Yeah the point is if you want actual ownership of the music you buy then digital is not the way to go.

#62Neil Young seems pretty on top of things, generally. You can buy any of his music DRM-free directly: https://store.neilyoungarchives.com/
Or you can just buy a record....

This is the same kind of rhetoric Rogan uses to say nothing and make it sound like it's a worthwhile opinion. Yeah, taking ivermectin to treat covid despite doctor's advice is objectively dangerous... people have actually died trying to take horse de-wormer. Rogan still spreads this nonsense. You're appreciative of Joe having Jordan Peterson on to ramble about things like "climate doesn't exist"? In the same episode…
Hyperbole like this doesn't help. I'm not an advocate of ivermectin because I have no idea what the science is behind it, but calling it horse dewormer is just disingenuous. This is like the leftist version of the right wing media calling Seattle's CHOP/CHAZ a war zone.

#65This story makes me cringe. I hate this idea of saying I won't do business with you if you do business with this other entity. What if Neil Young was a much bigger profit source. Then Spotify would be in tough position.

Authoritarians?
Yep I know this might be hard to understand for people that have been brainwashed into this attitude in the last decade but trying to silence ideas you disagree with is an authoritarian stance. You are on the same wavelength as religious zealots that burn "evil" books when you do this.

I don't think he expected them to drop Rogan, I think he just did this out of principal, but it really ended up being embarrassing for him. It was an opportunity to hear a collective "Who?" out of the under-50 demographic, and reminded a lot of fans that they hadn't listened to him in many years. It came off like he was shouting his irrelevancy from the rooftops. I hope he gained some sense of satisfaction or peace f…
I mean, I'm sure you have way more experience than Neil Young at irrelevance and being a nobody, so I'm inclined to defer to your expertise.

Re: Spotify sides with Joe Rogan, removes Neil Young’s music
#69Is this at all surprising? Spotify paid a lot of money to have Rogan on their platform because he (supposedly) makes them more money. Young gave a request of the "choose-him-or-me" variety, and Spotify honored that request. I doubt Young's body of work really amounts to much money for Spotify. Did Young really think that Spotify would drop Rogan over him? Would he have preferred to keep the status quo? I believe Youn…
