What is Rumble?

Rumble is a video-sharing platform that is available through its website and apps. Most content creators on the platform are individuals rather than companies.

Rumble has three main types of content: videos, ‘shorts’ (videos that are 180 seconds or less) and live streams. You can browse videos by topic or search for particular videos and creators. You can follow other creators and users, like and comment on videos, or create your own channel and post content. People who post videos can earn money from them, similar to YouTube.

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.

You can use Rumble for free or through their paid subscription called ‘Rumble Premium’, which is ad-free and includes other extra features. Some creators also offer separate paid subscriptions to their individual channels.
