A lot of pre-COVID episodes deleted meanwhile recent controversial COVID episodes remain.
I like the idea that it's the guests themselves asking for deletion because they no longer want to be associated with him.

Spotify competing with YouTube isn't the root problem. The people calling for censorship are the problem. This is the latest attack in an ongoing war on free speech. We are losing our freedoms. Today it's Joe Rogan's speech tomorrow it's yours.
The First Amendment protects us from the government censoring speech. It is not a prohibition on private companies removing content or private citizens demanding the removal of speech they disapprove of. The fact that this discourse can happen in the open is proof that free speech exists and is in force. If the Biden administration could control speech they could ban anyone suggesting anything other than the official…
I think I speak for the majority of people here. Before the Spotify deal, you would just see couple of Joe Rogan clips on YouTube and you have sat through maybe 3-4 entire podcasts. You don't care much about MMA or you don't think comedians are that important/hypeworthy as the JRE fandom would claim. After the Spotify deal you just slowly stopped even seeing the clips because for some reason you just don't care to se…

When I heard of JRE many years ago, I said to myself, "do I care to hear the endless opinions of the former host of Fear Factor? Nope." And that was that, never even decided to give it a try with so much other potential content available.
I’m struggling to have sympathy with anyone involved in this. Podcasting has always felt like a resurgence of the “original web” spirit to me: anyone can upload, anywhere. All you need is an RSS feed and anyone can subscribe. Then Spotify came busting in and decided that the open podcasting platform is obsolete and paid Joe Rogan $100 million for exclusive distribution of his content. So they’ve dug their own grave h…
He would have always be reliant on others who can be put under pressure to remove jre from their platform

What is more likely is that they have controversial bit or two on them so they got flagged. There are episodes that have Joe Rogan say the N-word (not directed towards anyone and in-context, something he addressed today) could be that it was these episodes that were removed.

You think YouTube would have acted better if Rogan was still posting his full episodes there?

The real issue is that no matter what, we were not allowed to hear from individuals because some people think their views are harmful to us. He would have always be reliant on others who can be put under pressure to remove jre from their platform
