This is pretty strange coming from a dude who talks about how corporatism and monopolies are bad for us regular humans in every other episode. Either he's planning something or he just sold out. Either way, podcasting will stay as long we keep it alive. Rogan wants to move to a closed ecosystem, fine, that's one less podcast for me to subscribe to!
Edit: one thing we can do as consumers is to stop paying for a company that's trying to take over an open medium.
The problem with collaborations is that we either treat them as a dictatorship or a democracy and neither works. At some point we give up on certain things because it's too much work versus too many other people, maybe we've vetoed too many other things and we - or others - feel less entitled to keep doing it, so we don't say anything or they try to go around us when we aren't looking.
I know some of the stuff I complain loudest about online is motivated by an argument I'm presently losing somewhere else. It's hard to look at what someone says in public and know if that's how they really feel, or them reacting to something that is off balance by leaning farther in the other direction than they would unprompted.
That said, where do most people watch the JRE? Is it Youtube? Youtube is Google, and if someone wants to argue that Spotify is the little guy compared to Google, I don't know how to talk someone out of that idea. Are we on a road to "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?" Are we already there?
Doesn't make it not a monopoly and it's still bad for consumers (on the first order, on the second order allegedly it enables the producers to create more content).

My guess is he's looking at his stand-up revenue approaching zero so needs to find something to replace it.
I've wondered what performance professionals are going to do.
