Did I miss something? Is this a joke that I missed? I feel like there's got to be some sort of inside joke going on here that I don't understand

If not, and we're taking this at face value, then this is simple math. Joe Rogan makes spotify money.
He was given a contract with spotify to stream on their platform.
.
And the reason he gets it is because He brings in something like 11 million listeners per episode, many (not all) of whom will be premium members, which puts money back in Spotify's pocket month after month. He is literally one of the biggest podcats/streamers/etc in the world. And he is making them a shit ton of money by the mere fact that he exists there and nowhere else.

This isn't rocket science or some kind of big conspiracy or sticking it to the little fella. It's elementary level

And, yes, you can leave if you want to, but if you can't even get 350 plays on your music it seems unlikely that spotify is going to notice you're gone.
Joe Rogan makes money. He gets listeners, and people want to hear him. Maybe instead of trying to cut out the tongues of people who disagree with you, you should think very deeply on what he's actually said, and why that bothers you.
Spoiler alert, he ain't dehumanizing people or calling for violence.
Wait, did Alexander just try to suggest that it's the poor rock stars who are the victims?

Spotify spends 70% of it's music revenue to pay musicians. They spend a small fraction of that on their podcast creators. There is no imbalance there.

Neil Young exercised his right to withdraw. Everyone else can too.
There's talk of Neil Young almost instantly receiving a deal with another broadcaster. Which seems like pretty convenient timing. He had almost no issues sharing spotify with Joe - and dozens of people who regularly express actual terrible ideas - until this moment?

Not saying it's not possible, but will say I'm a skeptic
