Dec 1st was the planned date for all of this for awhile. He should have been reminding people the whole time though.

you are confusing his being a not very bright, but funny and charismatic person, for all the characteristics you mention in your post
joe is the definition of a dumb jock - except he has massive fame and does a lot of drugs

Definitely going to miss the clips on YouTube. A lot of times I would decide if I wanted to listen to an episode by watching a couple clips from it first. I downloaded the Spotify app but it won't even open if you don't have cell service which is pretty lame when you live in the sticks like I do. I'm a sporadic listener anyway so we'll see if I actually listen much going forward or not.

we've had a spotify family account for four years (which honestly is a pretty awesome value, and I initially resisted). not a single one of you would turn down $100M to do the same. from what i've heard, the only difference for non-spotify people is having to listen to ads, which as long as they're still at the beginning, are more of an annoyance than a real problem

I'm sure Joe or whoever was ultimately managing him was savvy enough to compare the cash that YouTube was paying him per video based on average views vs what the Spotify contract was offering and it was just that Spotify was more $. It's always about what is the most $, which is sad because he really did offer such a cutting edge and cherished thing to the fanbase, but that's how the business world operates.
He'll gain some subs with this move but far FAR less won't sub.
Does anyone know if the contract was a lump sum up front kinda thing? I assume it was... or rather more likely a mix of upfront lump with per-show-per viewer count percentage. Because if he is ONLY getting paid per episode based on viewership after nixing his YouTube... uh oh sketty-ohs. I just wish him well; he's really an amazing dude and top-tier interviewer.

it probably is a 100m contract, but with any contract there will be certain stipulations. probably one of which is views/new member growth. they gauge what his views are on Youtube, then use that as a ceiling for Spotify potential. if his Spotify views/new members reach or exceed his YT subs then whatever amount they promised him he gets. if he were to fail in reaching those numbers his payout will be some lower tier. maybe much lower. if he faces a backlash and he has faced a few so far it could hamper those numbers. either way, if he sucks air for the entirety of his contract his payday will still most likely insure he is a wealthy man for the rest of his life.

lulz spotify is fucking annoying w/ the ads
the 4 front loaded ads, i learned you can't just skip, or the podcast goes BACK to the first ad, so you gotta let each ad play for 5s(or 10?) first then click next, next, next.
i don't have premium, or nuttin, but i listen to other podcasts on spotify and until jre came along there were no ads for podcast (that i listen to), yes there are ads for music (i don't use spotify for that... you search for "final fantasy distant worlds - to zandarkand by nobuo uematsu" and you get garbage), but podcasts and music are a separate category
