Spotify backlash continues after Neil Young’s boycott

Following Neil Young’s withdrawal from Spotify Wednesday to protest the streaming service’s popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast — which has come under fire for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines — Young has been declared a “hero” by fans, peers, and even the director of the World Health Organization. Meanwhile, the backlash against Spotify continues to escalate. However, it remains to be seen if Young’s boycott will make a real difference, or if other major artists will follow his lead.
