Joe Rogan gets US$100 million offer from Rumble, a site associated with Donald Trump

Well, this is pretty gross. Rumble, a site that started in Canada (sorry!) and is now a hit with American conservatives who believe that the media is out to get them, says it’ll pony up US$100 million if Joe Rogan bails on Spotify for them. They promise no censorship whatsoever.

Rumble has been around since 2013 and is currently working on an agreement to deliver audio and video streaming for Truth Social, the social media app Donald Trump wants to launch.

It’ll never happen, of course. Spotify wouldn’t have signed its US$100 million deal with Rogan without any kind of non-compete clause. Rumble is just trolling. I think.
