The digital media company 'Spotify' recently spent $100 million to bring the highly popular Joe Rogan podcast into its fold. Rogan's long-form interviews with interesting guests were drawing hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, making his show a valuable commodity. Rogan's show has been on Spotify for less than a month, and employees at the company are already demanding editorial control over his content, and even censorship.
