I feel kind of bad for him that he wasnt backed up by his peers. You've got musicians and small labels in-fighting over the tiny amount of money spotify pay that they wont challenge the site for fear of their income being pulled. Spotify is evil for music. When they side with conspiracy theorists who have no evidence it sends another message - they're income is worth more than what you all need, and that includes your personal safety.

Spotify is not alone. This started with Youtube/Google. They made changes some 10 or more years ago where algorithms were put in place that selected outrageousness over accuracy. This has allowed Rogan and others to make money off the adrevs, the sponsorships and the memberships. Their reach has sprawled into not just those two sites, but social media, TV and radio, magazines and news articles... its more religion than truth.
