Deception
(50%)
The article is highly deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that JRE has been a Spotify exclusive since 2020 when it was actually exclusively available on Apple Podcasts until January of this year (2024). Secondly, the author states that JRE consistently ranks as the most-listened-to podcast globally and their users have ranked them as Spotify's Wrapped top podcast each year since 2020. However, according to Apple Podcasts data, JRE was not even in the top 15 most popular shows of all time until January of this year (2024). Thirdly, the author claims that Joe Rogan has changed podcasting but fails to provide any evidence or examples of how he has done so. Lastly, the article is highly promotional and focuses on JRE's partnership with Spotify rather than providing a neutral analysis.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Spotify's exclusivity strategy has changed and citing the company's layoffs of employees from its podcasting unit as evidence. This is a form of hasty generalization because it assumes that all changes in strategy are necessarily bad or negative, without providing any context for why this particular change was made. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating that Rogan's skepticism about Covid-19 has attracted controversy and criticism. This is a form of false dilemma because it presents only two options: either Rogan's views are right or they are wrong, without considering any other perspectives or evidence. Finally, the author uses an informal fallacy by stating that Spotify had fared well with Rogan's exclusivity period and citing statistics about podcast consumption on the platform. This is a form of post hoc ergo propter hoc because it assumes that one event (Rogan's exclusivity) caused another event (increased revenue), without providing any evidence to support this claim.
