Neil Young calls out Tidal

Of course it was an attempt at censorship by Young. We can get hung up on the details of whether his actions were “technically” censorship or not, but his intent was clear. He did not simply (and honorably) walk away from Spotify in protest; he gave them an ultimatum…me, or Rogan. There is no doubt in my mind that Young, due to the typical overblown sense of self importance held by some artists, especially the aging ones in search of relevance, was shocked (to say the least) that Spotify would choose Rogan over him. Then, being unsuccessful, he doesn’t stop there. Now he is encouraging those working for Spotify to jump ship and leave their place of employment so as to “save their souls”. Really? Overblown sense of self importance.

Whether someone is Vax or anti-vax, whether someone's had Covid or not...most people don't care. They certainly don't care to debate "alternative facts" when they hold the opposite or dissimilar views. I just don't share the "hair-on-fire" outrage that others seem to on either side of this issue.

@mahgister

hate to say it my friend but you have jumped the shark per se. You discredit scientists you disagree with like Dr. Fauci then come right back and criticize others for doing same to the ones you like.  

I know you are smart and fair and will realize this. Perhaps do not be so fast on the trigger when posting. Don’t let your emotions replace rational thought.

Also I much prefer your embedding related posts here. At least that has relevance to the purpose of the site and just in case perhaps you are wrong about something, no big deal. Its only hifi, not people’s health and well being.

Of course, there are several issues.

Regarding Neil Young, he can’t censor…private citizens can’t officially censor any more than they can force adoption of new digital format….PONO anyone? Did anyone feel threatened by PONO?

Rrespectfully @mahgister , you might consider a different approach as it is futile to expect others to align with your way of thinking on this enless Covid conspiracy loop. Isnt it time that we recognize that this quasi-debate fatigue is a thing….that the same old arguments from differing data sets is unproductive? All it accomplishes is those fully invested in the dialogue get nowhere? If one person cites a Nobel Laureate in their argument, they believe that should be the intellectual equivalent of the mic drop. The Nobel committee is far from perfect..(Moniz received the Nobel for the lobotomy LOL).

You often refer to your extensive study of philosophy…it might be of some comfort to revisit Stoic Philosophy.

I greatly appreciate your honesty and humility and wise attitude...

You are right for sure about me...

But in this critical situation now that most people dont even imagine i have an excuse for my rant here against censorhip and indoctrination by fear...Perhaps if you are right with my unwise rant i am right about the general situation..

By the way my posts were against  forced mass vaccinations remember, not against targetted at risk people vaccinations which is necessary ... And about treatment that were criminally banned... It is my only excuse...And on that i am right...

I will be happy if we stay friend...
