As a big Neil Young fan, I’m pretty happy to hear that he’s back on Spotify. I mainly use Spotify for listening to music, so when he was removed, there became a serious lack of Neil in my life.
His letter is pretty funny. He still throws shade even with the return.

He exists in this sort of moral purgatory .. Happy to have his music back online, but coming after he sold half of his publishing for $150 million dollars it’s hard to believe that his justifications are pure. Oh, I won’t stream on Spotify because of Joe Rogan, but as soon as Joe Rogan is on other streaming services he justifies his return because all of a sudden it’s not just Spotify. I don’t know – pretty uncommon Neil Young L.. seems like he’s caving for obvious monetary reasons and claiming otherwise.

Neil’s been anti Spotify for a long time. At one time he tried to start his own high res streaming service but it never took off (Pono)
The motives are not super important to me at the end of the day, because the result is i’ll be able to stream my boy again

I agree with @qrisg, Neil did this purely for financial reasons.

Which, by the way, turns 50 years old this summer.
For the Charleston folks reading, I know they carry at least a few Neil Young records at Monster Music in West Ashley.

He ripped this solo on one of his songs and broke a string.. and I think he just said fuck it I’m gonna break them all…so he kept shredding until there was only one string left and he soloed on that!
