Long ago I canceled my spotify because they were giving millions to Joe Rogan, but not the artist actually making music. You could spend a year making a solid album and make a fraction of what some dude that just spews gibberish makes in one episode.
Spotify is not just a music platform but a podcast platform too. I'll bet they make a good amount from Rogan's show. I don't see what the big deal is about giving money to the podcaster making podcasts instead of the artist making music.
The comment was more of social commentary on the fact that a group of people could spend a year of their lives doing something like making an album of music, and make substantially less money than someone that just makes up facts for 1 hour.
