JUST IN: Spotify is taking down Neil Young's music after the singer briefly posted an open letter asking for the removal of his work in protest of Joe Rogan's podcast, saying the streaming giant 'is spreading fake information about vaccines.'

Never listened to him anyway.

Not surprised, just disappointed. Spotify values profit over people like most American businesses. There are no rules or regulations to stop the spread of harmful propaganda even when it causes thousands of people to die or commit violence. It's so wrong. 💔

Neil Young pulled this same conformity stunt in the 1970’s. Bands wrote songs about Neil Young’s “misplaced conformity rules.”

Good because he can’t sing, sucks o guitar, and blows on harmonica

Well at least they're equal opportunity fascists. Spotify

Right-on Neil

Sign of the Times.

Hippie movements really flipped. What happened to open exchange of opinions and discussion? neilyoung is now the man. Groovy. Ps-don’t forget he’s hawking his own music platform - hippies love $ too!

How many more musicians will follow?

And I am deleting my Spotify account. See how that works?

I cancelled my Spotify subscription on Wednesday night. There's only one way that they ever get me back. AdiosJoeRogan

No ragrets about canceling my Spotify subscription over a year ago.

This move meets Punk Auditor's approval 👍 (... regardless of his motivation. 😎)

Might pull out the Spot remover... in support of Neil...

Wow Spotify thanks but no thanks blowing a huge hole in my 1970’s Laurel Canyon playlists. All this whining and greed isn’t worthy continuing with you. AppleMusic will fill the gap nicely and I get 4 free months as a new user. Bye!

As in right now right now, went to test it and a track stopped playing with a “removed…” 30 seconds in

Baby shark next?

Neil who?

The billionaire parasite controlled media trying to divide us and cause civil unrest.

Spotify has a $100 million contract with Rogan and that is the sole basis for their decision. Nothing to do with integrity, values, free speech, or truth.

Damn what a boss Neilyoung !!

Never listen to them anyway…

The steroids are finally taking effect on Rogan...

I guess I’m going to listen to Spotify and, not listen to neither Joe Rogan or, Neil Young.

Streaming Neil Young on AppleMusic to support his courage ❤️

It’s a free world anybody can say what they want…why would you want to silence somebody if your such a so called free thinker liberal

Seriously didn't know he was still alive. 🤷

They chose… poorly.

Never have used spot.. never will now

I was thinking of getting Spotify- not now.

Keep on rockin' in the free world somewhere else, Neilyoung

I canxed my prescription a long time ago when they contracted with Rogan… not that it meant anything.

He Neil why don’t you let the people decide for themselves we aren’t as dumb as Hollywood and the music industry think we are.

Yeah I mean why listen to a show that has doctors,neurologist,physicists,scientists, authors,nutritionist,trainers,human rights activists,right and left wing political analyst, psychologist,anthropologist, innovators, successful entrepreneurs.where is the value in that shit😂

Who is Joe Rogan and what is Spotify? Truth is in Young’s DNA he’s tried of all of the Bull$*

Money talks

Paid for premium since Spotify began. Not that big of a Neil Young fan and I will miss Hail Satan podcast. But bye bye Spotify. Spotify

Canceling Spotify

boycottspotify

Spotify chose profits over people

I mean he's right, but no way they would have sided with him.

A win for free speech and a fail of big tech censorship. Wahoo

I do love it when the Cancel Culture Woke Liberals get cancelled. Ahh poetic justice!

Jerks. Neil Young is one of the good guys.

Awesome. I love it.

Well the Information given at first about COVID, was inaccurate. This was coming from the Dr. trying to push the vaccinations.

Your headline on NPR website is misleading - implies Spotify was penalizing Young for objecting. Should say 'Spotify complies with Neil Young's request to remove his music in objection to Joe Rogan's podcast'

😂😂😂

So they believe in Rogans lies rather than Young’s music. Disappointing.

Cool.

I deleted Spotify app from my phone a couple of weeks ago when I found out Rogan was on there.

Glad I never supported their platform spotifysux

I applaud EACH SIDE for standing up to what they believe is the right decision.

spotiQ

F Spotify and Joe Rogan Thank you Neil Young

Boomers are gonna be angry!

“Southern man don’t need him around anyhow” — a response to Neil’s lyrics about the Southerners turning a blind eye to the Klan and lynchings, while also claiming to follow the God. Those citing these lyrics are either too dumb to know what they’re quoting or worse, they do know

Thanks to Neil Young for standing against vaccine misinformation and anti-vaxers!

