Neil Young urges Spotify workers to quit, says Joe Rogan is not the problem

Meanwhile, former U.S president Donald Trump has told Joe Rogan to 'stop apologizing.'

Neil Young continues on his anti-Spotify crusade, this time urging the company’s employees to quit their jobs as well as calling on creators and artists to stop using Spotify as a platform for their art.

Young penned a missive for his official website Monday, telling Spotify employees to “get out of that place before it eats up your soul.”

Several musicians, including Young and Joni Mitchell, have pulled their music from the streaming service, citing what Young called podcast host Joe Rogan’s vaccine “disinformation.”

Rogan apologized last week amid a backlash against COVID-19 misinformation on The Joe Rogan Experience; Spotify, which has exclusive hosting rights for the podcast, said it would add a content advisory to any episode featuring discussion of the virus.

Rogan, a mixed martial arts commentator and former TV show host, has stirred controversy with his views on the pandemic, vaccines and government mandates to control the spread of the virus.

In his latest letter, Young also took aim at Spotify CEO Daniel Ek, who said last week that it was not Spotify’s job to “take on the position of being content censor while also making sure that there are rules in place and consequences for those who violate them.”

“To the workers at SPOTIFY, I say Daniel Ek is your big problem – not Joe Rogan. Ek pulls the strings,” he wrote. “The only goals stated by EK are about numbers – not art, not creativity.”

Young urged musicians and other creators to “find a better place than SPOTIFY to be the home of your art.”
