The legal regime around music licensing makes breaking even - let alone turning a profit - nearly impossible. Therefore, Spotify has an incentive to keep people using Spotify - just not for music. The law and economics of music streaming lead to one inevitable result: Spotify pays money when it streams music. That Spotify would stand by a show that consistently undermines vaccines and blithely spreads misinformation is disappointing–but, financially, it’s perfectly predictable. Spotify, for its part, has stood firmly by Rogan.
