> JRE leaving YouTube over the censorship
Meh. Youtube is an open platform. You can upload anything to it and there's almost no oversight except for a few sensitive situations, which I'm pretty much sure Google doesn't want to be involved with to begin with, but they have to. That's the price of them staying open for anyone to upload anything.
But Spotify is a closed and controlled environment. Not anyone can upload anything they want to it...
So in protest against Youtube's censorship he moved to a closed ecosystem where most of the world cannot publish to anyways.
That's either a faulty decision making, or trying to get some PR and making it look like a moral stand not just a better deal.
