Joe Rogan and his Spotify issue keep getting bigger. Until now, it was Neil Young who wanted the platform to decide whether to keep Rogan’s podcasts or his music. Unfortunately, Young’s songs were taken down. However, Rogan’s podcasts have offended another person who wants them removed. Like Young, she too has given the platform an ultimatum to choose between her or the podcaster.
According to a Twitter account, Barbara Streisand wants Spotify to decide to remove either Rogan or her music. If the news is true, then one might wonder if it is going to work; especially after they removed Young’s music.

Something tells me this is gonna cause the Streisand effect
It’s literally named after her but I guess she didn’t learn the first time https://t.co/WjLg2A2Sgk

Shields was referring to the Streisand effect that was named after the singer. Years ago, she tried to contain the images of her residence from circulating. However, it had the opposite effect. It brought more attention to her house and thus the phenomenon took her name. As a result, Jake Shields feels the Streisand effect could happen once again.
Noooooo. Not @BarbaraStreisand – please Lord make it stop. What icon will pull their music next? Crash test dummies? The Buggles? What wIll we listen to? Maybe we can find someone to sing “Horst Wessle lied.” We can burn books and silence all decent! @joerogan https://t.co/W22tq5VQVo
