Consider this: Joe Rogan gets something like 200 million downloads per month. Taylor Swift gets someething around 105 million listens per month. He also helps draw a customer that Taylor Swift definitely doesn't (simply because millions of people do not consume music, or are interested in it at all.. strange, i know) https://www.billboard.com/business/streaming/taylor-swift-spotify-streams-how-m uch-worth-1235524477/ This link says that Taylor Swift easily makes the amount of money Joe Rogan does for a similar draw, and by and far significantly more when albums are released.. It's really an apples to oranges comparison, but I don't think Joe Rogan is being overpaid for what he brings to Spotify.. He probably earns them similar moeny to what Taylor Swift does. That's pretty impressive to me. https://atonce.com/blog/how-many-people-listen-to-joe-rogan https://www.unilad.com/music/news/taylor-swift-is-the-most-listened-to-artist-i n-the-world-on-spotify-163930-20231102 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/12/25 (Windows/32) * Origin: cold fusion - cfbbs.net - grand rapids, mi (21:1/616) .
