All of this. Spotify is not merely hosting misinformation, but FUNDING it. That is why, as I’ve explained to many angry brogans, this boils down to the ethics of the company and what consumers want to put their money behind. Consumers do this ALL THE TIME. It’s not censorship.

Tech cos like Spotify who have coasted on “content-agnostic” philosophies for what they host are now all trying to become media cos, which means what consumers are paying for is no longer just the software, but the content, and consumers CARE about what content they’re funding.
If you’re going to start putting customers’ money into producing content, you are not allowed to be surprised when consumers have an opinion on that & express it with their wallets! It’s literally how this has ALWAYS WORKED but techbros aren’t used to that kind of accountability.
No one is being “silenced.” Nothing is being “censored.” The “woke mob” isn’t “forcing their views” on anyone. “Freedom of speech” has nothing to do with any of this. Consumers are making a choice about what their money gets spent on. That is all. Normal free market shit.
