The hashtag #SpotifyDeleted trended on Twitter yesterday, and fans seem to have inundated customer support with so many messages that Spotify has had to take it offline at times.On Monday, famed singer-songwriter Neil Young had his music removed from Spotify as a protest against the platform's distribution of Joe Rogan, who's been widely criticized for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines on his Spotify-exclusive podcast. Though the loss of Young's music likely represents a small percentage of overall streams on Spotify, Young pointed out that 'Spotify represents 60% of the streaming of my music to listeners around the world.' For Young and his fans, the hit was palpable, and his fans are apparently taking their frustrations out on Spotify. Not both.' Spotify complied with the request, which ultimately came from Warner Brothers, Young's label.

'I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,' Young wrote on his website. Earlier this week, Young had asked the music-streaming service to remove his music from its library in response to COVID misinformation aired on Joe Rogan's podcast, which is available only on Spotify. Now his fans are, too, and they're telling Spotify about it.
