  He’s got 935 followers and about 20,000 views there

  Rumble only takes half the cut YouTube does, But the amount of traffic on there is microscopic compared to YouTube. There’s some room there to make money.

  The vast majority of the content on there is a conservative echo chamber. I’d be a little worried about his ability to maintain journalistic integrity against big companies in that ecosystem. I’m also wondering what their ads look like ;)

    TIL. It’s always rather amusing as someone outside of America that posts containing factual information get downvotes purely based on the perceived alignment of the subject on the zero-nuance American Political Spectrum.

      I certainly didn’t downvote you.

      It’s definitely not a bad idea to look. Rumble is probably the second best option which is why he’s there. But spend about 2 minutes looking around on rumble and it’s like taking your dinner in the sewer. Anti-woke, anti-DEI, crypto, people praising armed military flooding into the streets of peaceful cities. The second most popular channel on there is newsmax which is literally propaganda. His will be able to resonate with the people that are there, But the rest of the content on the site is so edgy that it pushes away the vast majority.

      One of the biggest complaints about the platform is the lack of traffic. The ease of use is there, the monetization is there, but the discovery isn’t.
