Goodbye to Joe and Young Jamie

While I usually skip the ads at the beginning, I had my hands full when I was listening to a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (link will expire) and learned they'll be switching to Spotify.

Some articles that came up in my newsreader over the last few days confirmed it.

I have my issues with the podcast at times, but its popularity means that it attracts people I want to hear from or about.

Unfortunately, I just can't get onboard with these bent on surveillance/data mining silos that have taken over the once-open(-ish) web.

I'll continue to enjoy the podcast while it's available from ITunes, but then I'm out.
