Joe Rogan generates a vast amount more in revenue then does Neil Young. That's called the bottom line. I like Neil Youngs music but he sounds like a spoiled star who doesn't realize he is not so relative anymore.
He has always been quite the liberal diva from all I have read of him.

But whatever happened to liberals believing in free speech or was that just a buzz word from the 60’s?

Whatever happeend to conservatives believing private corporations should be free to make their own decisions on what they want to offer for sale (and what they don't)? Or was that just a buzzword from the 80's?

Not sure how this spotify nonsense equates to subverting free speech?
Nobody's free speech was abridged here, was it?

My post agreed with spotify's business decision. Neil Young made a threat and spotify understands that Joe Rogan With an estimated 11 million listeners per episode makes a ton of dough for them. Bye bye Neil Young.

After reading an article on the issue, I got the impression that Neil Young requested Spotify to remove either his music or Joe Rogan's music, not the other way around. Spotify obliged.

Incidentally WHO backed Neil Young's decision.

He's also the one missing out on revenue from Spotify.

Personally, I don't use Spotify and have not heard a single Joe Rogan podcast, but now I'm curious and I don't believe I'm the only one. This is only going to boost Joe Rogan's coverage.
You're downtown and you get hungry and thirsty. You walk into a bar and grill and choose to sit up at the bar. You overhear a couple of educated middle aged dudes who are 3 beers deep discussing politics, sports, science, technology, etc.

That's a Joe Rogan podcast, and the left is mad that he's not an effeminate lisper who speaks in PC.
