So Neil Young demanded that Spotify either cancel Joe Rogan (apparently their #1 podcast by a lot) or remove his music from their site. They chose the latter and the liberal tears are pretty funny. I was reading something stating that Young doesn't actually even own his music, so didn't even have the muscle to back up his threat. Kudos to Spotify for not getting on their knees.

Neil Young's still alive?
Didn't know that.
Nor do I really care, actually.

Everybody always raves about Young's music, but I never really liked it. It's interesting that he was always supposed to be a guy who "fights the man" but is now fully embracing the man and attacking people who think differently.
-
I had to go look up his music. Some of it is stuff I like but I've always kind of thought his voice was on the whiney side. Generally prefer covers done by other singers.

I think it because many of them didn't do it for principles they believed in. They were just following the popular trend.
Well, that and many of those old hippies were never libertarian no matter what they might have said.

There's a trigger warning on the post ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off red
Don't feel like a racist, but I am to them
But I try to deconstruct it anyway I can
Keep on derping in a woke world!

Not really a tiny incident. Joe Rogan is one of the most popular celebrities around. He's being attacked by multiple sources in an attempt to censure and silence him, but because of his media power, he's been able to tell them to *expletive deleted*ck off, and the entities that work with him are scared shitless of cooperating with the woke crowd because of the great economic impact to them if they do.
It's an important thing that he (and I disagree with a lot of his viewpoints) has the power to not only fight back, but destroy the SJWs, because there are a ton of people that the same SJWs just disappeared because those people didn't have the power to fight the woke army and big tech. Ref: Parler. Or even Donald Trump.

`Eff Neil Young and feed him fish! I like most of his music but his politics suck the big one, IMHO.

I drive from Michigan to Florida every winter for 3 months. I take my time taking several days wandering around.
The Woke Nation doesn't exist beyond the Innertube, college campii, the Democrats, half the Republicans, the MSM, and the the *expletive deleted*it for brains large companies who listen to their Human Resources nitwits.
If it were possible to grab a busload of purple hair, nose ring aholes and drive them around they'd start to see the real America...the one that crosses all boundaries with a hat tip, a smile, and a politeness the puts to the lie that is broadcast.
I drove around Ft. Myers today and all I saw was prosperity in every form you could imagine...everywhere. Is there a lower level out there? Sure. As the bible says, "...the poor will always be with you...". Well help out if you can in whatever way you can. Prosperity in America is attainable if you wish to expend some effort. FJB and Woke Generation. They are all fools, liars, and Regressive.

A few years back, during the St. Louis Troubles, we had a lot of protesters venture to the city from their natural habitats. Some of them got lost.
Saw a couple of them late on an August afternoon. They'd been doing a "shut down a major roadway" thing all day. They were wearing their "I am different" clothing. Black, on black, on black... And everywhere there was exposed, pasty, flabby skin, there was bright lobster red.
I saw them in a local grocery store. They were attempting to find sunburn ointment. And they were seriously freaked out by the folks they were seeing. Scary people, untamed people... They were frickin' scurrying like today's covid dancers to try to get through the store without interacting with any of the people who they were ostensibly attempting to "help."

His terms are acceptable.

Now Young is trying to get other artists to make the same demands of Spotify. Sadly, in this article they mention that Spotify said they have already censored over 20,000 accounts for "covid related content", whatever that means. Goes back to what I said about non-famous people being stomped on because they don't have the means to fight back.
Members only article, but here's a snippet:
Singer-songwriter Neil Young asked other artists to pull their music from Spotify after pulling his from the streaming service to protest against its hosting of popular podcaster Joe Rogan.
Spotify said Wednesday that it would remove Young’s music from its platform following his demand that the company either remove his music or cancel Rogan and his podcast.
“I sincerely hope that other artists and record companies will move off the Spotify platform and stop supporting Spotify’s deadly misinformation about Covid,” the “Heart of Gold” singer wrote in a letter published on his website. He didn’t specify what “deadly misinformation” is being allegedly pushed on Rogan’s podcast.
Young, also a longtime left-wing activist, then claimed that “most of the listeners hearing the unfactual, misleading and false COVID information on SPOTIFY are 24 years old, impressionable and easy to swing to the wrong side of the truth.”

Y'all need to get better at 1) never ever believe the story as presented, especially if it flatters your biases and 2) follow the money.
Neil Young is trying to launch his own streaming service because he's not happy about the tiny commissions Spotify pay him. And Spotify is obviously his biggest competitor. And if you want to launch your own streaming platform, it's bad marketing to stay on Spotify because people will just keep listening to you on Spotify and not pay for another subscription to listen to something that they are already paying to listen to on Spotify. He has to exit Spotify, just like Disney pulled all their content from Netflix when they launched Disney+. This is entirely about him trying to exit Spotify in a way that 0) results in media attention, good or bad doesn't matter, which has succeeded thanks to drones propagating the story, including here 1) doesn't make him look simply jealous of more successful acts like JRE which he probably is 2) doesn't make him look greedy for thinking he merits higher commissions than everyone else, instead he has a self-righteous smokescreen to exit Spotify while covering up to real reason for leaving (greed/capitalism) 3) makes Spotify look bad to some people for hosting and making money off misinformation 4) will help him extract some Spotify content providers to his platform while hopefully avoiding them questioning why they should go on his platform, for which the real reason it exists at all is so that Niel Young can scrape their commissions instead of Spotify.
It's a perfectly strategic move; has nothing to do with any sincere belief.

