According to Rolling Stone, Neil Young is not happy that Joe Rogan is sharing his platform with him. In a now- deleted letter, Young asked his management team and record label to remove his songs from the platform. Not both.
The letter was confirmed to The Daily Beast by Young's manager. We are trying to figure this out and his music is still on the platform.
The Joe Rogan Experience is now the world's most popular podcasts with up to 11 million listens on average. It has been controversial since it was launched, with Rogan allowing conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones on his show.
Spotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no misinformation policy.
Rogan hosted a doctor who claims to be one of the creators of mRNA technology. Malone made baseless claims about the effectiveness of the vaccines. A group of over 1,000 doctors, nurses, scientists, and educators sent an open letter to Spotify demanding that it create a misinformation policy after the episode. Daniel Ek has previously said that he does not believe that the platform has editorial responsibility.
The quality of Young's music was too low when he removed it from the service. He created the Pono music player in 2015, and in 2016 he announced a streaming service that adjusted music quality based on your internet speed. That never went away, but rival services like Apple Music, Amazon Music and Spotify have since launched high-definition and surround-sound audio options that significantly boost quality.
Young has six million followers on the platform, but he is concerned about the influence of the Joe Rogan Experience.
