Spotify Rolls Out A COVID19 Disclosure Tab…. What Took Them So Long

I haven’t written about Spotify for a while now. At least not since the whole Joe Rogan thing blew up. But I’m writing about it today because according to CNBC Spotify is rolling out a COVID19 disclosure tab in content that mentions COVID19.

Spotify is rolling out a Covid content advisory tab on podcasts and other content that mentions the coronavirus.

Spotify promised the feature, a small blue tab that directs to its Covid-19 information hub, nearly two months ago. It comes after a handful of musicians and creators boycotted the platform for its airing of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which they say spread Covid-19 vaccine misinformation.

So why did it take them two months to roll this out? The fact that it took them this long would be laughable if it weren’t so serious. You have to wonder if they really take this seriously. My guess is no.
