Mockery of the week.Spotify has a big problem, and Apple makes fun of it

Everyone has the right to their own opinion and if Neil Young does not intend to share the digital space to Spotify with Joe Rogan, he has the right to do so.Only where is the platform itself, which promises all the music of the world, and is not able to stop one of the iconic musicians in its offer?It all began with the difference of sentences and announcements of the removal of your music by Young, who is not on the way with the views of the Rogan podcaster about vaccines.

Neil Young's music disappears from Spotify.Podcast Joe Rogan stays

His podcast is famous for controversial guests and opinions, but the optics of these circumstances changes when the company paid a hundred millions of dollars for the presence of only on Spotify..When distributing this content, you should take responsibility to some extent, but the lack of reaction of Spotify authorities meant that Warner Music listened to the music command and withdrew his albums from the platform.In the blink of an eye, Apple Music picked up this topic and in many ways began to promote the presence of Young's achievements in its offer - notifications from iOS applications, a dedicated section on the main page of the website or posts on social media were sent..The "Rogan or Young" ultimatum has brought results.

Apple Music uses the situation

"We want all music and audio content from around the world to be available to Spotify users.This is associated with a lot of responsibility in maintaining an appropriate security balance for listeners and freedom for the creators.We regret that Neil decided to remove his music from Spotify, but we hope that we will soon welcome him back " - the Spotify message sent to WSJ was, and on his website Young thanked the Warner Music label for support.

Neil Young points out Spotify technical issues and sound quality

In later publications, the musician was even sharper towards Spotify, also referring to the quality in which they offer music.We would like to remind you that the announced introduction of the Hi-Fi standard has not yet become a fact and Spotify as the only, next to YouTube Music, still does not offer better sound quality among the biggest players, while Apple Music and Deezer managed to do it, and Tidal before.Young wrote that "Amazon, Apple Music and Qobuz" offer up to 100% sound quality, while Spotify is collecting a similar fee for only 5% of the initial sound value.

As reported by The Verge, Spotify employees loudly express their dissatisfaction with this turn of the case, but the management of the Platform was silent about it inside and outside the company. W opublikowanej niedawno wiadomości na Slacku Dustee Jenkins, szefowa działu globalnej komunikacji i public relations Spotify, można było przeczytać, że "firma przejrzała wiele kontrowersyjnych odcinków Joe Rogan Experience i stwierdziła, że ​​nie stanowią powodu do usunięcia".The message also contained a link to the inside with guidelines.After getting acquainted with them, The Verge decided that "the guidelines allow podcasters to say that vaccines cause death - but not that they are intended to cause death".

Will Spotify lose listeners?Probably not, but...

Perhaps Spotify will not significantly lose listeners departing to other streaming websites, which will lack Neil Young, because as it has been emphasized, he is not as popular as the recording records on the Taylor Swift or Kanye West platform.Rogan's contract with Spotify will continue to be enforced, Neil Young is satisfied that people will listen to his music on other platforms in better quality, but in all this probably forgotten listeners- subscribers, and thus clients.

Other artists may come to similar conclusions, but for other reasons, and then the centralization of content on music services will become a history.The market has defended itself against exclusive content, but this does not mean that something like these practices will not come back.I just assume that the music platform should focus on music, and applications and services from podcasts on podcasts.
