The 2022 Protests of Joe Rogan on Spotify began when legendary musician Neil Young demanded his music be removed from the platform due to alleged COVID-19 misinformation on 'The Joe Rogan Experience.' This sparked a massive cultural debate, leading other artists like Joni Mitchell and India Arie to join the boycott. The internet responded with a wave of memes, many highlighting the tension between high-profile artists and the massive streaming platform's $100 million podcast investment. The meme is typically used to satirize corporate priorities, the 'cancel culture' debate, or the specific irony of choosing between 70s rock classics and modern long-form podcasting.
