I am totally with you on people having the right to choose. They can choose to leave and Spotify can choose to let them go. It’s called a free world. Do you know what’s really funny, I’ll bet if you asked them what they disagreed with Joe Rogan about, they probably couldn’t tell you. Maybe they believe there should be vaccine mandates, and Rogan doesn’t. Maybe they believe in strict gun control, and Joe doesn’t . But on most things Rogan would be considered a Kennedy democrat. So again it perplexes me that this is even an issue but to each his own.
Liberal moderates have become some of the biggest critics of the far whacky left. There's a great piece this morning in NYT about the unprecedented deep state funding which pushed Biden to victory. These corporations and bankers found their favorite puppet and now they run the show. It's not traditional special interest items that we've come to expect from both parties. It's been a brash takeover.
It's true, but imagine having to completely sell your country's soul to defeat a candidate that half the country despised? All they had to do was produce a halfway decent candidate and they couldn't come up with one.
I just read that Joni Mitchell was now demanding to have her music taken off Spotify. If it were me I'd be like, "don't be twisting my arm now." 😄
Little to do with Rogan or Young. It's about the Beverly Hills crowd (and others) with concierge access to the best healthcare in the world trying to leverage their celebrity to offset their fear.
if he were still alive, that would be like Tiny Tim demanding to have his music taken off Spotify
Maybe so. It's a total wreck right now. It used to be something one could ignore but that time has past.
Let's see what 50,000 truckers and 1.4 million people showing up on your doorstop can accomplish.
What? Mookie, look at the censorship happening right now. It's like nothing we've ever seen. Neil Young publicly tried to ride that wave and got shut down.
Where was the government involved? He ended a contract with a company. Were books or music being banned?
If you want to end a contract with a company, do it. You don't need to pull in vaccine politics and cancel culture in the process.
The ultimatum he gave his company was against the law? What does the mainstream media have to do with a music service like Spotify?
I will sit out the deep state discussion. Thanks. The cool thing about the deep state and conspiracies is that nobody can argue with it. Particularly when you're arguing with someone that thinks one "side" is the good one, it is the height of futility and idiocy.
The New York Times is into conspiracies now? Didn't they come up with that term to deflect? Now they are openly discussing deep state and were able to track back to source. What a difference a year makes.
Yep. Their opinion pieces were as popular as this current administration. At some point, you have to save face and start becoming real reporters again if you're going to sustain your business model.
Indemnity is the main issue. We're all paying for it. There's an avalanche of lawsuits directed these companies and Section 230. Let's hope they blow a hole through it.
True only for celebrities and people who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder.