And I will be canceling my subscription and removing the Spotify app from all my devices

Goodbye Spotify goodbyespotify

Half of you do not even know who Neil Young is

I just deleted the app.

You Go Neil... other artists should follow your lead!

Some turned up, few more pls. A little love for short stories and the will to help people is all I need, can you buy my book to help me, Check my pinned tweet for further details. Thank you, RT if you can, I need this out there. Limited help only♥️😇

Never bow to a diva who is pitching a fit. Good call Spotify.

I hate Spotify! Deleted the app!

The only person who loses, is Neil Young

Deleted Spotify upon hearing this. They chose incorrectly so F them!!

Is 'Spotify' still a thing?

Can they simply yeet Rogan into the sun rather than this? I mean... His followers will still tune in to his roasting corpse so long as they think he's microdosing...

As Amy_Siskind said, I wish I had a Spotify account to cancel. And I’ll certainly never consider getting or giving one.

Good job spotify, you made the right decision 👏🏾🙌🏾

Spotify is the exclusive host of dangerous and damaging propaganda.

We need the hippie generation to die off so we don't have to listen to this ranting nonsense, like what they say even matters.

Money Morality according to Spotify because of the revenue. I'm happy to cancel my subscription.

Bye bye Spotify 🎵🎵🎵

Spotify is all in on BS? Deleting their app.

CEO for Spotify is Daniel Elk: eldsjal who sides with an alt right propaganda podcast, rather than Neil Young, a fkng rock legend. I sure don’t need them or SpotifyWrapped not like they pay the artists featured fairly anyways…

Yes !

Downloaded their App, grateful they are standing up for free speech and the free and fair exchange of ideas! Imagine where we would be, historically, if those that have thought outside the 📦 were shut down like people want to do to Rogan

Wow Spotify chooses to kill people with COVID19 misinformation instead of doing the right thing? cancelspotify 🤨

Young stands to lose $347.58

Spotify to safety and truth: 'No thanks Money money money.'

I mean, isn’t that peoples own problem if they want to listen to him for medical advice? 🤷‍♀️

All alphas red pill...

Spotify dump Joe R! I freakin’ love NeilYoung!

I am fine never listening to SpotifyUSA . YouTube has all the Neilyoung I need.

So basically Spotify is choosing covid misinformation over a music legend.

I'm hoping there are a few more artists who can afford to do the same thing.

BoycottSpotify

Would love to see other musicians follow his example.

He asked them to choose between him and Rogan, and they did. Report it accurately. That’s what we inexplicably pay you for.

Umm , people still use Spotify ?

Sheesh. It's like of like 'Southern man don't need him around anyhow', all over again.

KUDOS to NeilYoung... polio GetVaccinatedNow

And I read the Spotify pays very low to artists in comparison to other platforms. Good for him!

I'm with Neil

I’ve already closed my account.

time to cancel your spotify subscription.

I'm sticking with Neil Young.

It sucks Neil Young would hurt his fans to virtue signal in an attempt to silence those whose opinions he disagrees with... and I say this as someone who doesn't give a fuck about Joe Rogan.

LOVE NEIL YOUNG!

Deleted Spotify.

You go Neil!!!

Good for Neil!

The irony of this is that joerogan was factually correct about young men who get the jab having a higher risk of myocarditis than young men who don’t get the jab. But if Neilyoung wants to lose money to virtue signal on behalf of the establishment, that is his right.

Go with TIDAL

Reminds me of a Guy whose wife said 'IT'S ME OR THE METH!' Guy responds 'THE METH!'

Spotify took down NeilYoung and I took down Spotify.

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesHas it, though? On the one side you've got the people who have legal control over all the necessary resources to live, and on the other, people who can only withhold their labor. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Great except this is accelerating inflation - if companies pay their ee’s more they have to raise prices to cover the add’l cost (they aren’t going to choose to make less $). People think they are wealthier but they are actually poorer bc everything costs more.

NPR Cookie Consent and Choicesdidn't biden say that if you got vaccinated you wouldn't get covid? 'The administration has changed some Medicare rules during the pandemic, including improving access to telehealth services and nursing home care, said David Lipschutz, associate director and senior policy attorney at the Center for Medicare Advocacy.' Sad that the most vulnerable aren't covered cuz the gov can't profit from it. Unless ur turning ur slave wages over to uncle Sam then ur about useless in America. Land of opportunity indeed!
