The Led Zeppelin example isn't a good analogy in the context of Neil Young and the covid stuff. No one really cares what Joe Rogan has done personally, in terms of objecting to his podcast. If he'd said, "I'm not getting vaccinated, I don't think it'll help me, I'm healthy and I think this thing is just a flu, but everyone else can do whatever they want" and shut up about it, there wouldn't be an issue.... Take two hypothetical scenarios.
Scenario A: Rogan goes on his podcast and advocates the health benefits of lethal poison. Like, "add 100mg of strychnine to your water twice a day and you'll see amazing benefits". Thousands of people are dead within days.
Scenario B: Rogan decides that his new hobby is making pipe bombs, and explains how to make them from household materials, and how cool it is to watch them blow up, especially indoors. Thousands of people are dead within days.
I would suggest that Scenario B is much worse, and that Scenario B is also more analogous to reality. So if that's why you want to stop supporting Spotify, perfectly reasonable decision, in my view. Of course, you can do whatever you want with your money regardless of whether your reasoning for doing so is dumb or not.
