As a tactic, what the progressives are doing makes sense to me. Progressives are ruthless people.

Since they couldn't come up with a way to destroy Joe Rogan directly, well then, what if Rogan didn't have a contract at all? Spotify is probably easy to put out of business right?

If there's no more Spotify, then there's no more contract, and then there's no more Joe Rogan. Problem solved. Now they're yelling dominoes.

I wish conservatives would get with it and target Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, and Apple this way. We could easily take them down a notch or two if we actually got serious about this and war gamed about it - and then did it.

Let’s wargame this - cause I know you’ll participate with me. Let’s lay out the pertinent facts here.

Fact #1: Big Tech is comprised of five anti-conservative companies, not two. It’s Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter.

Fact #2: Google, Microsoft and Apple are advertisers on Facebook and Twitter. Microsoft and Apple advertise on Google as well.

Fact #3. Out of these five big tech companies, Microsoft is the easiest target. The phone scene isn’t nearly as ready for prime time, which makes Google and Apple harder targets.

War game: If a massive amount of conservatives actually were serious about doing more than just complaining, and got off of big tech Microsoft, that would significantly alter the entire technological scene. The obvious home would be Linux. But most importantly, it would be conservatives de-monitizing a huge advertiser for both Twitter and Facebook.

It’s two birds with one stone. It’s the domino effect. Now where can we find any conservatives who are motivated enough to “Spotify them” the way they are currently “Spotifying” Joe Rogan?

Right here with Spotify - right here - progressives are showing us exactly how we need to treat big tech. I just don’t think most people have the stomach to actually do it cause if they did they would’ve already been doing it.

Progressives are ruthless people.

Correct. Some of them do not know the difference between right and wrong. The rest do not even acknowledge that there is a right and wrong.

The stories will ramp up about Spotify collapsing, until they cave.

They’ll have to.
But it won’t do any good.

Blackstone will run the table and put Spotify out of business.

As an exmaple for standing up to The Powers That Be.

Umm... you do understand that the grand majority of Microsoft market share is from their Azure cloud business, right? You planning to boycott all of the companies using Azure? How about Microsoft 365? Might as well become Amish, bud. Going to Linux means NOTHING to Microsoft. Matter of fact, over 60% of their cloud business runs on Linux.

Yeah, that old screeching granola lady Joni Mitchell has followers other than here on Free Republic. I never bought her stuff in the early seventies. And I had a massive music collection. I could listen to the neighbors’ dogs mate.

Neil Young and Joni Mitchell are just the foam on top of the wave. They symbolize the leftist mob, but people aren’t leaving Spotify because of their music being dropped.

Neil Young followers.....

Rumor has it Melanie, Herman’s Hermits, the Dave Clark Five and Tiny Tim are going to join. A juggernaut of lost talent.

High school seniors have grandparents who dimly remember the last time Neil Young had a hit.

More pathetic scare/intimidation tactics from Big Media

let me summarize ... “Spotify should come to its senses and ban the irresponsible lying Joe Rogan immediately before its share price drastically falls any further”

(but watch Joe Rogan’s ratings increase after this!)
