YouTube restricts reach of Joe Rogan interview with Elon Musk: YouTube has placed an age-restriction on the video of Joe Rogan's first interview with Elon Musk. While it is not clear why the restriction was added to the video, the episode features the two of them smoking a combination of tobacco and marijuana that garnered much attention. Age restrictions place significant limitations on YouTube videos. Documentarian and CEO of Good Kid Productions Rob Montz explained this concern in an op-ed for The Daily Wire after YouTube age-restricted one of his videos in December of 2022. “In practice, age restriction is a death knell: The video can’t be embedded on external websites; viewers have to sign in before they can watch it; and it receives scant – if any – boost from YouTube’s recommendation algorithm, which is a crucial source of views,” Montz said.
