Last year, when Apple launched its streaming service Apple Music, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon made his displeasure known in a series of barbed tweets. “Just literally wish that the humans who had the power, USED it to literally make things better,” he wrote at one point. Now, Vernon has reiterated his stance, calling Apple Music “literally a horrid platform” whose “commercialization” resulted in a weak product. See his pair of tweets below.
