Spotify is in the process of removing famed singer-songwriter Neil Young's recordings from its streaming platform, the company announced Wednesday.
On Monday, Young had briefly posted an open letter on his own website, asking his management and record label to remove his music from the streaming giant, as a protest against the platform's distribution of podcaster Joe Rogan. Rogan has been widely criticized for spreading misinformation about coronavirus vaccines on his podcast, which is now distributed exclusively on Spotify.

Never was a fan, but my respect for the man shot up 100%. I'd much rather listen to Neil Young than some far right-wing nut job. I don't even care what Mr. Young's politics are.

If you think Joe Rogan is “far right-wing”, I’m pretty sure you’ve never listened to much of his material

Neil has asked other artists to move off of spotify. Time will tell if this happens and if subscribers drop spotify and move over to Apple.
