Users and content Edit
For its first seven years, content on Rumble largely consisted of viral videos and news from mainstream media sources as well as videos of kids and animals. In August 2020, however, Representative Devin Nunes accused YouTube of being overly censorious toward his channel and began posting his videos on Rumble. Other prominent conservatives, such as Dinesh D’Souza, Sean Hannity, and Representative Jim Jordan, soon followed.[1][4][5]

The platform forbids pornography, harassment, racism, antisemitism, copyright infringement,[6] and illegal content.[1][7][8][9][10]

Using data from February 2021, researchers studying conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 noted that several content creators have gained a receptive audience on Rumble after their productions have been pulled from YouTube or Facebook. They include Del Bigtree, Sherri Tenpenny, and Simone Gold.[11][12][13]

Following the 2020 United States presidential election, many conservative users of mainstream social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, migrated to Rumble.[9] According to Fortune, prior to this migration, the site was a "YouTube clone" filled with home recordings.[4]

Other users and channels on Rumble include America's Funniest Home Videos, fact-checking website Snopes, American broadcasting company E. W. Scripps Company, Hodgetwins, cable news channels Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN), and the international news organization Reuters.[1][14]

Rumble.com has received investment from venture capitalists Peter Thiel and J. D. Vance.[15] The round values Rumble at around $500 million [16
