A slew of reports claiming that Spotify has had $2 billion wiped off its market value because of the actions of Neil Young and others in opposing Joe Rogan’s content on the platform are fake news.
Variety and others ran headlines over the weekend like “Spotify Lost More Than $2 Billion in Market Value After Neil Young Pulled His Music Over Joe Rogan’s Podcast.”

As pointed out by many on social media, however, the drop in value of Spotify stock is part of a longer downward trend that started before Neil Young uttered a word about Rogan.
Indeed, Spotify’s stock has actually increased in value since the Neil Young driven backlash.
This is cherry-picked bullshit. The market in general was way down this week, but in the last two days of trading, since they announced Young was gone and Rogan is staying, their stock is actually up slightly.

That's the point…that is a 30 day chart. @NeilYoung pulled his music on 1/26. He had zero impact on @Spotify – the only person impressed with #NeilYoung is Neil Young. Just another thumb sucking liberal.
