Apple Music may be a major player in the music industry, but it seems like not every musician is on board with their policies.
Justin Vernon of Bon Iver went on a Twitter rant for no apparent reason today, arguing that Apple Music's 'commercialisation' had gotten in the way of the things that made Apple devices so appealing in the first place.
apple went from being innovative, plug + play … the best way to experience music and file management to literally a horrid platform ….

they let the commercialization of apple music get in the way of making a product easy, simple, and beautiful to use. #neversyncagain

When questioned by a fan about why he doesn't pull his own music from the Apple Music store in protest, he said that it's up to fans to listen how they want to.
no reason to do that. its only music. some people need/like to listen a certain way. https://t.co/Uf4eUTHWSt

the apple can get past the shackles of their investors, or whatever the cause
… and find an identity as MORE than just a company.— blobtower (@blobtower) July 1, 2016
It's safe to say that we won't be hearing a Bon Iver-hosted show on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio station in the near future.
