Good for them. It's his righteous comeuppance for trying to get Rogan removed.

reply

agree, screw Neil. Put him out to pasture.

Sounds like he wanted to cancel free speech.

reply

He thought he could dictate how a company does business, LOL.

Sounds like he wanted to exercise his first amendment right to freedom of association. What are right-wingers gonna complain about next, M&Ms are sexist because the green one ditched the high heels? Do any of you have real jobs?

reply

I think he was hoping to be on the winning side/hoping other artists would follow suit. Seems like he was virtue signalling. Trying to take down anybody who has an opposing view to your own is not the way to win an argument, it's the way you pretend one never it existed.

reply

I agree. He couldn't seriously have thought that he'd win that battle, unless a lot of other artists went in with him on his demand. In the end, nobody joined him, and it was an easy decision for Spotify, and they told him "okay Neil, we'll take down your music, including your handful of forty year-old hits, and keep the guy with the most popular podcast on planet earth right now, and it's large, steady stream of income that it brings us. Have a nice day."

He didn’t want his music on the same platform that promotes a drooling caveman like Rogan.

Kudos.

We don't want old commies drooling around our freedom..
