“Soon it WILL be artists who are current and popular removing their music from Spotify.” Time will tell whether this leads to other artists coming out and doing the same.Joni Mitchell said on Friday she would remove her music from Spotify, joining Neil Young in his protest against the streaming service for its role in providing a platform for misinformation about the Covid-19 vaccine. One person remarked : “Ok people, don’t you get it? Yes, these are artists who aren’t super popular these days BUT this is what the start of a protest looks like. They praised the musician for the courage that she was showing in standing up for her beliefs and willing to pay a price for doing so.Īfter all, there is no denying that she is going to suffer financially from this. As such, there is a danger that Spotify and Joe Rogan could end up becoming victims of cancel culture.įans came out in droves in order to support the decision made by Joni. If Spotify continues to lose money, as a result of his views, they may have no alternative but to remove him. Secondly, in any event, it also places Joe Rogan in a very difficult place. That would clearly have an impact on the profit that the organisation would be making.
“I stand in solidarity with Neil Young and the global scientific and medical communities on this issue.” This latest move is very significant for the following reasons.įirst of all, from the point of view of Spotify, this could have the impact of setting a precedent where a huge amount of artists decide to remove their music too. Irresponsible people are spreading lies that are costing people their lives. In an official statement, Joni said : “I’ve decided to remove all my music from Spotify. The latter has been heavily criticised on the basis of spreading misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines.Īnd given that Spotify had refused to remove Joe’s content, Neil and Joni felt that it was only natural that they should boycott the organisation in protest.
Neil had initially given an ultimatum to the platform after he became increasingly concerned about their decision to promote the Joe Rogan podcast. Singer Joni Mitchell Removes Her Music From Spotify Over The Platform ‘Spreading Lies’ Over Covid-19
