This could be a problem for spotify. Right now it’s the has beens. But if this catches on, and the music community sees it as another way to show their ever present virtue, there will be some artists people actually care about pulling their music.

Maybe. Just a guess.

Pretty sure most performers have licensed out their music and don’t get to say where it’s used.

There are undoubtedly some exceptions, but mostly it’s just virtue signaling.

And the small but very vocal Twitter mob is going to make every artist defend their decision to remain on Spotify.

So fighting back might hurt a little so we should all just submit?

Name one artist on Spotifiy besides Joe Rogan that has 11,000,000 subscribers.

I’m boycotting all the crazies that chose censorship. I will not listen to their crap. Free or static. One or the other.

What it shows is, Spotify's large expensive gamble on Rogan wasn't a gamble, and their status as just another site for music streaming has changed.
