5 Reasons Joe Rogan Just Isn't The Same On Spotify

1. Another Platform

A look at comments section, or lack thereof, on Spotify leads nicely into the wider point of this all being a bit of an inconvenience, particularly if you weren’t already using Spotify for music and/or podcasts, or if you were getting your JRE audio fix from Apple, for example.

This is a particular issue for those who might want to skip the ads, the price of premium subscriptions to both Spotify and YouTube is not insignificant, and suddenly having to deal with interruptions to JRE that you didn’t before can be quite jarring.

The fact that you are not linked to further videos, including shorter format ones is another minus for Spotify. The beautifully eclectic mix that makes up the JRE fan base created some fantastically weird suggestions through the YouTube algorithm, and cross-cultural conversation.

Whilst a lot of the points on this list can potentially be put down to teething problems, this is the one that could see the JRE train come unstuck slightly. Unfortunately, Spotify aren’t as transparent with its number of views on each video as YouTube, but early anecdotal evidence suggests a substantial number of JRE fans have not made the migration between platforms.
