I'm triple vaxxed, but (unless they're standing for hate or calling for violence) banning someone's podcast is too much like burning a book to me. Joe Rogan should talk on his podcast about whatever he damn well pleases.

The problem is Spotify severely underpays artists and are using that revenue stream to fund misinformation while they claim they’re against it.

Yeah, I’m torn on this. If it’s deliberate misinformation that’s one thing, but I think he is actually just presenting alternate ideas. Which I think are essentially wrong. But people should be able to express alternate ideas. It is contributing to deaths, though. So I’m torn.

having the freedom to say what you want does not mean you have the right to be paid $100 million to say it, access to technology to get it into the ears of an impressionable audience of millions, or be catapulted to the mainstream via algorithms and a behemoth marketing machine

Joe Rogan's platform is his PODCAST, and no one can prevent him from recording it. Distribution is never guaranteed, and no one is entitled to a certain style or amount of attention. Neil Young only wants freedom from association, he's not trying to shut anyone down. Do better.

It is Spotify itself that stands for violence. No, war. Actually, the ‘convention’ of war and profiting from it. All else is a distraction. marker.medium.com/spotify-sa…

I agree. The idea that there is information and disinformation is strange. Who's the arbiter of THAT?

Thank you! I’ve seen a thousand tweets about this topic from both sides of the aisles but this is the first that sounds like a rational adult said it.

Same I’m triple vaxxed but would make you do it. Ps I’ve lost feeling in feet after 3rd one.
