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.

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.

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.”

Neil Young has posted an open letter to his management team and record label demanding that they remove his music from Spotify. “I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” he writes. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.”
“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he continues. “They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.” Young is referencing the steady stream of misinformation about vaccines that Joe Rogan has peddled on The Joe Rogan Experience. Last month, 270 doctors, physicians, and science educators signed an open letter asking Spotify to stop spreading Rogan’s baseless claims.
“With an estimated 11 million listeners per episode, JRE, which is hosted exclusively on Spotify, is the world’s largest podcast and has tremendous influence,” the letter reads. “Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no misinformation policy.”
Young removed most of his music from Spotify several years ago because he felt the sound quality on the service was too low, but he ultimately relented. “That’s where people get music,” he told Rolling Stone in 2019. “I want people to hear my music no matter what they have to get through to do it. I’m just trying to make it so they hear a lot more and enjoy it a lot more, but sell it for the same price because music is music.”
Well, what does the contract say?

Good for him. I wonder if he redd the Atlantic article that Mik posted here?
This is great. What the world needs is more celebs coming forward this way.
Assuming his accusations are accurate, of course.
