Spotify drops all Neil Young music after he demanded Joe Rogan removal (reclaimthenet.org)

This is the third article I've seen here today where the title makes it sound like Spotify's decision, when in fact it was Young's decision.


It was Spotify's decision. Neil Young demanded they drop Rogan in order to keep his music. Spotify decided not to do that.


What I meant was that Spotify didn't want to drop anyone. Young asked them to drop him after they wouldn't drop Rogan.


That’s not how decisions work. I don’t think Neil demanding them pick me (or else I voluntarily remove my library) or him (him having a contract) is really a decision.

Or maybe they did have some decision in this, but most of the decision belonged to Neil, not Spotify.


Making the title essentially click-bait.


Th decision was not to drop Rogan.
