Joe Rogan Clarifies the Controversy Surrounding Alex Jones Appearance on the Joe Rogan Exper … – EssentiallySports

UFC commentator Joe Rogan took to Instagram and commented on the most recent controversy that has surrounded his podcast platform. The host of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast recently featured right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for a sit-down. As a result, Spotify, who signed a deal of up to $100 million with Joe Rogan, has come under heavy fire.

Chiefly, Spotify and other major platforms came in at de-platforming Alex Jones for Hate Speech back in 2018. Jones is a magnet for controversy as he has built a career around his fiery hot takes and conspiracy theories. His show Infowars was at this helm of the brand that Alex had created.

Spotify users have called out the streaming service for double standards, as theyre wondering why Jones is back on their platform. The companys chief legal officer and head of global affairs in Horacio Gutierrez spoke out on the situation, saying that Spotify wouldnt ban specific individuals.

The long-time UFC broadcaster used his massive social media platform to provide some clarity to the situation. In addition to the aforementioned contention, the episode that Jones appeared on swiftly disappeared from the site. This understandably caused the pot to boil over, and Rogan was quick to lay it out.

Whats more, he also clarified a controversial aspect of their discussion involving the COVID-19 vaccine. The two debated the possible dangers of consuming the vaccine in the test phase, and Alex Jones had some interesting things to say. Jones views once again stirred up a larger conversation, and Joe Rogan shared an IGTV clip that sees Bill Gates corroborate some of his information.

The situation surrounding Jones appearance on the Podcast has led to some much-expected chatter around the same. The increased exposure largely stems from the fact that Rogan has the biggest podcasting platform in the world. Furthermore, as his viewership grows, there is no doubt that the future holds more fervent conversations around Joes content.
