The Joe Rogan Experience is shaping up to be a real world very hurtful experience for many including Spotify ‘s wallet. Despite such the American company has no plans to fully silence the controversial and dishonest podcaster regardless of calls to do so. A memo reportedly released as last week came to an end addressed the controversy internally but appeared to be tone deaf.
“There are no words I can say to adequately convey how deeply sorry I am for the way The Joe Rogan Experience controversy continues to impact each of you. Not only are some of Joe Rogan’s comments incredibly hurtful – I want to make clear that they do not represent the values of this company,” Ek wrote in a memo sent to staff that was obtained by Axios.
“While I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform, I realize some will want more. And I want to make one point very clear – I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer,” the memo said. “We should have clear lines around content and take action when they are crossed, but canceling voices is a slippery slope.
