You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
Full Definition of authoritarian
1 : of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority
Certainly seems to meet the definition to me. Are you sure you know what it means?
Note that the primary demand is to remove his music. He was under no illusions that he had any sort of leverage over Spotify. He lacked the authority to make demands about their podcasts. He did have the right to pull his own music, and to explain why. Which is what he did.
If you can't see the difference, I can't help you.
That's an ultimatum with markedly authoritarian need for control over what others have access to on a platform. Thanks for proving my point.
>Note that the primary demand is to remove his music.
No it's absolutely not or he would not have ended with the ultimatum. IF what you're saying was true he wouldn't have needed to mention anything about Rogan, he can pull his music whenever he wants.
I'm not sure if you're just naive or you've haven't been properly taught reading comprehension and critical thinking but you're just dismissing half of what Young is saying. I guess the last option is that you're being malicious for some reason. Which is it? I'd have more respect for you if you just admitted you like his authoritarian attitude because you don't care for Rogan.
