Joe Rogan’s recent experience with deep fake scams is a reminder of the growing need for digital literacy. Moreover, these videos get viral on platforms such as TikTok to produce any product, message, or meme.
Joe Rogan and Alpha Grind – a deep fake scandal
The video featured Joe Rogan promoting a libido booster called “Alpha Grind”, which supposedly increases testosterone levels. The video was made to appear as if he was aware of the product. Moreover, the clip was designed in such a way it appeared as if Rogan was endorsing it to his audience, but this was not the case. Coffeezilla, a guy responsible for exposing many unknown stores, posted a tweet about the matter.
Rogan said, “You’re going to find it right at the top. And that’s because guys are figuring out that it literally is increasing size and making a difference down there.“

While Dr. Huberman says it stimulates the testes if you got those to make testosterone or estrogen. In the case of the Alpha Grind product, it’s not clear whether the product works as advertised, and people should be cautious before using any supplement without consulting their doctor first.
