Rumble promotes itself as being "immune to cancel culture."[19] For its first seven years, content on Rumble largely consisted of viral videos and news from mainstream media sources as well as videos of children and animals. In August 2020, however, Representative Devin Nunes accused YouTube of overly censuring his channel and began posting his videos on Rumble. Other prominent conservatives, such as Dinesh D'Souza, Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, and Representative Jim Jordan, soon followed.[5][20][21] Former US President Donald Trump officially joined Rumble on June 26, 2021, in preparation for recording his Ohio campaign rally.[22]

As of August 15, 2022, Rumble has 44 million monthly active users (MAU).[1] A lot of Rumble's traffic is referred from Parler.[23] 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.[24][25][26] According to a June 2021 article from Slate, "Pavlovski has recently become more outspoken in accusing Big Tech of censorship and now actively courts prominent conservatives and intellectual dark web figures to join Rumble."[21]

Other channels on Rumble include America's Funniest Home Videos, Jimmy Dore, Alex Jones of InfoWars, American broadcasting company E. W. Scripps Company, Truly, Hodgetwins, cable news channels Newsmax and One America News Network (OAN), Russian state-controlled international television network RT and international news organization Reuters.[5][27][28][29] In August 2021, Rumble announced deals with former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard and The Intercept founder Glenn Greenwald to start posting their videos to the site.[30] After being banned from most other platforms for hate speech and harmful conduct, boxer and social media personality Andrew Tate began posting on Rumble in August 2022. Tate's move coincided with a significant increase in downloads of the Rumble app.[31][32]

Along with four other tabs in its main interface, Rumble features "recommended channels" to follow and an "Earnings" tab in its interface.[28]

Rumble also allows its users to generate revenue from their videos.[28] Users upload videos that are licensed to Rumble's partners, such as Yahoo! and Microsoft News, after which money made from those videos is directly deposited into the Rumble account of the user.[28]

The platform forbids pornography, harassment, racism, antisemitism, copyright infringement,[33] and illegal content.[5][23][34][35][36] Rumble's policies have drawn criticism from alt-tech platforms for not allowing anti-semitism and racism. [37][38]

Rumble has built its own cloud service infrastructure and video streaming capacity.[27]

Rumble received investment from venture capitalists Peter Thiel and J. D. Vance in May 2021.[7] Rumble is valued at around $500 million.[39]

In the first nine months of 2021, Rumble generated more than $6.5 million in revenue, mostly from advertisements, but was not profitable.[27]

Rumble acquired Locals in October 2021.[40]

Rumble has announced plans to trade publicly as soon as the middle of 2022 after merging with a special purpose acquisition company.[27]

On December 14, 2021, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) announced that it entered a "wide-ranging technology and cloud services agreement" with Rumble in a statement which also stated that Rumble would operate part of Truth Social as well as TMTG.[41] In August 2022, Rumble announced plans to provide an online advertising platform known as Rumble Ads, with Truth Social as its first publisher.[42][43]

On January 11, 2021, Rumble filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google over its search results, seeking damages exceeding $2 billion.[44][45] Rumble claimed that Google manipulates its algorithm so as to favor Google's YouTube over Rumble in Google search results. Rumble alleges that this reduces its viewership and results in lower advertising revenues.[46] As of August 2022, the case was ongoing. [47]
