What is Rumble?

Rumble is a user-generated video sharing platform that is available through its website and apps. Most content creators on the platform are individuals rather than companies. Rumble also allows you to browse videos via categories and live streams.

You can create channels, broadcast live streams and monetise your videos, or simply consume content. You also get email notifications when someone comments or replies to your videos.

Rumble has been associated with extreme political content and views and has described itself as a space ‘immune to cancel culture’. As with any other social media service, it is important to be wary of misinformation and disinformation when using Rumble.
