Neil Young reluctantly ends his Spotify boycott, citing the presence of similar disinformation on Apple and Amazon and the need for wider music streaming access, despite criticizing Spotify's sound quality. His initial boycott was due to Spotify's refusal to remove Joe Rogan's podcast, which Young accused of spreading vaccine misinformation. Rogan responded, expressing regret for the heat Spotify faced and emphasizing his attempt to host diverse opinions.

"Reclaiming Reputation: The Musician's Comeback on Spotify and iTunes"

Musician Benn Jordan, known as The Flashbulb, discovered his music had been removed from Spotify, iTunes, and other streaming platforms due to alleged fraudulent botstreams. His digital distributor, TuneCore, took down his music after Spotify detected abnormal streaming activity, but later admitted to an error in their notification system and reinstated Jordan's catalog. Jordan, who had earned over $400,000 in sales, demanded evidence of the fraud and criticized TuneCore for blacklisting him without providing proof. Spotify confirmed detecting artificial streaming but stated it did not instruct TuneCore to remove Jordan's music. Jordan's music has since been returned to streaming platforms, but he emphasized the need for policy changes to prevent similar incidents for independent musicians.
