Young said this is "a huge loss for my record company to absorb" given that "Spotify represents 60 percent of the streaming of my music to listeners around the world." Young posted an update today thanking Warner. "I want to thank my truly great and supportive record company Warner Brothers-Reprise Records, for standing with me in my decision to pull all my music from Spotify. Not both." Young thanks Warner for backing him "I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform," Young wrote. Young's music was still on Spotify as of this writing but will presumably be removed soon unless either Young or Spotify change their minds. Objecting to misinformation about COVID aired on Rogan's podcast, Young told Warner Records this week that Spotify "has a responsibility to mitigate the spread of misinformation on its platform." We regret Neil's decision to remove his music from Spotify but hope to welcome him back soon." We have detailed content policies in place, and we've removed over 20,000 podcast episodes related to COVID since the start of the pandemic. "With that comes great responsibility in balancing both safety for listeners and freedom for creators. "We want all the world's music and audio content to be available to Spotify users," Spotify said in a statement to Deadline and other media organizations. With Neil Young having told Spotify that it can keep him or podcaster Joe Rogan but not both, the streaming company today said it will remove Young's catalog of music.
