Young sold the rights to his music years ago. He doesn't have controlling interest in what is done with his music. He sold out.... again.
Spotify and Joe Rogan

If he sold out, how is he capable of managing who has access to his music?
Not defending the guy, just don't understand the take. If I bought something from you, I wouldn't just let you say what I can or can't do with it, unless the people he sold it to saw the profitability of such a move. Wouldn't surprise me with the way modern corporations work. Anything to rile up the masses.

Because he's a burnt out hippie. He didn't remember he sold the rights. Spotify took it off out of kindness. The co that bought the rights could of pushed for it but Neil couldn't of done **** because this is actually the 2nd time he's wanted his music pulled from Spotify but they told him to tamp salt the first time.
You do know that if you sell the rights to your music you lose the rights to that music right?
Well Nash is right before Young in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. CSNY was a band in '60s-70s. Joni Mitchell of the same era.
I'm with ya on the rest.
LOL, I actually did not know what Spotify was until this incident.
That is not necessarily true. It depends on what exactly Young sold (masters? publishing? etc.) and also whether he contractually retained any rights or say in distribution.
BTW, Neil Young is not just some "burnt out hippie". He's one of the more significant rock/musical artists of the last half century. His culture importance is much higher than Rogan or any current opinion "influencer". As I said earlier in this thread, people will be listening to his music long after Rogan is forgotten.
Decent points but the fact that none of the artists are in your playlist is blatantly irrelevant. What does that have to do with anything. That’s just musical taste and nothing else. Spotify probably has one of the widest ranges of subscribers out there.
Gosh, I wonder if liberals or conservatives are to blame for politicalization of COVID. What factors could we possibly consider??
Did Joe rogan ever have michael avanetti on? Oh he didn't
Keep on knocking down the free world! Da dunt dunt da da da.
If Spotify loses the Yentl soundtrack Im out.
I didn't know who Joe Rogan was either. I thought they were talking about the guy who is an actor. Turns out his name is Seth.
Neil Young built a career persona on opposing authoritarianism, then sold out at the end and became one himself. Joe Rogan simply questioned the government, which is always a good thing to do. ALWAYS! When you face censorship for doing it, something is seriously wrong.
The left doesn't want people thinking for themselves. Opposing views are increasingly being censored on social media and near non-existent in the 90+% of the MSM they control and use to control the narrative and spew leftist propaganda. Any information channel that questions their ideology is a threat and must be destroyed. The ideology can't stand on it's own merits.
NY is catering to modern leftists and following their playbook. Many of them have never heard of him and most of those who have are ignorant and still think he's some kind of liberal hero. I don't know how much he'll gain from this stunt, but if he's going to have any relevance with the modern left, it's exactly the thing to do.

When a bunch of elitist lefties feel the need to shut down someone who encourages others on a large scale to think for themselves something ain’t right. Fear of dissent during the Omicron variant does not make much sense. Lefties like to belittle and shame dissent. It’s not clever, but is predictable.
Neil Young hates gay people. Very homophobic
I have yet to see CNN cover the New York City mayor that used a racial slur…not surprised.
They probably have the same relationship with him that they had with Cuomo.
Fascism you say? You mean like the book bans and book burnings the right is currently doing in America? That was a popular tactic of Nazis in the 1930s and 40s
Unless the media is government owned, then it's not a violation of the first amendment.
You literally could not be more wrong.
1) Apple Music is available on iOs, MacOS, Android, and Windows as well as on SOnos and Amazon Echo devices.
2) Google Play Music DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE AS OF DECEMBER 2020. Everything has been moved over to YouTube Music, which is available as an app for iOs and Android or thru a web browser.
3) Apple Music also has the biggest music library, 75 million to 70 million tracks.

People should really look into all the investments and holdings of blackrock. Their tendrils are in everything and that's just what's public. One can only guess at what they're investing or funding that isn't required to report it (ie non public companies)
Yeah? How many android users are using Apple Music, do you think?
Also Spotify has 82 million..
Not according to my research it doesn't. The article I included was posted just 4 days ago.
This one from 5 days ago it's 90+ million to 70+ million in favor of Apple Music
This article posted today says it's 90 million to 75 million in favor of Apple Music
Apple Music has over 50 million installs according to the Play Store. I tried finding articles that discussed active users but that's all I could come up with.
But that's not what you said, you said Spotify was platform agnostic while Apple Music isn't. Most people play their music on computers or mobile devices. Apple Music is available on every major OS just like Spotify is. If Spotify is platform agnostic, then so is Apple Music.
I would be absolutely floored if 50 million Android users are using Apple Music lol.
First wave did not work. Now we are supposed to believe Joe Rogan is racist after all of these years of podcasts? The left is ugly.
Folks on both the left and right ban useful books. And it sucks.
Is it bad if I just don’t give a flying **** about any of it in either direction?
For over a decade his comedy was highly offensive and only moderately funny. Only now it's an issue, when he angered the wrong mob
