When you search up "trump joe rogan" or anything along those lines the video doesn't show up, clips and reactions from people and media show up but the podcast itself doesn't. The only way to find the podcast is by literally searching the name letter by letter/copy pasting it or searching Joe Rogan's channel and then finding it. Of course Youtube has been known for censorship but i don't think they were ever this blatant with it, especially considering it already crossed 30 million views, is in trending in most countries and is already the 3rd most viewed Joe Rogan podcast on Youtube. Is this not election interference considering Youtube is the 2nd biggest website after Google? How can this be excused? Stuff like this is the reason why people vote for Trump or why people side with anyone that gets blatantly censored in general, i think this is a big mistake on their part and will create the opposite effect of what they were hoping for, at least if they were more subtle with it maybe it wouldn't be noticed, but when it's cut and clear it will fire people up.

It is a fact that it was censored, we can talk about what was the point of it considering they removed the censorship a day later after everyone complained on twitter, but to say that the video wasn't censored is denial, i can understand if you didn't directly see it yesterday when it happend so you may be skeptical, but if you tried it yourself at the time you would agree, it wasn't questionable considering how blatant it was, you can only argue that youtube didn't mean to do it but i just haven't heard any sensible arguments for that.

The entire twitter was talking about this yesterday, this wasn't my personal opinion, i only shared this on this forum because i didn't see anyone else talk about it (someone actually mentioned it today in the original thread about the interview), the only reason why they removed censorship was because Musk and Rogan complained.

Now it's pretty easy to find, they fixed the problem yesterday, but yesterday it was practically impossible to find it unless you searched for Joe's channel and then clicked on the video or literally typed out the title of the video letter by letter. I think people in this thread are missing the point that i wrote that you would literally get every single reaction to the video from the media and the people (and those reactions are mostly left-leaning) instead of getting the actual video itself, there is no excuse for this, this wasn't the problem of the algorithm, the only logical reasoning that i heard is that video could've been mass reported by the left, but even in a case like that it would be illogical for Youtube to censor it considering the reaction was massively positive when considering the views, likes and comments that it got.

It's not the problem that it didn't show up in the top spot (which would also be a problem considering it got 30 million views under 3 days, so it wouldn't make sense), the problem is it wouldn't show up at all, you could scroll for who knows how long and you wouldn't find it, i was scrolling for like 1 minute and then stopped cause it was pointless, who knows if it even showed up at all at any point. If the algorithm can adjust to the reactions from the media and people on that interview then why wouldn't it adjust to the interview itself, that has by far more views than any other video releated to the topic? Imagine you search "Actualized.org" on YT and you get every single reaction and review of Leo's channel instead of the channel itself, that's the equivalent of what happend yesterday. The Rogan post that you're talking about was about the initial release when the video was unlisted, this was done by Rogan and not YT because Rogan had some technical problems with it, the censorship that i'm talking about happend yesterday throughout most of the day and then stopped at the evening when most of twitter including Musk and Rogan complained, Rogan initially did it with a retweet of another tweet that talked about the problem and then tweeted about it himself, here is Rogan's tweet about that problem: https://x.com/joerogan/status/1851117181964046431

I used to have twitter before and after Musk and i never got banned because i wouldn't really say anything that could go against the bias of the site at the time, so i can't really say, i mean twitter is definitely right-leaning now but the leftist can still talk with more freedom that the right could before Musk, so i don't think that the left has it that bad anymore, it's just not a left echo-chamber now.

True, especially over the past year, my comments would literally be censored for no reason, you could wish someone a happy birthday and get censored, seems like everyone is having this problem, it's unfortunate that youtube is destroying itself like this.

You won't get banned if you tweet how bad Teslas are. Yes youtube won't ban you if you critisize them either but there are things on youtube you can't critisize unlike on twitter where it's more free even tho twitter has biased restrictions too. I don't think that the experiment failed really, the people who are running away from twitter are mostly leftists and they run away because they get to face the right talking to them now, before Musk there were no right-aligned viewes on twitter and if there were they were basically supressed, it was a left echo-chamber, for me twitter is better than ever before (other than bots and porn that gets spammed, but if you don't interact with those types of posts they stop showing up). And you could say that twitter is now a right echo-chamber (even tho i would disagree because i don't think the left gets censored now nowhere near as much as right did before Musk) but even if that was true it would just balance other major social media platforms that are left echo chambers, like Instagram, Youtube and Facebook.

The content of the interview itself is not comparable to the things you mentioned, if you want to talk about the person being interviewed then for example why is every Diddy song still not censored, let alone completely banned from the site? Considering the person who made those songs is a much more controversial figure than Trump.

Yes now it is, they "fixed" it.

You're in denial if you think the video wasn't censored, stuff like this is so annoying to read, you know it was censored, i know it was censored, but you still choose to intentionally be in denial, i'm very often suprised how much people get sucked in by the tribalism of politics that they will deny the most obvious corruption of their side just because it's their "team", it reminds me of sports fans, please be honest man.

Both are bad things, Elon shouldn't be biased and should allow people that he disagrees with no matter what and he shouldn't do those "donations". But still twitter has less censorship than any other major social media platform so i appreciate that.

Just wanted to update that Youtube has removed the censorship to a degree, you still can't find the video with some other combinations of keywords but "Trump Joe Rogan" and "Trump Rogan Interview" work now. "Trump Rogan", "Trump Rogan Podcast", "Trump Joe Rogan Experience" still don't work but it is what it is, hopefully they will completely remove the censorship.

You're being completely dishonest and unnecessarily rude. Of course the video will show up if you search for Joe Rogan's channel (just like i said in the main post), i never said they deleted the video, i said they censored it completely which they did, anybody who goes on youtube and uses keywords "Trump" "Rogan" to look for the interview (which is the approach most people would take) will not find the video despite it having 35 million views within 3 days, this is the highest level of blatant censorship of a viral video that i have ever seen on Youtube, by far.

Yes i said that in the post, if you search for Joe's channel you will find it, but try to search anything "trump rogan" esque and you will see what i mean. See how it says "Latest from PowerfulJRE", that's because it shows you all his videos and Trump's just happens to be a recent one, the moment Joe uploads his next video the Trump video won't show up anymore that way either because it will be 3rd latest video and this "Latest from PowerfulJRE" section only shows last 2 videos.

He won't do it, it's practically impossible, it's just talk.

Thank you for understanding and thank you for welcoming!

That's true, i remember searching for that video once to rewatch it and i couldn't find it so i thought it was deleted until i found it on the channel, Youtube is dirty, unsurprisingly.

Why? What do you mean?

I wrote that in my post, no need to insult me, you're better than that. But how is that not censorship, that the only practical way to find a video with 30 million views is to look for the video on the channel? This sounds like pure denial from you, please be unbiased and honest for one moment, this is the most obvious censorship Youtube has done so far on a video this big.
