    Lmfao. I had literally never heard of Rumble. I opened up a private browser window and pulled it up for the first time ever…the “Featured” was fucking Newsmax TV. Now obviously this isn’t indicative of the whole site but damn that does not help your point when that’s the featured for a brand new potential user

      I’m not claiming it doesn’t have Newsmax on it. I’m claiming the service is solid. If you subscribe to people you care about (and you can find creators you like) it’s a good platform alternative. I’m the first to argue we need more YouTube creators to cross-post.

          There are Nazis on YouTube, Reddit, and Lemmy. Why are you here? You are not automatically associated with Nazis just because they might use a platform. This is like saying veganism is evil because Hitler was a vegan.

            Sure, but it doesn’t change the fact that Rumble has a higher percentage of Nazis than YouTube or Odyssey.

              Which proportion of a platform must be Nazi-free before you will use it? How are you measuring the Nazi percentages of YouTube, Lemmy, Reddit, and Rumble?

                I have no problem using Rumble to find videos that YouTube doesn’t have. I’ve done it before.

                But why would content creators want to use Rumble? Unless they got banned from YouTube.

                Odyssey seems cleaner, even Veritasium, who has a big channel decided to upload there.
