The move has been widely criticized for a variety of reasons – including placing the safety of human lives in the hands of AI.
Ek also threw his support behind Joe Rogan in 2021 when he made anti-vaxxer statements, as well as writing to the Swedish government threatening to pull Spotify from the region if it didn’t amend its laws and high taxes, surrounding housing, food and education.
Now fans have taken to Reddit to discuss the points raised in the TikTok as one user shared the video writing, “Tbh, I haven’t used Spotify in a long time so can one of you actually check if this is real, if so then damn Spotify, seriously? You see how the nation is getting even more pissed off with Trump and MAGA still you decide to play devil’s advocate and join them?”
Others then joined the debate with one scathing, “I use Spotify every single day of my life. I just f—— canceled it thanks to this video. But I need an alternative for sure! What are we using now?? Preferably something better for the artists! My reason for leaving? F— ICE and f— you.”

A second said, “Daniel Ek, another s—– billionaire CEO appeasing trump so he can keep on exploiting the market he has cornered. Self hosted streaming is pretty easy now. Support artists by going to shows and buying official merch.”
A third commented, “I just went on to chat with Spotify and tell an agent that I will cancel my subscription unless they stop supporting ICE and fascism. I was going to give it a week or so to see how they respond publicly. Instead, the two agents that I spoke with ended the chat immediately after I said that. I have not given them the week. F— ice. F— trump. F— fascism.”
A fourth social media user shared, “I boycotted my long standing Spotify family account and moved to Tidal last week because I heard of this. F— ICE and f— Spotify.”
A fifth noted, “Support these people with your money while they support maga who then refuses to support you. Choice IS yours.”
