I'm hoping this doesn't get political.
That said, isn't the listening audience of Young, Mitchell and other dinosaurs basically people eligible for AARP who use FM Radio as their main source of listening to music?
I also saw where Young was complaining about the low audio quality of Spotify so maybe this is valid to him but it sounds like an excuse.
Say what you will about Rogan, if he remains on Spotify he will be the most listened to podcaster on the planet. If he is booted off Spotify, he will be the most listened to podcaster and will probably have a very nice breach of contract lawsuit with Spotify.
I won't be surprised if both parties just ride it out because of the short attention span of the average person.