Got any links? All I found with "Neil Young launching streaming service" was a Wall Street Journal article from three years ago, and then that he has now made a deal for his own channel on Sirius post the spotify split.

I looked as well, but it's going to be hard to find with the current news headlines clogging search engines.
I honestly don't think it's far fetched that this is more to do with getting content back than making some point.

Well, I guess my issue is - no offense to zahc - that he is arguing the motive, not the act. The act is attempted censorship. Whether the motive is misguided politics or the motive is making money (I would argue that money is the worse motive) is somewhat irrelevant. He attempted to censor someone, which harms both that person and the public, and is an attack on a basic right.
Even if he was pulling a Smollett, he caused other people to jump on his bandwagon and promote even more censorship. It's not legally criminal, but it's certainly morally criminal. Especially for an "artist" that built his name on free speech.

Young is a nobody, I don't see any attempt by him at yet another streaming service panning out.

Joni Mitchell was "big-ish" in my era, but she wasn't nearly as popular or as well-known as Joan Baez or Judy Collins. Haven't heard anything about her or thought about her for (probably literally) decades.

Neil Young- vocal talent equal to Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Johnny Cash, and just about any rapper. [barf]

that crowd of old hippies are a strange lot, I am good friends with an ex GF of Dylan, and a close friend of the late Tom Petty.
All her friends are robotic supporters of whatever the woke voices are saying that day.
They all virtue signal the same thing in order to show they belong to the in crowd.
I thought it was awesome that Joe Rogan prevailed, even though I never listen/watch his stuff.

Same here. It's not over yet, though. Those who resist the woke often give in, if the fascists keep pressing the issue.

From what I've read, there are quite a few woke facists leaving Spotify. Whether it will be enough to move Spotify management, I don't know.
-
it could be that Young wanted to start his own streaming service, but i doubt it - maybe his wife wants to, she's probably more ambitious along business lines than he is.
Neil Young is a true believer of woke propaganda.... I saw a video while looking up his music a few yrs back, at a concert he was ranting like a crazy homeless guy about some woke cause Du Jour, most of those dinosaur "rockstars" are - they became wealthy and drugged in their late teens and early 20's and never were told "no" and everyone tells them they're a genius.
We here ( for instance ) are constantly challenged on our assertions and learn from the questions and rebuttals - dinosaur "rockstars" never had to
-
I guess Joe Rogan "semi-apologized" to the public? It wasn't that bad from the "kneel down" perspective. He said he would try to have two different viewpoints when doing controversial subjects. I suppose that's fine.
Spotify though, is apparently going to start a twitter-like "misinformation database" and post warnings for podcasts relating non-Fauci approved information.
-
These people are morons. "You have a first amendment right except for A,B,C,D,E..." And talk about pushing misinformation - their chart only says "unvaccinated" and "vaccinated". No mention, once again, of natural immunity, which is certainly not included in their "unvaccinated" numbers.

From "The View":
"I mean I don't know that he can be reformed," ABC’s "The View" co-host Joy Behar said.
Meanwhile, on that show, they just a few days ago denied the holocaust.
So far, it has been mostly people I never heard of or people that I thought were dead leaving Spotify. I read this morning though, that Taylor Swift, Madonna, and a few other bigger names are looking to leave because Rogan's apology wasn't good enough. Another reason not to bend your knee and apologize to these asswipes.

Rogan should know by now that when you're called out by the Woke, apologizing is deadly. Even if you've done something that's actually wrong, apologizing to the fascists just legitimizes them. The latter is nearly always worse than what you're being criticized for.
And, no, I haven't Godwinned anything. https://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=66072.new#new

Debate is doomed. The woke idiots do not (or choose not to) understand that differences of opinion do not constitute "misinformation." Their attitude is that any information that departs from their version of "fact" is misinformation. They really want us to live in a society that's a cross between 1984 and Brave New World.

Some evidence towards zahc's post regarding Neil Young grifting:
https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2022/02/03/saagar-enjeti-stumbles-across-some-stuff-that-calls-neil-youngs-noble-intentions-into-question/
I think my previous point still stands though: Regardless of Young's selfish grifting, a whole bunch of people are jumping on his grift for political censorship, and trying to destroy innocent people. Kinda makes Neil Young an even bigger *expletive deleted*bag.
-
I don't know the full story. All I know is, the story presented is NEVER the full story, especially when anybody claims to be acting out of any sort of altruism.
The likelihood of the stated story matching the real story is inversely proportional to the fame/wealth of the players involved. See: nearly all climate or environmental acts. If an individual person says they recycle to help the planet, or boycott something because it violates their conviction, it might be true. If it's a corporation, government, or washed up celebrity, you can be sure it's not.

This will likely just draw more attention to Joe Rogan and make him and that episode in particular more popular.
We need a catchy name for the affect of trying to censor something making it more popular.

Joe Rogan is part of the system, he is not a hero or even remotely on my side.
Real tough guy act and then he *let's not go there* when he did nothing wrong. He didn't use *let's not go there* as a slur.
If he was for real his statement would have been, "I love my niggers, I'm their *let's not go there* and they know it, and they love me back so FU."
That would be real and believable, not the ridiculous groveling he engaged in.
The guy trains in MMA gyms and runs in circles where that word gets used regularly. He has nothing to apologize about.
Why is c u c k still blocked?
