Of course an article saying Rogan himself decided to take the episodes down generates no comments here, while yesterday's article first reporting the take down attracted hundred of conspiratorial and reactionary comments claiming corporate or government censorship.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but didn't Bloomberg just today get busted with the headline "Russia Invades Ukraine" on their website? Not sure how credible they are..

I don't know what that proves other than someone was preemptively working on an article for when / of the invasion starts, and it got published early. Happens fairly often for draft stories to be accidentally published.

There is plenty we know about right now that could go into an article about an invasion prior to knowing the details of how this (hopefully only potential) invasion unfolds.

They also heavily pushed the Russian Collusion ™ conspiracy theory for years though, so you can't blame that on accidents.

Um... Considering this is barely front page in an uncommon hour that HN is not very active and today is Sunday?

It’s fascinating. This + his repeated use of the n-word seem to have got completely ignored in favour of conspiracy theories/censorship tirades. I think it speaks volumes of a large portion of his audience.

Because they're wildly different things.

An author deciding to not print more copies of their old book is a different thing than a library or bookstore banning it.
