No doubt about that.  Google has demoted Joe Rogan ever since he gave the three-hour interview to the current POTUS (whose name I cannot recall at the moment) and anyone who is thought to be allied with him.  Thanks for finding the Musk comment.  You have repeatedly demonstrated your expertise in finding stuff.  You don't suck more than anyone I know in that discipline.

Oy vey, I am around teenagers a lot these days because of my school coaching activities.  Now I am picking up far too much teen-speak.

Startpage gives a long list.
