay his legal bills in January. Rumble also sees Rogan as part of the extra $ billion in revenue at Spotify FY 4th Q 2020 ($1b) through 4th Q 2021 ($2b), where costs tripled in that year). The question is: can Spotify absorb a loss of $4 billion in market value, and the loss in revenue with unsubscribed customers, which is currently 19%?

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

This 4 billion in loss is fake news. The entire market shit the bed, along with Spotify, starting 1/13/22. Way before Kneel Young licked the boot.

And you valuing the 'misinfo spreader' Joe Rogan at 1 billion dollars is pretty hilarious.

Well that'll teach me to agree with you on something. I thought I'd offer more than just, yep, in my response.

Firstly - what kind of mental illness does an online business have in order to lose any market share during COVID, much less 1 billion or 4 billion?

Secondly - I said, "Rumble also sees Rogan AS PART OF the extra $..."

regards

Are you fucking denying the market data that I just explained to you? The economy is on the verge of collapse due to this fake and silly COVID pandemic. Look at the fucking SPY chart you lazy bitch.

While I agree with your sentiment, I tend to think the market is a bad indicator these days.

There's no real value, fundamentals have been lost. Companies that make no money, can survive, seemingly indefinitely, on hope and fumes. The govt largely prints out whatever money any company it deems worthy when they see them struggling, likely for a favor later..

Until the US loses the status of being a reserve currency, I think it's unlikely using the market reflects reality.

I think it's still useful to look at certain sectors that most people don't to see what's actually happening,( e.g. the bulk shippers have always been a great indicator if how things are going etc. )

Ultimately, truth it seems is the rarest commodity now.

No need to be angry. BigCorp Online generally profited from COVID lockdowns, which was one reason Spotify saw a $1b profit with their extra $4b investment FY 20/21, which would have been a daft investment otherwise. Now their profits are taking a hit especially because of a Planet of the Apes comment. whereas the anti-vax misinformation was fully supported by them as part of their 'edge' in the online streaming market.

First you build a following several times bigger than any corporate media outlet, then they will offer you the money.

[–]Canbot 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

I don't know what his contract states but Rogan made the claim that they promised not to censor him. If they breached the contract with thier recent censorship he should absolutely walk away with that money and grab another easy 100mil.

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I hope he got that promise printed and signed.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I think he was able to afford the services of an attorney even before Spotify "rescued" him... ;-)

I hope this isn't serious. Rumble shouldn't be wasting money on mediocre establishment lickspittles like Rogan. They should be promoting by videos.

[–]JasonCarswell 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's a wise investment. They can't lose.

[–]Canbot 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

He has an audience bigger than any prime time corporate media show.

Clever PR stunt by Rumble, but even if Rogan wanted to accept, he's still under contract with Spotify.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

I'm pretty sure that contract stated "no censorship" or something like that, so the contract may very well be vitiated.

[–]BravoVictor 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

That's what I thought too. But yet they've still removed over a hundred episodes. Either they're using some obscure clause in the contract, or Rogan's just rolling over and letting them, which he probably is.

People think Rogan is some hard right wingnut or extreme libertarian itching for a fight. I don't think he is. I think he's borderline apolitical and just wants to get paid a lot of money to have some interesting conversations while smoking pot, and he doesn't want to spend all his time fighting with dipshit liberals, so he's bending the knee a little to placate them.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Which is obviously a huge mistake. Once the libtards see his knee bent by even a single degree, they won't stop hammering him until he's a pool of red sludge, figuratively speaking.

[–]BravoVictor 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Exactly. Conservatives know that. Rogan's not a conservative, and with a few exceptions, the left has largely ignored him. He's naive and thinks this will placate them.

There is a saying "you dont wash the feet of someone who doesnt even was his own hands.".

Joe doesnt stand up for himself. He always folded before the mob instead of exposing it as the intellectual and moral scum it is.

[–]Canbot 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Rogan has been attacked many times and he never backed down. Your propaganda is pathetic.

[–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I was certainly taught in the business world it's better to give a fake apology if it means things can move on quickly rather than try to claim the moral high ground when someone else thinks they are the victim (which is nearly impossible).

However that was before the woke with their competitive victimhood and mass attacking at the first sight of blood.

He may just be apologising because he is older and doesn't realise how these guys work yet.
