Spotify is reportedly fighting with employees about hosting episodes of Joe Rogan's podcast that some staff consider transphobic

Sources shared questions with Vice that had been submitted for the Q&A portion of the meeting. These questions, which shortened the name of the podcast to JRE, suggest friction is building between Spotify's leadership and its staff over the podcast. "Many LGBTQAI+/ally Spotifiers feel unwelcome and alienated because of leadership's response in JRE conversations. What is your message to those employees?" read another.

"Joe Rogan and the episode in question have been reviewed extensively," Ek said in the all-hands. "The fact that we aren't changing our position doesn't mean we aren't listening. It just means we made a different judgment call."

Great. Adult's who can't handle different opinions.

So the ignorant morons, who probably haven't even listened to the podcasts in question, are trying to censor something they don't like. Sounds very book-burny, how progressive and forward thinking! There r things on Spotify I don't like, you know what I do? Don't listen to them!

Are they talking about when Joe said things like trans women shouldn't be allowed to beat the crap out of biological women in mma?

Better face your fears then lol

So don’t listen to those episodes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a bunch of snowflakes

Progressives are poison. Why did Spotify make this deal with Rogan in the first place? Rogan is the draw, Spotify is a commodity as the platform. Go elsewhere Joe.

They really hated the presidential debate thing.
