At first I had similar feelings, but I think there's a difference between censoring someone and no longer promoting them. Spotify didn't remove his content or make it difficult to find, they just decided not to actively contribute to giving him more exposure & money.

Agree - removing it from spotify's own playlists is worlds away from deleting their music. Just please please please don't force listeners away by sliding down this slippery slope and adding more censorship methods. 

Spotify will stop promoting artists for various reasons, such as hate speech etc. I really wouldn't get mad at them for choosing to no longer promote/support an artist. Besides, I don't think spotify would forcefully remove your subscription because of said censorship. I don't want to sound rude, but this isn't burger king. You can't always have it your way, even if its a convienence to you. Sorry bub.
