Rumble, a video-sharing platform, has come up with an offer for him on Twitter.

Several artists have raised their voices against the Joe Rogan Experience. Thus, Spotify has removed many episodes of the JRE podcast. Although the podcast remains on Spotify, many of Rogan’s supporters have criticized the move and want the UFC commentator to move to other platforms. However, Rogan has not responded to the offer yet.

In 11 years before moving to Spotify, the podcast expanded rapidly and became a platform for discussions on a variety of topics. Apart from MMA guests, the podcast has had guests from various fields of expertise. This has included the likes of Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Lance Armstrong, and many more. Hence, Rogan may have no qualms about going solo once more.

How big is Rumble and would Joe Rogan benefit from it?

The Canada-based video platform started in 2013 and gathered around 39 million active monthly users last January.

In comparison, Spotify, which has been around since 2006, has 406 million monthly active users and 180 million paid subscribers. Hence, it is a much bigger platform than Rumble.

It would be surprising if Joe Rogan accepts this offer as it would decrease his audience significantly.

Rogan and Spotify are actively working to clear the air around the controversy. However, things are not looking good after people keep bringing up clips of things the former Fear Factor host said over the past 13 years. Even the Spotify CEO sent a memo to the staff regarding the controversy.
