In this case it’s censorship either way. A few artists are self-censoring at great expense to distance themselves from the Rogan podcasts. I suspect Spotify is concerned with the bad press and the potential for increased self-censorship, which will drive users to other platforms.

>>>A few artists are self-censoring at great expense

I wonder if there isn't a net positive from these artists "Self-Censoring" as now they are the subject of many news stories. I would think that there will be a spike in album sales for them, especially Joni Mitchell who although may have been very popular in a bygone era is mostly unknown by anyone born this century.
