Spotify Introduces New Content Advisory Feature Post Joe Rogan Drama

‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ was in hot waters just weeks ago. Several artists were against ‘Spotify’ hosting Joe Rogan’s podcast on their platform. This resulted in artists like Neil Young leaving Spotify. However, the platform decided against removing Rogan’s podcast. After all, he brings in millions of viewers.

To combat the issue of misinformation that many have accused Rogan of spreading, Spotify took a few steps, like publishing their content policies. However, they haven’t stopped just there. As reported by ‘Tech Crunch‘, the platform has introduced a new content advisory warning on podcasts that discuss the pandemic.

According to the website, the advisory is a blue-colored bar on top of podcasts that discuss the subject. Hence, as of now, more than 1.4 million podcasts come labeled with the content advisory warning. The platform reportedly introduced this new feature in February but took time to appear for some users.

While there was intense pressure on Spotify to take some action against the content discussed on Rogan’s podcasts, the podcaster has been actively rolling out new episodes for his viewers. When he shifted his work to Spotify, it amazed many to know that he had bagged a $100 million deal. But it was quite recently revealed that Rogan made double the amount.

In addition to this, the UFC commentator also made sure to explain his side of the story amidst the controversies surrounding his podcast.
