The traffic to the cancellation page for Spotify Premium has jumped in recent weeks as the audio streaming company faces a wave of backlash over its support for podcaster Joe Rogan, an analytics firm told CNN. The analytics firm, SimilarWeb, told CNN Tuesday night that it had seen traffic to the cancellation page spike 196% week-over-week in its most recent set of data.
That set of data compared traffic from the week starting on January 17 to traffic from the week starting January 24. In the week of the 17th, 39,924 visits to the page were recorded. In the week of the 24th, 118,168 visits were recorded.
Seema Shah, who leads SimilarWeb's research team, told CNN that she hasn't seen something like this in Spotify's history. "This is a huge spike," she said. "It implies people were passionate about the issue and took immediate action. We'll see if it keeps rising." The traffic, which has shown no signs of slowing down, could also ramp up as Rogan continues to face criticism for having used racial slurs in episodes of "The Joe Rogan Experience" years ago. Rogan, whose contract with Spotify is worth a reported $100 million, apologized on Saturday for using the slurs on Saturday, admitting he "f***ed up."
Joe Rogan is worth about a billion $s. 100million isn't the end all be all for him. Indeed, AJ said today Joe's happy and thinking about building his own network like him if he has to.

An extra 80,000 people in their BIG week of cancellations. Prolly the entire viewership of CNN, so what do you expect to see?

> apologized on Saturday for using the slurs on Saturday, admitting he "f***ed up that's were he screwed up. he should have never bent the knee. why haven't people realized that all you do with an apology with leftists/woke folk is give them more power over you.
Nathan Long
This.
I fact I hope they do dump him. I hated his move there and I'd rather see him start his own platform or move somewhere like Odysee.
Justin Allen
What was even the point of apologizing, the people that get upset about Rogan aren't the type to watch him in the first place. All he gained by cucking is people that actually watched him losing respect for him.
I was really expecting more from him, he's not a newbie to this, should have known that you don't ever apologize to people that want to cancel you.
Isaiah Garcia
Lmfao man has more money that you and I will ever see in our lives you really think a spotify ban would stop him? Laughable
Jonathan Sanchez
Hope he stays long enough to crash spotify before jumping to a greener pasture

>discord trannies hire indian bot farms to visit the cancelation page so this article can be written >no actual cancelations >more people subscribe to listen to Joe rogan They're getting desperate
This is all bullshit. There is NO mass exodus from Spotify. Period. Until they provide proof it’s an absolute lie. Most people know what they said on those podcasts was absolutely true. Especially the nigger part.

Genuine question: Could the american gov't take him off the air, even temporally? It'd be great if the shut him off, at least until the pandemic's over.
Sebastian Reed
I know Lincoln did it, and I'm guessing so did FDR, but I'm curious.
Levi Bennett
>at least until the pandemic is over Motherfucker there is no pandemic and there never really was. If you weren’t told about it 26382 times a day, you wouldn’t even know covid existed.
Adrian Barnes
Yes. They just gotta put pressure on Spotify's host
Thomas Robinson
Lincoln removed a guy from Spotify for interviewing a guy who spoke the truth? Weird. No one remembers that.
But we do remember his huge mistake of releasing niggers into our society.
