ted nugent decided to use facebook even more for the same reason
Well, it's not like Ted Nugent is writing any new music. He probably doesn't have anything better to do anyway.

On the one hand, that's good, but on the other hand, Meta crossed my line over eight years ago, and I'm woefully disappointed that he was using it until this point.
I guess, but you will lead a lonely life if you can't find common struggle with people in different scenarios than our own. We can easily lose our soul with these endless purity tests — for some reason, Leftists, progressives, and liberals seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next Jesus Christ, who will just simply energize voters by consequence of, I dunno, magic or some shit.
Neil Young is still a working musician who needs to get his face and music in front of as wide and as general of an audience as possible — why wouldn't they be where people are? That's what makes this stand so important. Homie needs Facebook and Insta and still said no.

He took a principled stance when he left Spotify too, after they paid hundreds of millions for Joe Rogan's podcast.
Edit: Disappointingly, it turns out he went back to Spotify after a couple of years.
Money > all.

A musician/celebrity with high moral standards and personal integrity, imagine that, huh?

I think that attitude is a trap, and what got us into this mess in the first place. If more people did what Young did, these platforms wouldn't have the power (which we give them) to unleash as much harm on the world. Your suggestion implies that we should all wait for others to move first. That's the definition of paralysis.
And with a net worth the size of Young's, it's simply not true to say he "needs" to use those platforms, except in the more privileged misuse of the word. They're luxury items for him.

Neil young is a real one.

I'm pretty sure his label put his stuff back on there, despite his wishes. I seen to remember a need article at the time describing his reaction as "disappointed". Not all of his stuff is back on there, but I guess the stuff he didn't have full control over is.
Personally, I don't listen to Joe Rogan, but I do listen to Neil Young. And Spotify is the way I typically listen to anything since they killed the SD Card on most mobile phones. So it hurt me, and I assume it hurts anyone who would want to listen to both and only gets the option of Joe Rogan. So I think having access to media is better, but I'm not the artist and I get taking a moral stance.

Oh, is Ted having trouble finding jailbait these days?

Good on him. I'm going to make it a point to listen to more Neil Young.

I think the aim is to get people to switch to a more ethical streaming service, if they want to stream music. Spotify isn't the only option.

I prefer „corporate social media“ or „legacy social media“ as a differentiator from the Fediverse. If anything in the Fediverse ever becomes truly mainstream, that’s completely fine
-
Honestly, good on him.
More people should do the same.
I quit 10yrs ago. I am almost 70. If this old fart can do it. So can you.

If you're into self hosting (or have a friend who is), I've found Navidrome (music hosting) and Substeamer app to be great open source alternatives.

I tried tidal about two years ago and they had even less of what I listen to than Spotify. But maybe I should check in again and see what's different, because nothing stays the same for long.
