Rumble is a Canadian online video platform headquartered in Toronto, and founded in 2013. The site was founded by Chris Pavlovski, a tech entrepreneur from Canada.[1] It has been described as a website for home recordings of people's family, friends, pets, and more recently conservative and right-wing content creators.[2][3][4]
On January 11, 2021, Rumble filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google over its search results, seeking damages exceeding $2 Billion.[2][3]
Users and content
For its first seven years, content on Rumble largely consisted of videos of pets and babies. In August 2020, however, Representative Devin Nunes accused YouTube of being overly censorious toward his channel and began posting his videos on Rumble. Other prominent conservatives and libertarians such as Dinesh D’Souza, Sean Hannity, and Representative Jim Jordan soon followed. Although the platform forbids pornography, harassment, racist content, and illegal content, anything else is permitted.[1][5][6][7][8]
Following the 2020 United States presidential election, many conservative users of mainstream social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, migrated to Rumble.[9]
Other users and channels on Rumble include Hodgetwins, TV news channel Newsmax, cable news channel One America News Network (OANN), and international news organization Reuters.[10]
Design
The interface of Rumble features "recommended channels" to follow and an "Earnings" tab, along with four other tabs in the main interface.[10] Rumble also allows its users to generate revenue off of their videos.[10] Users upload videos that are then licensed to Rumble's partners, such as Yahoo! and Microsoft News, and the money made from those videos is directly deposited into a user's Rumble account.[10] Unlike the YouTube standards, Rumble users do not have to wait to reach a certain threshold to gain access to monetization. The site allows near-instantaneous monetization with a pending system that allows videos to reach monetization closely after they are published.
Users of Rumble can win a daily cash drawing by swiping left or right to vote on videos and earn tickets.[10] The more tickets a user has, the more entries a user can submit in the cash drawing.[10]
