  1. Hi, Spotify’s CEO

    Recently, your company stocks are free fall like water fall?
    What happened to your company? It is bearish and embarrassing for you as CEO.
    Is your company in financial trouble? Negative Profit? Lower sales? PE ratio? High debt? Is your management qualified to do their jobs bringing up the company again?

    If this trend keep moving down ward, your company will be extremely Bad.

    So do something to fix it!

  2. THANK YOU DANIEL EK FOR BEING BRAVE AND KEEPING ROGAN. I AM STARTING AN ACCOUNT WITH YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR ACTIONS TO NOT POLICing ROGAN.

  3. I Its time a company stands up to censorship .Joe Rogan is doing what all americans should be asking for all the info without being discredited or censored or pressured from doing whats right.Spotify can be that company moving forward .support for joe rogan is huge .

  4. A covid “warning Label” on Rogan? What a dumb idea. Just get rid of the guy. Do the world a favor and strike a blow against misinformation.

    If this Rogan thing is not dealt with in the next couple of day, I will delete the Spotify app from my devices and move to Apple Music.

    My two cents.
