Deep dives
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlaski discusses the growth and mission of Rumble
Chris Pavlaski, the founder and CEO of Rumble, shares the story of how Rumble was created to provide a platform for smaller creators to distribute and monetize their content. He highlights the deprioritization of small creators by incumbent tech platforms like YouTube, which inspired him to create Rumble in 2013. Chris also mentions how Rumble gained popularity in the conservative sphere in 2020 and attracted big names like Congressman Devin Nunes, Dan Bongino, and others. Rumble's commitment to free speech and fair treatment of all users, regardless of their political beliefs, has been a key factor in its rapid growth.

The conversation highlights the significance of free speech and the challenges posed by censorship on social media platforms. It emphasizes the need for platforms like Rumble that prioritize the principles of free speech and allow diverse viewpoints to be expressed without fear of being censored or silenced. The discussion emphasizes that this is not about promoting one political ideology over another, but rather about fostering an environment where ideas can be freely exchanged and debated.
The growth and success of Rumble as an alternative to YouTube
Rumble's success is attributed to its commitment to free speech and fair treatment of all creators. It provides a platform that values individual expression and offers tools for distribution and monetization to small creators who may have been overlooked by larger tech platforms. Rumble's rapid growth, with millions of users and an increasing number of high-profile individuals joining the platform, serves as evidence of the demand for alternative platforms that prioritize free speech and provide opportunities for creators to reach larger audiences.
The future of online media and the importance of independent journalism
The conversation explores the future of online media and the role of independent journalism in a time when trust in mainstream media has eroded. It underscores the importance of robust and diverse media landscapes that allow for different perspectives and ideas to be heard. Independent media platforms like Rumble are celebrated for providing a space where objective reporting and open dialogue can thrive.
Rumble: A Platform for Free Expression
Rumble is a platform that prioritizes free expression and stands against censorship. Unlike other platforms such as YouTube, Rumble does not suppress certain discussions or favor specific topics. It provides a space for authentic content, where creators can speak their minds without fear of being silenced or demonetized. Rumble's mission is to uphold the principles of free speech and to allow viewers to access diverse viewpoints and independent voices. The platform has faced challenges, including requests from governments to remove certain creators or channels, but Rumble remains steadfast in its commitment to free expression.
The Need for an Alternative to Big Tech
The podcast highlights the growing need for alternatives to big tech platforms like Amazon and YouTube. These platforms have been known to suppress speech, silence certain voices, and dictate what content users can access. The rise of alternative platforms like Rumble, Public Square, and others provides individuals with options to support companies that align with their values and promote free expression. These alternatives aim to create a parallel economy that challenges the dominance of big tech and offers a space for diverse viewpoints and independent businesses.
Financial Institutions and the Threat to Freedom of Speech
The podcast also explores the issue of financial institutions and their potential threat to freedom of speech.
