I wonder if Rumble would be a good place to put corporate training videos.

Had to write a note to Rumble today:

Hi Rumble,
I love what you're doing, but you're making a HUGE mistake in running site registration and your contact form through Goolge's reCaptcha.

Seriously, WTF are you guys thinking? That gives Google the ability to cut off your registration and contact form any time they want.

It's actually even worse than that. I'm a javascript programmer, so I can tell you that if you include any third party javascript, that gives that third party complete visibility into and control over your website. 3rd party javascript like Google's reCaptcha can:

- read every keystroke and mouse movement the user makes, and report it back to Google
- know the personal identity of everyone using Rumble to be added to their Google dossier and shared with the government
- quietly alter the text of your web page to make it say whatever Google wants, without your knowing
- shut down your site by making the page blank, or redirecting, or 100 other ways

Please please PLEASE do not use Google anything on your site, but especially not Google javascript like reCaptcha.

Your survival as a website depends on not using Google. You think they're just going to let you take traffic from YouTube?

Try https://www.hcaptcha.com/ like Craigslist uses (they eliminated Google reCaptcha recently). Or any other reCaptcha service if you really need one. (Do you really need one?)

Trying to help, very frustrated with alternative media suicide through Google.

Fuck YouTube!

Thank you @HunterTits

And while it’s still early days for live streaming on Rumble, it’s no surprise this Canada-based alternative video hosting service – that is supported and widely used by conservatives and libertarians in the turbulent and censorship-laden post-election period – has decided to start testing and implementing this feature.

The fact that it's owned by a company in Canada bothers me.

Rumble is experiencing massive growth as people ditch Big Tech
Rumble just had its best ever quarter.

The CEO Chris Pavlovski launched the platform back in 2013 with an aim to provide “video creators a way to host, manage, distribute and monetize their content.” The company believes in providing small creators “equal opportunity” for expressing themselves freely and giving them the same set of tools that large creators have access to.

The sudden rise in the users in Rumble’s case could be explained by the banning of President Trump and many users from Big Tech social media platforms in recent times.

Pavlovski, while providing average viewing times, said that 4.5 billion minutes were watched by the first quarter in 2021, compared to the 188 million back in the third quarter of 2020.

He said that the platform was built to support all small creators, regardless of whether they belonged to the right or left. “My goal is to keep it as fair as possible. We’re not interested in taking any position on any type of content, we just want to be a platform, and I believe that’s why we’ve seen so much growth,” Pavlovski said to Fox Business.

The platform, backed by political commentator Dan Bongino, who has also experienced much Big Tech censorship, furthermore, does not amplify any comment based on its popularity or reactions it has earned. “There is no amplification of any kind,” Rumble’s CEO said.

Rampant censorship of users on Big Tech platforms, especially around election times, has persuaded a number of Republicans to move on to using alternate platforms such as Rumble.

Pavlovski says that Big Tech, mainstream platforms were not helping small creators and have been prioritizing content based on their preferences. That is the gap that Rumble plans on bridging.

“By 2020 and 2021, large platforms were prioritizing content they want to amplify – not by small creators. That exodus has been happening in the last year at a pace that I think will set in stone for the long term—those small creators are fed up with the larger platforms and are looking for an alternative solution— and I think they found it in Rumble,” said Pavlovski.

Bitchute is good too.

Bitchute has a commenting system, but one the stupidest ones ever. If somebody make a reply to one of my comments, there is no notification - therefore it's impossible to have a conversation on the site.

It's useful for hosting video, and NOTHING else - it's also sometimes agonizingly difficult to upload videos to it.

I don't know all about that. I just use them for entertainment.

I do miss the sailing videos from yewtoob but fuck those censorious assholes. If they don't think my president should have a voice on their platform then I have no use for them. Not to mention the "fact checkers".

"Youitube is hiding the fact you posted because it has been proven before that war is peace and our community standards won't allow you to contradict the narrative."

Fuck them!

