Saagar Enjeti stumbles across some stuff that calls Neil Young's noble intentions into question

Neil Young is stunning and brave. That’s why he threatened to pull his catalog from Spotify over Joe Rogan and wound up having to make good on that threat. Neil Young fights the power.

Or does he?

Saagar Enjeti can’t help but be struck by Young’s trajectory since leaving Spotify. See if you can figure out what Enjeti finds so striking:

Amazon has been leading the pack in bringing Hi-Res audio to the masses, and it’s a great place to enjoy my entire catalog in the highest quality available.
Thanks also to Apple Music (I LOVE APPLE) and Qobuz for sticking with my High Res music.

Keep on rockin’ in the free* world!

*Free for four months

Nah. I'm just taking crazy pills. No way this isn't a completely organic movement where big players have a lot to benefit

Enjeti’s just trying to make sense of this, Neil. He’s not necessarily saying what it is, but what it looks like.

Neil Young limiting replies to his Amazon (and Apple) tweets doesn’t exactly do him any favors, if we’re being honest:

Hey, man. We’re not going to get mad at you if you’re getting cozy with Corporate America. You want to make money, Amazon wants to make money … go for it.

But please understand if some skeptics out there don’t think your intentions are as pure as you say.

Such an obvious grift it’s crazy
