Stupid and not conducive to the conversation.

Wait, don’t you loathe Rubin?
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.

DON’T let them eat cake.

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.”

“Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no misinformation policy.”
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.

Neil Young Will Return to Spotify, Ending Protest of Joe Rogan
Neil Young will return his music to Spotify, two years after withdrawing it in protest over the podcast host Joe Rogan’s shows about Covid-19, the veteran rock musician announced on his website Tuesday.
Without naming Rogan, Young wrote: “My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at Spotify.” Rogan previously had an exclusive deal with Spotify, which has since been renewed to allow wider distribution of his show.
IOW, "My principles apply to Spotify, but since Apple and Amazon are doing it too, I guess I'll cave."
And this:
Last year, in an analysis of how Young’s streaming activity had changed since withdrawing his music from Spotify, Billboard estimated that the protest had cost him about $16,000 in royalties per month.

Guess the dollar wins out over his principles.
I seriously doubt he cares about the money.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Money talks, bullshit walks.
He makes millions a year outside of Spotify. The 16k a month is a drop in the bucket for him.

I suspect you're right.
So, why the return? What's changed?
