Podcaster Joe Rogan said on Tuesday that two former nameless presidents were involved in the demonstration against his skeptical discussions on COVID-19.
Spotify received a counterpoup in 2022 for allowing Rogan, one of his largest stars, to disseminate what progressive criticisms claimed were poor cocovio information. The musician Neil Young deleted his content as Spotify to protest against Rogan’s rhetoric, saying that he no longer wanted to share a platform with him.
“And then all of a sudden, I hear that Neil Young wants me to withdraw from Spotify. I said to myself:” What is the F — It’s crazy “,” said Rogan on Tuesday.
“Spotify has received calls from two former presidents,” he added.

The press secretary of the White House then, Jen Psaki, directly commented on the controversy. After Spotify announced that he would signal the podcasts that cover COVID-19, PSAKI replied: “So this warning is a positive step, but we want each platform to continue to do more to call the disinformation while emphasizing precise information.”
“Our hope is that all the main technological platforms-and all the major sources of information elsewhere-are responsible and vigilant to ensure that the American people have access to specific information on something as important as COVID-19,” she added.
But Rogan said that instead of being censored or moved, “I increased by 2 million subscribers in a month”.
“People have started to listen to,” he said, despite the way his criticisms attacked his reputation. “And they started to listen to, like” oh, it is really reasonable and quite humble in all this and just asking questions. “”
Rogan also condemned the way the media attacked his use of the ivermectin to treat his covid-19 by referring to him as a locking of horses.
“I am, like” why don’t you focus on the fact that a 55-year-old man goes three days later during the worst tension? “It is during the delta where everyone panic. And I was going well in three days,” he said.

Rogan described all the experience as a “alarm clock” which opened his eyes to the liberal media of the inheritance.
“It’s so dirty. It’s such a dirty business,” said Rogan. “God, I had massive respect for journalists. If I had never done this podcast, I would be your regular Schmo with, you know, spitting all the lines of the business and all the explosion everywhere in the news.”
“I loved him somehow better then,” he said, laughing. “I did not think that the world was filled with demons, demons eager for money which are ready to sacrifice human life in the continuation of income.”

The founder and CEO of Spotify, Daniel Ek, addressed the decline against the accommodation of Rogan during the call for the company’s profits in February 2022.
“I think the important part here is that we do not change our policies according to a single creator, and we do not change it according to the media cycle,” said the CEO at the time. “Our policies have been carefully written with the contribution of many internal and external experts in this space – and I think they are correct for our platform.”
Fox News Digital contacted Spotify to comment and did not receive an immediate response.
