Neil Young: "Rogan or me."

This is all getting a little too condescending- “we must save the rubes’ feeble minds from themselves”

I like listening to people I don’t agree with or those with non-mainstream ideas.

Spotify Removes 70 Episodes of ‘Joe Rogan Experience’; Podcast Host Apologizes for Using N-Word

"... Spotify has pulled an additional 70 episodes of the popular podcaster’s show from the platform.

The 70 episodes removed Friday were originally recorded between 2009 and 2018 ..."

The article does not say anything about the above having any impact on the financials of the Spotify-Rogan deal, so presumably Spotify is still paying Rogan as if none of these has happened.

@axtremus I wonder if Spotify has the equivalent of a "morals clause" whereby they can terminate the contract if something the does reflects poorly on the company.

That’s why I follow almost every flat earther on Twitter

Just saw this. I wonder if it has to do with Rogan and a new platform.

I just think he's a tool. Bit too much of a convert's zeal. FWIW, I don't follow him, that was a 'you might like' suggested tweet shown to me by twitter's algorithm.

"This is our chance to save the world," Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski wrote. "And yes, this is totally legit."

I hope they save it.

Shucks, why not?

LOL. I missed it when they left, but it looks like they're back

Crosby, Stills & Nash music can now be streamed on Spotify once again, five months after David Crosby, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills requested their labels remove their recordings in support of Neil Young‘s decision to leave the streaming service.

Their music is available via Spotify as of Saturday (July 2). CSN will donate proceeds from streams to COVID-19 charities for at least a month, a source tells Billboard.

In February, the band members commented, “We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify’s Joe Rogan podcast. While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music — or the music we made together — to be on the same platform.”