I use Rumble, BitCHUTE, and newtube for Tony Heller. Newtube also has a "random upload" feature that will show you some very interesting stuff.

You know, I have a twinge of guilt using the term FAGAT, no matter how appropriate for these companies.

Faggots are just people with a mental disorder/addiction who desperately need to believe that they were "born that way" in order not to commit suicide right now.

But they are fellow humans, and they deserve sympathy on that account in spite of their severe and likely fatal illness which they often attempt to spread to children.

On the other hand, FAGAT is a damn good acronym for remember which companies are taking away our rights.

Patrick says

Faggots are just people

Don't worry about the fags. They owned that name a long time ago.

You're a good man, Patrick. The reason, as I am sure you are aware, that people choose to ridicule these people is because of the LGBT communities agenda. Ridicule works.

Many are just perverts. There’s a reason while world banned this for years. It’s dumb sheltered people these days who never seen suffering think it’s cool and progressive to be gay. Gay propaganda does wonders. But with it comes a lot of shit and suffering that was eliminated when it was banned.

Ed Buck used to rent hobos for sex, he made foxnews front page. Killed several black men too with drugs and rape. Media hides their crimes hard. You’d think they are all angels if you didn’t see banned info.

https://reclaimthenet.org/reddit-blocks-links-to-rumble/

Reddit users have been reporting to Reclaim The Net that the social media site is censoring alternative video platform Rumble in private messages.

Screenshots shared show that the platform is informing users that their messages containing links to Rumble are blocked by domain filters.

Reclaim The Net was able to independently confirm this, also seeing that, on Desktop, any private messages that contained a link to a Rumble simply failed to turn up in the recipient’s inbox.

Rumble has dramatically grown in popularity particularly around the troubled US presidential elections in November and an onset of widespread censorship on its mainstream giant corporate competitors.

Last year, another alternative video social network, BitChute, also saw links to bitchute.com blocked in Reddit posts. Users at the time noticed that any post containing such links was being automatically removed, with no obvious moderator action taking place, while links could still be posted in comments.

When users wanted to know why this was happening, an admin said that BitChute was included in Reddit’s spam filter, and that “not all links caught in the spam filter can be re-approved by mods.”

But users were still unclear why posts could not be reinstated if a moderator approved them manually.

Both Rumble and BitChute have seen many anticompetitive hurdles placed in front of them over the past year trying to compete and ensure longevity in a market dominated by giants and permeated by censorship, and Reddit has not been the only “traditional” social network to go after them.

As reports last year detailed, Twitter was also making it difficult for users to post or follow links to BitChute as tweets containing them were getting flagged as “potentially harmful and unsafe.”

Had to write a note to Rumble today:

Hi Rumble,
I love what you're doing, but you're making a HUGE mistake in running site registration and your contact form through Goolge's reCaptcha.

@Patrick - you have time, why don't YOU make captchas?

You can make more interesting ones like, "move all the bubbles with even numbers into them into the yellow box on the left, and all the bubbles with odd numbers to the blue box on the right" (there are people who are color blind). Make interesting little puzzles. If you want to patent a bunch of methods, I know a good patent attorney.

But how to make a business out of that when Google offers their spyware for free to any site willing to betray its users' privacy?

MMMM. I need to think if there's a solution to that.

Patrick says

By selling small, classified ads...?

Patrick says

@Patrick,

Move small, classified ads for one company to one box, and for the second company to the other box?

@Rb6d This is an interesting idea.

So you make the user's work actually be advertising!

Lots of interesting sites there.

@Patrick,
And there is at least some engagement from the user - they can't ignore the ad, have to read at least name of company

This is also a good alternative video site, kinda like Rumble:

Lol, YouTube banned from Roku:

https://www.axios.com/roku-youtube-tv-removed-google-5580ffdf-b865-428c-91ca-8ad83802fedf.html

YouTube TV has been removed from Roku's channel store, after Roku and YouTube TV parent Google failed to come to a distribution agreement amid accusations that the tech giant made anti-competitive demands.

