YouTube temporarily suppresses one of Joe Rogan's most viewed podcast episodes: National File reported that Alex Jones's appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast in February 2019 "accumulated over 16  million viewers on YouTube, making it the most viewed podcast in the entire world for 2019."  According to screenshots reported by NewsWars, the video had become the second most viewed video on Rogan's podcast channel. However, the screenshots also show that on January 9, 2020, users who sorted videos on the channel by "most popular" could not find the February 2019 interview with Alex Jones. The video remained discoverable when a user searched either YouTube or the Joe Rogan podcast channel for the words "Alex Jones." It is unclear exactly what led to this temporary situation, but it has since been resolved. Alex Jones has long been banned from YouTube and other social media platforms.
