We’re seeing very strong user growth across the world, and Spotify’s ad machine stands ready to unlock huge value for creators, publishers, and advertisers, Dawn noted. Over the long term, we expect ad revenue to be more than 10 billion annually. While Spotify has managed to avoid the same level of scrutiny as fellow tech giants such as Facebook and Twitter for years, the firestorm of controversy surrounding Rogan has put the streaming giant at the center of a renewed public debate over the platform companies give to characters like Rogan. Advertising is now poised to become a key growth driver. Rogan also promised to add more guests with "differing opinions."

"I can't go back in time and change what I've said, I wish I could, obviously that's not possible," Rogan added. He added that he hasn't used the racial slur "in years" and "never used it to be racist," though he acknowledged that "I clearly have f- up." "Now I know that to most people, there's no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast, and I agree with that," Rogan said.
