Demi Adejuyigbe on Quitting Spotify, X Addiction, and the Case for a Three-Post Limit

Comedian Demi Adejuyigbe has left Spotify after learning that its CEO had invested in AI companies and military contractors, calling it "the last straw" in a conversation with Kareem Rahma on Subway Takes. He also cited ICE advertisements and poor residuals for musicians, noting that many musician friends say the payouts "suck." He has moved to Apple Music, which he describes as "the lesser of two evils" despite missing Spotify's interface. On X, formerly Twitter, Adejuyigbe is unsparing: he wants to "burn it to the ground" and argues the platform should limit every user to exactly three tweets per day, forcing specificity over quote-tweet fights. He rejects Bluesky as a substitute, comparing the habit to cigarette addiction and saying the site "should be banned." His screen-time block on X allows 15 minutes before a prompt, which he ignores every time. He gets news mainly from X and Reddit, particularly the movie and Oscars race subreddits, which he watches without participating. He answers texts promptly but lets emails pile up until answered, and he carries a Canon EOS-1N film camera everywhere, replacing it with the identical model whenever it breaks. His favorite meme is LeBron James "smiling through it all." A version of the interview appears in Wired's January/February issue.
