In 2022, Neil Young pulled all his music from Spotify in protest at them signing Joe Rogan’s show. Young didn’t like the vaccine ‘misinformation’ the notoriously wrong broadcaster was spreading. He said it would cost him 60% of streaming revenue but he “could not continue to support Spotify’s life-threatening misinformation to the music loving public”.

But Young has announced he is coming back.

He is making it clear he still opposes Joe Rogan’s bullshit, but Rogan has now signed a $250 million deal to appear on many platforms simultaneously, and Young would either have to quit the streaming industry or hold his nose.

“Because I cannot leave all those services like I did Spotify, because my music would have no streaming outlet to music lovers at all, I have returned.”
