The letter said the 76-year-old musician was planning to refuse the music streaming service access to his catalog of albums until they cut ties with podcast host Joe Rogan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlease act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule,\u201d Young shared in the letter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith an estimated 11 million listeners per episode, JRE, which is hosted exclusively on Spotify, is the world\u2019s largest podcast and has tremendous influence,\u201d the letter continued. \u201cSpotify has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform, though the company presently has no misinformation policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian-American musician is referring to claims that Rogan spreads \u201cvaccine disinformation\u201d by hosting guests with a variety of different opinions on his massively popular podcast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rogan has made plenty of controversial statements that got him into trouble with mainstream media. But the most recent catalyst for debate happened when the podcaster interviewed Dr. Robert Malone after the medical researcher was banned from Twitter over alleged COVID-19 misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>This prompted 270 members of the medical community to send an open letter to Spotify demanding they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/270-doctors-demand-spotify-implement-covid-19-misinformation-policy-over-joe-rogans-podcast\">implement a disinformation policy<\/a>, especially in light of the Joe Rogan Experience episode in question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy allowing the propagation of false and societally harmful assertions, Spotify is enabling its hosted media to damage public trust in scientific research and sow doubt in the credibility of data-driven guidance offered by medical professionals,\u201d the letter read.<\/p>\n<p>This also wasn\u2019t the first time Young took issue with Spotify hosting his music. The artist had his songs removed from Spotify in early 2015 over sound quality issues, Rolling Stone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/neil-young-demands-spotify-remove-music-vaccine-disinformation-1290020\/\">reported<\/a>. But the \u201cHarvest Moon\u201d artist changed his mind on that move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s where people get music,\u201d he explained to Rolling Stone in 2019. \u201cI want people to hear my music no matter what they have to get through to do it. I\u2019m just trying to make it so they hear a lot more and enjoy it a lot more, but sell it for the same price because music is music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following Young\u2019s most recent announcement, social media erupted with opinions on both sides of the issue. \u201cI enjoyed listening to you Neil @Neilyoung you\u2019ll be missed,\u201d Jordan Peterson <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jordanbpeterson\/status\/1485842960478527489?s=10\">tweeted<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a good chance Spotify will just ignore this latest outrage and hope it goes away, however. That\u2019s because JRE pulls in a massively huge listening audience, which is a boon for the platform. A recent report found that Rogan\u2019s audience exceeded the traffic of top news shows including highly-ranked programs on Fox News and CNN during the third quarter of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