Why it matters: These spats happen regularly between Pay-TV providers and linear TV networks. But in the digital era, this is one of the rare times in which consumers will have a major streaming network removed from their platform's channel store due to a breakdown in negotiations.

Details: The channel will still be available for existing YouTube TV customers, but new users that wish to download the app from Roku's channel store will no longer have the ability to do so.

Roku is keeping the app available to existing users so that customers don't get caught up in the messy negotiations.
Earlier this week, Roku notified customers that YouTube TV may be forced off its platform if it couldn't come to an agreement with Google over a distribution deal. Notably, the dispute between Google and Roku is not over financial terms.

Roku said Google made demands that included requests for preferential treatment of its YouTube TV and YouTube apps.
Specifically, the platform cited four demands from Google that it thought were anticompetitive, including Google's request for Roku to manipulate consumer search results and grant access to data not available to other companies.
Roku also alleged that Google has tried to leverage the power of its YouTube app to force Roku to accept hardware requirements that would increase consumer costs and act in a discriminatory way against Roku.

Keeping my Roku stick. However, they did ban infowars or something. But at this point, anything that is anti-google is acceptable.

The Rumble channel on roku needs lots of work.

Rumble secures investment from Peter Thiel and JD Vance

Steven Crowder joins Rumble after YouTube suspension
He praised the platform for not censoring his content.

Ever since the mainstream media amplified former Vox host Carlos Maza’s attempts to silence comedian Steven Crowder, YouTube has consistently censored and demonetized his channel.

Now, after facing almost two years of demonetization and video takedowns, Crowder has started posting his show to the free speech friendly video sharing platform Rumble.

Rumble growing very quickly now:

https://reclaimthenet.org/rumble-jobs-2021/

As soon as they start censoring election fraud videos and vaccine death videos, then you'll know that Bezos/Gates/Soros/CCP has got to them and it's time to move on.

https://reclaimthenet.org/rumble-live-chat-live-stream-archiving/

After a record quarter and securing investment from several conservative venture capitalists, YouTube alternative Rumble has announced two new features – live chat and live stream archiving.

Live chats appear next to all active live streams on desktop and below them on mobile. Signed in users can post to the live chat at any time. ...

In addition to building out new features, Rumble’s support of free speech in the face of YouTube’s mounting censorship has helped it bring numerous creators with sizable audiences to the platform.

These creators include political commentator Dan Bongino (who is a Rumble backer, one of its most popular creators, and has the number one US news commentary podcast), comedian Steven Crowder (who has the number two US politics podcast), and One America News (OAN) (which reaches millions of viewers each month).

The platform’s CEO, Chris Pavlovski, has consistently voiced his support for a wide range of dialog, debate, and opinions on Rumble and has also vowed to never censor political discussions or opinions on the platform.

If Rumble shows a commercial it's up front. Not like the every 3 minutes bullshit that youtube does to people who watch it on roku. That if you don't cancel might run on for 20, 30mins or more.

I still use fucktube once in a while but if I want background sound (documentary, news whatever) while I'm busing doing something else it's ALWAYS rumble at this point. Lots and lots of people are moving to that platform.

https://reclaimthenet.org/christian-host-eric-metaxas-joins-rumble-after-youtube-censorship/

Another conservative figure is experiencing censorship on YouTube, reports say, as they cite radio host Eric Metaxas who revealed that Google’s video platform has removed all videos of his radio show from the channel.

Metaxas, who is a Christian author, announced the news on Twitter, but didn’t seem at all surprised. “FINALLY,” he wrote, “YouTube decided that because we violated their ‘community standards’ my show has been entirely kicked off their platform.”

He then went on to say sarcastically that “in related news” the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the North Korean government also dislike the videos – a comparison often made between the ongoing censorship on YouTube and other huge western social media platforms, and free speech suppression under those regimes.
