Apple Music has been seen mocking Spotify, after Neil Young dropped the platform.
Apple Music has been noticed to be quite openly mocking Spotify this week, by deliberately promoting Neil Young music and albums, sending out push notifications, and bending over backwards for the Canadian artist's fans—immediately after he pulled his work from Spotify.
This comes after a few days earlier in the week, the singer-songwriter furiously removed all of his music from the Spotify platform, citing"spread of COVID and vaccine misinformation" as the reason for his move. Spotify had recently come under fire from all sides for continuing to host Joe Rogan's podcast, after some of his aired episodes around the pandemic went against the grain of mainstream media.
Neil adamantly declared that"[Spotify] can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” before dropping Spotify. With being the biggest podcast in the world, Spotify has seemed rather reluctant to remove it, so Neil ended up taking all his music off the Spotify platform instead.reveals a since-deleted letter which Neil Young had written to his record label and management team, instructing them to cut all ties with Spotify.
“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” wrote Young. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.”Music, which has long been in neck-to-neck competition with Spotify, hasn't missed this opportune chance to rub its victory in Spotify's face.
