That makes it futile (for someone as big as Rogan anyway), yes. But Young still made the ask. It's the ask I find objectionable. He could have just taken his ball and gone home, but he went farther than that.
Then why does he care if it's on spotify? Bit of cognitive dissonance going on here eh?
This is absolutely Young pulling an authoritarian "You're not allowed to hear things I don't like" move. There's really no other way to spin it. Disagreement with people is great, to then take the next step and say that others should not get access to the things I do not like.... well that's just a step another rung up the authoritarian/fascist ladder. It's a elitist control freak mindset.
It's so opposite of what his music is supposedly about you have wonder whether he's just been a sellout this whole time.
