@CyberValkyrie1 "Drive platform growth, new user sign-ups". Kinda hard to dance around this one, Val. Pack it up.

Please understand that this is one of those situations where facts don’t care about feelings. You can either accept the reality of how these platforms work and find a way to succeed within that framework, or you can stay frustrated because reality doesn’t match how you think things should work. Rumble, like every other creator platform, provides the infrastructure. Building an audience is the creator’s responsibility. If you want growth, you have to market yourself, build a brand, and bring people to your content. That’s not an opinion—it’s how the business works. And just so we’re clear, I’m literally giving away information that people pay good money to learn. Whether you choose to use it is entirely up to you.

@The_Joker Naw. Im good.

The published Creator Program language does not state that creators are responsible for marketing Rumble to their audiences. Instead, it outlines two separate things: eligibility requirements and monetization opportunities. The eligibility requirements are straightforward: creators must meet follower minimums, stream using Rumble Studio, maintain an active Rumble Premium subscription, and produce original content. There is no requirement that creators promote Rumble, avoid mentioning competing platforms, or act as ambassadors for the company. The monetization section explains how creators can earn additional compensation. It rewards creators for minutes watched, new Rumble user signups, and new Rumble Premium subscriptions that are attributed to their content. Those are incentive-based payment categories, not behavioral requirements. In other words, the program rewards creators when their content generates engagement and brings new users to Rumble, but it does not require creators to market the platform itself. If Rumble intended creators to serve as platform ambassadors or prohibit them from directing audiences to other platforms, that would reasonably be expected to appear in the program requirements or terms. Based on the published language, no such requirement is stated. A creator’s primary responsibility under the program is to create original content and satisfy the eligibility criteria. Their compensation may increase if they drive watch time and attributable signups, but that is a performance incentive, not a contractual obligation to market Rumble. So if you think that “part of it is marketing the platform.... "drive platform growth"... you know... do things that grow rumble... not go and promote other streaming platforms that take its userbase... Is kind of a no brainer,” then I appreciate you for making it clear that I should never blindly trust your judgment.

@CyberValkyrie1 I think part of it is marketing the platform.... "drive platform growth"... you know... do things that grow rumble... not go and promote other streaming platforms that take its userbase... kind of a no brainer.

@The_Joker to be fair: larger creators might have some marketing obligations written into their contracts. But, but the average creator in the creator program has no such obligation.

@CyberValkyrie1 How do you know what is the function of the Rumble creator program? Why are you speaking as if you know what they are being compensated for?

Did you not read the comments on the post I’ve been discussing all day? Because you’re not saying anything I disagree with. What you’re missing is that growing Rumble means growing your channel and getting people to subscribe to your premium content. People aren’t signing up for Rumble out of loyalty to the platform, they’re signing up because they want great content. That means the product you’re marketing is you. Convincing someone that your content is worth $9.99 a month is how you grow on Rumble. You don’t grow Rumble by acting like a cheerleader wearing a Rumble hat everywhere you go. People already know you’re streaming on Rumble. That’s all the platform advertising that’s necessary. Beyond that, your focus should be on creating and promoting content that makes people want to follow and support you.

@CyberValkyrie1 How else do you get new user sign-ups? Use your unbiased brain on this one... You must market... even word of mouth.. telling your mom to sign up... is marketing. Like.... this is like simple 101 type shiz.

Also, you’re very pedantic. You seem to have a pattern of fixating on specific words or phrases and interpreting them in their most literal sense, rather than considering the broader context and intended meaning. As a result, you often miss the nuance of what’s actually being communicated.

@CyberValkyrie1 You are spiraling. I never said Rumble was the content. My argument is.. people are getting paid by Rumble all while advertising their competitors.

@The_Joker You mean like telling people on YouTube to move over to Rumble?

From a strategic perspective, it’s generally unwise to split your audience across multiple destinations. The goal should be to funnel people to one primary channel, regardless of which platform you choose. Concentrating your audience in a single place makes it easier to build engagement, strengthen your community, and maximize the impact of your efforts. That said, this is purely a strategic consideration, not a rule. People should still be free to direct their audience to multiple platforms if they want to, especially since the Terms of Service don’t prohibit it. Do, until Rumble changes their TOS to say that promoting other platforms on their platform is prohibited, which would mess with the entire free speech mission that they’re going for, you’re not going to convince me that you’re right.

@CyberValkyrie1 Your content is the hook, Rumble benefits. However, my point still remains... People who are getting PAID by Rumble are driving traffic to Blaze and other places. That is bad for business.

@The_Joker Here’s an example of what I’m talking about. This is a video that was uploaded to YouTube. youtu.be/To61w9S5gkg?si…

Rumble creators aren’t primarily compensated to market the platform. They’re compensated for building an audience, creating content, and encouraging viewers to support them through subscriptions and engagement. Any promotion of Rumble is generally in service of growing their own business, not simply advertising the platform.

Actually.... if you are being PAID by Rumble, you better make damn sure it is worth their $$$$. Or that money ain't gonna last long. Now that Rumble pulled back the funds because said streamers didn't give a fk to promote Rumble but they went for Blaze and others.... the same streamers are angry that the metrics increased.

@KevinBarnicus Exactly!

@CyberValkyrie1 Nick Fuentes whether you like him or not is the best example. He’s been booted from almost every platform he’s been on and is now one of the most watched streamers in the world. He didn’t rely on a company to promote him, he promoted himself and his fans followed

A streamer can promote whatever they want. they aren’t obligated to act as Rumble’s mouthpiece. Some creators could actually benefit from showing people how to set up accounts on other platforms and monetize their content there, just as many creators do on YouTube. The best way for Rumble to compete with YouTube is to function more like a search engine, where people go to find answers to their questions. Rather than going to find streamers arguing with each other.

Been trying to tell people this for a while now. Support Rumble and make sure their investment in the creator program was worth it.... but then I see streamers in the program promoting other platforms while streaming getting money from the Rumble program. Ofcourse Rumble is gonna tighten its grip... ROI is mandatory to a for profit business.

@Spartan_Eternal Right!?

@CyberValkyrie1 This is making too much sense
