    On the one hand, that’s good, but on the other hand, Meta crossed my line over eight years ago, and I’m woefully disappointed that he was using it until this point.

      He took a principled stance when he left Spotify too, after they paid hundreds of millions for Joe Rogan’s podcast.

      Edit: Disappointingly, it turns out he went back to Spotify after a couple of years.

        I’m pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as “disappointed”. Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn’t have full control over is.

        Personally, I don’t listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I’m not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.
