I wonder if there's a list of artists that dropped out; Neil Young, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, who else?

edit: oh, Deerhoof too! Yay!

Didn't Neil go back though?

Looks like it. *sigh*

“My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at SPOTIFY. I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it. Qobuz and Tidal, where my music is presented, are all High res as well.”

At least he was on the right side of history during the pandemic.

Saw their post but music was still up as of today.

Guess it's not quite as easy as it seems. Maybe because they've had some lineup changes over the years

Yeah, I get it. I'd have never fell in love with them a decade ago without Spotify. That said, fuck Spotify. All my homies hate Spotify.
