Spotify has raised prices for the second time in a year, with no new benefits, after its CEO sparked outrage by claiming the cost of creating 'content' is 'close to zero' (www.techradar.com)

they continue to partner with Rogan

They don't anymore.

Though I am far more concerned with Spotify's attempts to destroy what is otherwise a last bastion of internet freedom with their exclusive podcasts.

[–] twig@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They do, but not as an exclusive. This year Spotify signed a deal with him worth 250M.

But also yeah, I can appreciate that sentiment.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

Ah, last I heard the deal had just expired. Now they're paying him even more money than before? And for what reason?

At least it sounds like that Spotify exclusive bullshit is dead?
