Knew that was coming. Joe Rogan's lies make Spotify way more money than does Neil Young's truth. Way to stick by your principles Mr. Young!

Saying that the platform represents 60% of his streaming income, Young thanked his label for standing by him and explained his reasons for making the decision. He said that he was told that he didn’t contractually have control to remove his music, but Warner Music supported his decision.
I hope other artists will join him in standing up for truth, but more importantly patrons if the service need to vote with their wallets and leave Spotify.
