He will no longer be autonomous and be able to do what he wants.
Actually, part of the deal is that he WILL be able to be autonomous and apparently even more so than utube content producers.
Given Pat's experience I don't think I'll become a spotify customer though.

Saw that. Didn't always agree with his stance/opinion, but seemed like a very neutral source and decent interviewer. For $100M those days are gone. Sad. He will no longer be autonomous and be able to do what he wants. He's lost a ton of respect from a lot of people with this move.

Jones said Rogan told him he is sick of being treated poorly by Google, and the straw that broke the camel’s back was that Rogan wanted to interview doctors and experts who have differing opinions on the coronavirus to the officially sanctioned narrative, and was told by YouTube that they would not allow such content on their platform.

So I ran "lsof" to see which files it had open. Answer: all of them! It literally had thousands of files open, and they were not music files. They were personal, OS, all kinds of things.
WTF? I restarted it.
Then later, on a different laptop of mine, Spotify asked for permission to access my contacts via a MacOS popup. I said no.
Then it asked for permission to access my calendar. I said no and deleted the app.
Spotify looks like it's carrying malware.
