Joni Mitchell is pulling her music off Spotify

And yes I realize this is the equivalent of posting first in the Dropping Like Flies thread

Good for Joni

I'm spending my morning listening to a defense of Joe Rogan and how "liberals need to stop attacking anti-vaxxers."

Why do that to yourself?


Vaccine resistance at this point makes no sense….I mean we have to have over a billion people all over the world that have gotten the vaccines and I don’t see any evidence people are keeling over en masse from it…

So frustrating…. But you just can’t argue with these people

Thing isn’t it’s just the antivax BS being spewed that’s currently driving people off Spotify because of his presence..

Just this week there was this

Spotify's JR and guest JP suggest trans people are a sign of “civilizations collapsing”
Peterson compared being trans to undergoing “satanic ritual abuse,” referring to bogus satanic panic of 1980s

And this comment from the same show

JR: ‘Very Strange’ to Call People Black Unless They’re From ‘Darkest Place’ of Africa

And humblebrag I dropped my subscription when they brought him on board

Tom Brady

I can't, cancel Spotify . . . I like what it offers, too much.  Just like those tasty, hate filled nuggets from Chick-fil-A.

But can you quit Tom Brady?

I always thought he was very odd looking.  His life was just so magical and perfect in most regards, it seems almost not real.  To be honest, I fall into that category of hating a lot of football players who become, too damn superstar big.  I never paid him much attention while he was winning everything.  I liked the Skins and Ravens for most of my football watching . . . so what are you, going to do with that.

I predict Brady will be a Commander in 8 months.

Liza is in, now the whole industry will shift

I'd be more upset if the "belly" soundtrack was protesting being on Spotify.

I am awaiting a call from Neil to discuss next steps…

I suspect this will not be enough for Neil Young so I will continue my Spotify boycott

Neil is as brave as all of consumers boycotting Spotify.

this should go here as I expect this thread to be 3,000 pages
we want to make sure we get all the defectors in one place

Brené Brown leaves spotify

“I will not be releasing any podcasts until further notice,” Brown tweeted Jan. 29. “To our #UnlockingUs and #DaretoLead communities, I’m sorry and I’ll let you know if and when that changes. Stay awkward, brave, and kind.”

So is this now fixed…Rogan has spoken and said supported Spotify's move to add disclaimers on controversial episodes.

Seems fixed to me ;)
Neil come on back, liza, you can stay

is it me or is #teamneil filled with people
1. Don't have spotify
2. If they did have spotify, they had the free version
3. 'What is spotify?', will the Dr take care of that at my next checkup

Plenty of Neil fans have Spotify

Some have been bemoaning not being able to listen to Carnegie (on Spotify) on the Steve Hoffman forum
