Some of Joe Rogan's advertisers are sticking with the popular podcaster's Spotify show despite the Alex Jones controversy

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek stood by Rogan's decision to interview Jones,"We want creators to create. It's what they do best. We're not looking to play a role in what they should say."

Business Insider asked more than 25 companies that have advertised on Rogan's show in recent months, including Blue Moon, Squarespace, Harry's and Unilever's energy drink supplement brand Liquid I.V., if they would change their advertising plans in response to the Alex Jones episode. Most did not respond to requests for comment.

"SimpliSafe does advertise by way of live reads on Joe Rogan's podcast. However, we did not advertise on the controversial episode featuring Alex Jones," said Don LeBlanc, chief commercial officer at the home security company. "We continue to have a good relationship with Joe, but have no influence over who he chooses to feature on this show."

"Traeger's advertising investments do not imply any endorsement to the political views of a given program or guests of the program," a company spokesman told Business Insider. "Traeger exists to serve a wide-ranging audience who share a love for bringing people together over good food."

I can’t believe the sponsors stuck with CBS after they interviewed Gaddafi on 60 Minutes!

White trash are essentially adult teenagers: they don't have much money, but it's all discretionary, since Nana's social security check pays all the bills. Boycott away.

Alex Jones got a bit drunk and rowdy at one point. This is of course a highly controversial event. In other words, Headline stating nothing whatsoever has happened beyond this headline
