On Monday, key people leading the popular science podcast "Science Vs" wrote a letter to Spotify Chief Executive Daniel Ek, saying the company's support of Rogan's podcast felt like " a slap in the face." And on Tuesday, two more music artists, Graham Nash and India Arie, left Spotify. Still, the controversy isn't going away as Spotify continues to face scrutiny, from inside and outside the company, over its policies about misinformation. Spotify and Rogan issued responses to the controversy on Sunday, quelling some of the concerns raised about podcast episodes that discuss COVID-19 with guests who have been largely discredited by the medical community. Major pop stars did not quit Spotify, and app analytics data indicates Young's protest did not diminish new signups. "This was, 'Thanks, Neil.'"Īlthough smaller rival streaming services received a boost from fans of Young and other artists who joined his protest, the effect of the boycott on Spotify has been minimal so far, analysts said. Not both."Sometimes you see things and you wonder what caused it," Mackta said.
Young continued, “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform. Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.” On his own website, Young wrote in a now-deleted post, “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. (Here is a clip of him being fact-checked in real-time but not admitting error.) Prior to Young’s demand, hundreds of doctors have petitioned Spotify to take action against Rogan. Young claims (and rightly so) that Rogan is giving misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines that is potentially causing serious damage, and deaths.
Young is demanding that Spotify make a choice between his music or Rogan’s popular podcast. In an open letter to his management team and record label, Young has given the popular music streaming platform Spotify an ultimatum: it’s me or Joe Rogan. Neil Young is putting his money where his mouth is.
