A fast-growing YouTube rival popular with conservative influencers has a new strategy to expand its online audience: Paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to well-known media personalities it says work to “challenge the status quo.”

The Toronto-based upstart Rumble said Thursday that it has struck deals with former U.S. congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, the journalist firebrand Glenn Greenwald and others who had committed to posting their videos first to the site.

Rumble has emerged over the last year as one of the most prominent video sites for right-wing viewers and provocateurs, and it is seeking to bolster its image as a new online home for those who claim they’ve been censored by Big Tech.

The site bans racism and hate speech but has contrasted itself with the Google-owned YouTube by refusing to remove “medical misinformation,” including those casting doubt on vaccines during a pandemic that is surging in many states and has killed more than 4 million people around the world.

Rumble has grown from 1 million active users last summer to roughly 30 million, said the site’s chief executive Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian tech entrepreneur who worked a brief internship at Microsoft and founded a viral-joke website before launching Rumble in 2013. And its traffic has exploded: According to data shared with The Washington Post by the analytics firm Similarweb, visits in the United States to the site grew from about 200,000 in the last week of July 2020 to nearly 19 million last week — a 9,000 percent increase.

Gabbard and Greenwald have expanded their fan bases in recent months by criticizing what they call overly aggressive media censorship in appearances on Fox News and Twitter, where each has more than 1 million followers.

Greenwald said in an interview he sees Rumble as a way “of liberating ourselves from the control and oppression of Big Tech monopolies’ censorship and tyranny.”

“I’m not uncomfortable if people are on there saying things I disagree with. … This is a very recent phenomenon online: We expect our platforms to be cleansed of people we dislike,” he said.

“Unlike YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, which began wildly expanding how the rules are applied for broader society to remove so-called ‘disinformation,’ Rumble just stayed true to the original mission,” he added. “You can’t go on there and say racist stuff, but they don’t monitor for what’s true or false. They really believe in true debate.”

Washington Post is just the propaganda outlet of Jeff Bezos. Nobody that reads it has a brain stem.

Seriously?

When has "DON'T LOOK HERE! IT'S BAD!" ever worked?

The censorship and silencing has been working gangbusters for sure on the mass public, but this is just idiocy.

Republicans still haven't learned to build their own fucking platforms. If they keep using left wing owned platforms, not much use to complain when they get censored.

Dictators are always scared as they know that people know their shenanigans.
Biden has truly zero support.

I always look at other nations to see future of US as they already are in that abyss.

I think there is a lot of barely suppressed anger at the CCP in China.

@patrick
Once you illegitimately take control without will of people like Xiden in US did, You have to progressively become more oppressive to hold on to power.
Only a true leader who is magnanimous enough to relinquish power when mandate ends can be truly safe and produce advancement in society.

The US constitution writers try to minimize the leader and only give enough power to govern effectively.
Trump had some bad qualities trying to amass more power than needed(US constitution helped curb it).. Xiden is puppet installed without mandate... so dangerous situation may develop in future.

It is not left wing versus right wing.

FFS.

It's criminal syndicate establishment and their dupes versus the rest of the population.

People who still think in terms of "left and right" are in an artificial prison. There's truth and lies and that's it.

Our government is run by a criminal syndicate, there isn't a any difference between the establishment that controls each party. None. They are a rapacious, criminal group of thugs that shit out garbage for the dummy left and right to fight over. Transgendered bathrooms, school prayer, abortion access, and other crap they couldn't give a FUCK about.

All the government is attempting to do is distract people as they steal from them. "The left is doing X", says the dumb "right" and the dumb "left" is "Well? The right is doing Y" - who gives a shit? Stop worrying about trivialities.

If some leftist asshole thinks their 7 year old kid has the mental competence to cut off their dick and get surgery for a fake vagina - what is that your business? It isn't - oh well, their child has been prevented from ever spreading their genes from his awful terrible parents. Boo hoo. It's not your kid, it's the kid of crazy parents.

Some right wing lunatic wants to teach their kid that evolution is a lie and that Darwin is the agent of Satan? Who cares? So their kid never goes into biology field.

Your job is to teach your children how to think, and give them access to information and let them reason, and reason with them. All the best scientists of the early 1900's were HOME SCHOOLED. Government public schools are now entirely indoctrination centers, and you can fight that as much as you like, but realize 95% of the parents there are troglodytes that are either firmly left or firmly right. This is a false dichotomy and if you're still in one of those artificial groups defined by your government at this point, I just pity you.

Information is APOLITICAL, and if you're on a platform that is political - leave it.

For starters,Sending military over own people is wrong precedent and abuse of power.(It is Hindooo or CCP like system)
Irrespective of circumstances, federal system shouldn't be trampled upon and it only will lead to dictatorship.

Did they lose against Obama's gangs?

It's worse than the whiskey rebellion!

The use of the word "troops" in those articles was false. They were federal police protecting federal buildings, no?

They were not the army, nor widely deployed.

Was there anything unconstitutional about having federal police protecting federal buildings from rioters?

He mentioned "military" to protect against civilian unrest several times.
He did deploy:

"I am mobilizing all available federal resources, civilian and military, to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your Second Amendment rights," Trump said in the extraordinary address, which was delivered as police fired smoke devices outside to push protesters back from the White House.

They want those who see to know they don't give a fuck. They know the apolitical people don't give a fuck and go along with the status quo even if they did so long as they aren't actively starving and have some Netflix.
