Personally, I still don't think that should make these platforms immune from content scrutiny. There's implicit granting of authenticity when a global leader like Spotify or YouTube hosts content and puts their brand behind it, so I think it's fair they get to decide what is acceptable or not. ESPECIALLY when something is controversial, better to just get it off the platform and take a position that they do not want their brand attached to it.
Facebook and Twitter went all in on free speech for years, beyond any reasonable doubt and it still burnt them. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don't want that. I am suggesting that they should also switch to a pure pay for stream model so I don't have to pay for podcasts (don't want that from Spotify).
