Umair, this is another article where your anger and anxiety bleed through. I feel I’m consistently being yelled at while reading. Is this your intent?

A few points from me:

- Your math is completely wrong throughout the entire piece on what Joe Rogan is paid vs what Spotify earns. It’s a very lucrative deal for Spotify. And, 11M per episode is an average - I guarantee you there are episodes that garner twice or even triple times that amount.

- Near the beginning, you mention that Joe Rogan makes more than Taylor Swift or Adele, signalling that because Rogan is a man, he is making more - but you do not expand on this point. What makes you believe that? What evidence do you have to show this?

I would sincerely urge you to think through your articles more. It is an unpleasant reading expereince - maybe I’m alone on that as you have many subscribers!
