Sounds like the free market.

We mostly think a free market means freedom for consumers, but it’s also freedom for suppliers.

I don't remember saying that it wasn't. Another part of a free market involves stating your preferences...which I just did.

No, a free market doesn’t require any statement of preferences, just freedom to buy and sell. Your wallet states your preferences in a free market, not your words.

Stating your preferences online is just practicing free speech.

> Your wallet states your preferences in a free market, not your words.

It states the preferences you can afford.

This is a very stupid comment, and I will take it to be us finishing what was already a pointless conversation.

Yeah or Rogan could stop having purveyors of misinformation on his show. That would also work.

So my options are switching between streaming platforms or having Rogan's podcast censored down to the guests you and Neil Young like?

I don't love my options.

Sorry, but none of us are entitled to the economic options we desire. You can pick what works best for you or create another option.

You keep referring to my entitlements as if I've done anything other than state my disinterest in the product changes being proposed.

The posturing in this argument is silly. The other person thinks joe Rogan is being irresponsible and should change. That’s not a violation of your freedom.

Again...where have I asserted that my freedoms are being violated?

> So my options are switching between streaming platforms or having Rogan's podcast censored down to the guests you and Neil Young like?

Because you’re acting like these two “either or” options are being forced on you. The options are 1) misleading and 2) not your only options.

Option #1 - Switching streaming platforms - There are already artists far more popular than Young not on Spotify (https://www.ranker.com/list/musicians-against-spotify/ranker...), like Prince, the Beatles, Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd, etc. If you’ve ever wanted to listen to these all-time artists, you already had to switch platforms, so this is not a new option.

Option #2 - Censorship - Find me a quote where Young says he wants to curate Rogan’s content. You’re leading here. And censorship is way too strong a word. It’s not censorship if the content is (or can be) easily accessible elsewhere. Censorship is the total banning of a piece of content everywhere.

Totally fine to be upset by what Young did, I get that it’s a crappy move, but it doesn’t rise to the level of censorship or inconveniencing you, beyond the tiniest amount.

Just lay your cards on the table. You seem to be hiding your true feelings.

I'm sorry to hear that.
