Full title: As Neil Young, Joni Mitchell leave in protest of Joe Rogan’s podcast, Spotify loses more than $2.1 billion in market value: report
...
Per the report, Spotify shares “fell %6 from Jan. 26-28. Over the same time period, the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index rose 1.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.1%.”

Why do people need Spotify to listen to music? There are numerous other platforms.
In the same way, you don’t need Spotify to listen to Joe Rogan.
Every corporation I know of uses the Microsoft Office platform. A bunch of random Conservatives will barely make a dent.
Is Joni actually cogent enough to make the decision?
I had read she was suffering from alzheimers the last ten years.
“Out of these five big tech companies, Microsoft is the easiest target.”
I strongly disagree. Microsoft’s value is closing on $2 Trillion. They are extremely diverse - much more than just software.
I believe that the easiest target is Twitter. Their net worth is only $35 Billion. They are pretty much a one-trick pony, and there are plenty of alternatives.
I think you're missing the forest for the trees.
What Neil Young himself cost Spotify, what do you think? 50 bucks? 75 bucks?
It's not about revenue. Forget the revenue. This is a waste of discussion time.
It's about market share. That's the weak spot.
No conservatives want to hurt big tech's market share, so we keep losing and big tech keeps winning.
I think there should be a list of losers that nobody should listen to. Make it public, make it mean something, label them as the commie/globalist loving assholes they are.
There are more people on the right than on the left. Put your beliefs where it counts! Don’t use the bullshit line, “Shut up and sing.” Use the line, “You’ll shut up now because we’re not listening to you.” Hit them in the pocket book. Theses are craven, traitorous assholes that will use any means to get their anti freedom message across.
They started it and we’ll end it.
Agreed. They don’t care about the economics. What they care about is the agenda.
Progressivism is America’s cancer.
“You forgot Barry manilow”
But we’re still good on Burt Bacharach, right? /s
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.
******
NAILED IT!!!!
Barry said he doesn’t know where that story came from.
He is not boycotting Spotify.
Rogan should call Bongino..
There is a reason he told Google to pound sand when they suspended his youtube account.
Bongino doesn’t need youtube any more.
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.
The corporate fascists will pull ads and music from spotify until they pay Rogan not to stream. The proper response to this is for red states to fight this fire with return fire: do now allow Big Tech fascists to conduct business in their states. If all 29 red states governors did that it would be the end of this tyranny.
You're right. Overstressed lately.
If you want to say seven people, well then, that just tells me there aren't very many people who have real motivation on this issue. It's just empty complaints.
But out of the five big tech companies, this is the weak point. If we wanted to exploit it, we would get together and exploit it. That it hasn't, that's the proof in the eating of the pudding.
I'd love to "Spotify" Big Tech. I know I'm alone or at least, only a dozen or a few people. If we had hundreds of thousands, this would be meaningful.
The blueprint is right there in front of us. We are seeing it in real time.

Reality check. Spotify losing only a few points on the market won’t kill it.
In fact its a cheaper stock to pick up now. If Joe Rogan gains Spotify more subscribers the company will make even more money.
Also, its extremely difficult to attribute its drop based solely on Joe Rogan controversy, which really isn’t a negative. Tech stocks are all in the middle of small corrections right now this past month, which was pretty brutal for some of them..
Good ideas. The problem is Microsoft gets the vast majority of their funding from businesses, and no business can survive without Excel.
Dan Bongino has entered the chat
He has left FB Twitter and YouTube..
Levin has also left several big tech platforms.
Blackrock will short it to oblivion
