The IT Nerd

Clearly Neil Young is not done with Spotify just yet. As if to stir the pot some more, Young posted on his official website a number of thoughts. Including this:

To the musicians and creators in the world, I say this:
You must be able to find a better place than SPOTIFY to be the home of your art. 

To the workers at SPOTIFY, I say Daniel Ek is your big problem – not Joe Rogan. Ek pulls the strings.
Get out of that place before it eats up your soul. The only goals stated by EK are about numbers – not art, not creativity.
Notice that EK never mentions the Medical Professionals who started this conversation. Look, one last time – at the statements EK has made.

Then be free and take the good path.

Seeing as Spotify employees have had some issues with the course that CEO Daniel Ek has taken, this isn’t going to help Ek in terms of quieting things down. And as for musicians taking their music off of the platform, that only works if you either own your music or have control of it. But it is a provocative statement that may find some takers in the coming days.

Clearly this isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
