If he's just minding his own business and putting out content, and you throw a "me or him" fit, I'm probably going to keep him and lose you, just because you're higher maintenance.

And if he's driving more traffic than you, and you say "me or him", you're definitely gone and he stays. (I don't have traffic numbers to confirm, but I strongly suspect that Neil Young overplayed his hand here.)

[Edit: Oh, Spotify has a $100 million contract with Joe Rogan? And Neil Young thought that they were going to pick him over Joe Rogan? Good luck; let me know how that works out for you.

Or was this just performative theater, and Neil Young knew he'd lose?]


And Neil Young thought that they were going to pick him over Joe Rogan?

I don't think he cares. Like he needs Spotify.


The headline is kind of confusing. He's pulling himself from Spotify. Nobody is making him go.


Guess differing opinions have no place in this world anymore.... if the left has their way :(
