How does Neil Young's temper tantrum hurt Joe Rogan or spotify? Spotify sides with Joe Rogan.
Looks like Joe Rogan is the winner...
Looks like Joe Rogan is the winner...
This past Monday, Neil Young publicly demanded that Spotify remove his music. While Young famously withdrew much of his catalog from the streaming service years ago because he was dissatisfied with the sound quality, this new request was for an entirely different reason: his outrage over Spotify’s popular podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, which Young argued has been “spreading fake information about vaccines — potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them.”
In his open letter, the “This Note’s for You” singer wrote: “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform. They can have Rogan or Young. Not both.”
It took two days, but according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Spotify is now heeding the musician’s ultimatum — siding with Rogan in this feud and removing the more than 40 Young albums that, as of Jan. 26, were still available to stream on the service. Young’s management lodged a formal request with Spotify on Wednesday to delete those albums, according to WSJ, although the removal process may take several hours to compete.
