Rogan Expresses Frustration Over YouTube Censorship: "Suppression Doesn't Work!"

Joe Rogan expressed his frustration over alleged censorship/suppression of his interview with former President Trump on YouTube. He stated that searching for 'Rogan-Trump' on Google only yielded clips and not the full episode.

YouTube Corrects the Issue

Rogan mentioned that they reached out to YouTube, who rectified the issue. However, he also noted that Elon Musk was upset about the situation and contacted Daniel Ek at Spotify. As a result, the interview was also uploaded on platform X, where it garnered more views than ever before.

Viewership Numbers Skyrocket

The Rogan-Trump interview has been watched by tens of millions on Spotify, nearly 20 million on platform X, and an additional 41 million on YouTube.

Rogan's Views on Suppression

Rogan firmly stated, "You can't suppress stuff. It doesn't work. People are going to realize what you're doing." He questioned why his video, which had 36 million downloads in a day, wasn't trending. He suggested that this couldn't have been a mistake and could possibly be the work of a rogue engineer.

Speculations on the Reason for Suppression

Rogan speculated that the suppression could be due to ideological opposition to Trump's popularity. He also suggested that mass reporting could have played a role, which he believes is a symptom of the left.
