**YouTube Corrects Search Glitch for Joe Rogan's Trump Interview**
YouTube has addressed an issue that prevented users from easily finding the full episode of Joe Rogan's interview with Donald Trump, which has become the most-watched "The Joe Rogan Experience" episode of 2024 on the platform. Users had reported difficulties locating the three-hour interview posted on October 25.
The problem became apparent after David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO of Basecamp, highlighted the issue via a post on X, which Rogan subsequently shared. Hansson's post featured a video demonstrating how searches for the Rogan-Trump interview only produced short clips, rather than the full episode. In response, YouTube acknowledged the oversight, stating that searches on Monday failed to prominently feature the original interview, though excerpts from Rogan’s channel were visible.
YouTube has since taken steps to fix the issue. "We've worked to resolve this and viewers will begin seeing the full podcast in more YouTube search results soon," the platform said in a statement. The situation had left many users frustrated, as they were unable to find the entire interview easily.
Within the interview itself, Trump discussed various topics, including his alleged mistakes during his presidency and repeated claims of a "rigged" 2020 election. Importantly, Trump did not provide evidence when prompted by Rogan. Since its upload, the interview has garnered over 35 million views, cementing its status as Rogan's top-performing episode this year.
