About
Rumble is an internet video-hosting and streaming platform first launched in 2013 by Chris Pavlovski as an alternative to YouTube. The platform is prominently used among many American conservative and right-wing users, with creators such as Andrew Tate, LeafyIsHere and Sean Hannity gathering large followings on the site over the years. Rumble experienced a large influx of usage during the COVID-19 pandemic and has steadily been gathering users since.
History
On October 30th, 2013, Canadian tech entrepreneur Chris Pavlovski launched Rumble as an alternative for smaller independent YouTube creators. The platform initially started out primarily hosting news clippings and viral videos but received increased attention from conservative right-wing users after the year 2019 due to an influx of content creators who were unhappy with YouTube, banned or unable to find an audience on more mainstream video platforms.[1]
Features
Rumble is a video-sharing platform similar to YouTube or Vimeo. The website's home layout displays various recommended video tiles and shows featured channels on a bar to the left. The website also has an "Earnings" tab that allows users to generate revenue from their videos. User-uploaded videos are licensed to Rumble's partners such as Yahoo! and Microsoft News, and the earnings made from this licensing are granted to the user directly.[2]

Criticism
An August 22nd Reuters article compared Rumble to its nearest competitors and noted that the platform had the most funding and use, ahead of Odysee and BitChute.The article also noted the widespread misinformation taking place on the platform.[16]
According to NewsGuard, a media analytics platform that rates the credibility of news sites, almost half the search results on Rumble related to the 2022 election came from sources rated as "untrustworthy." NewsGuard also called the platform "hoax central."[15]
