“Private companies have the right to choose what they profit from, just as I can choose not to have my music support a platform that disseminates harmful information. Following Neil Young earlier this week, Joni Mitchell announced Friday that she intends to pull her music from Spotify in protest of the platforms support. I have never been in favor of censorship,” it said. In a statement on his website on Friday, Young reiterated his objections to Rogan’s podcast and took a swipe at Spotify’s sound quality. Tech rivals have also pounced on the controversy, with SiriusXM restarting a Neil Young channel and Apple Music calling itself “the home of Neil Young.”

Twitter was dotted with the announcements of listeners saying they were canceling their subscriptions, and screenshots from Spotify’s app showed a message from its customer support team saying that it was “getting a lot of contacts so may be slow to respond.” Spotify has not said how many customers canceled their subscriptions.

While few other major artists have spoken out so far, Young’s stance has resonated widely with fans.
