I don’t think he’s restricting himself to people that use spotify, yes some people won’t make the jump but I know I will, just like many avid listeners will — but in addition I’m sure the move to spotify will attract new listeners. Perhaps people who only read the nonsense that gets printed about him and never gave him a fair shake.
I guess I get what you are trying to say but I respectfully disagree as he still owns the rights to the podcast and has complete control. I don’t know what he was making off his couple of advertisers but I doubt it would have ever equated anywhere close to 100 million.
Furthermore, if at anytime Joe feels like he’s being taken advantage of, I guarantee he’d have no qualms about walking away from spotify.
