Right-wing YouTube competitor offers Joe Rogan $100M to leave Spotify

Rumble, a YouTube competitor popular among conservative politicans and public figures, is offering Joe Rogan $100 million to leave Spotify for its platform. “We stand with you, your guests, and your legion of fans in desire for real conversation,” wrote Rumble’s CEO Chris Pavlovski on Twitter. “How about you bring all your shows to Rumble, both old and new, with no censorship, for 100 million bucks over four years?”

“All your shows” presumably includes the 113 problematic episodes that Joe Rogan removed since last Friday according to a tracking site dedicated to the Joe Rogan Experience. The removed episodes contain repeated use of the n-word and one instance where Rogan compared a black neighborhood in Philadelphia to Planet of the Apes. A compilation of particularly egregious clips was posted by musician India Arie.
