Bro… I don’t want to tell Rumble how to run its own platform, but it increasingly seems like streamers are the priority. That’s fine. I’d just appreciate some transparency about that direction. The marketing heavily emphasizes livestreaming, and the UI seems designed to give streams and stream replays greater visibility than independently edited videos. My concern is that if Rumble genuinely wants to compete with YouTube, it can’t afford to overlook the long-form VOD ecosystem. Edited videos have enormous potential for long-term discovery. A video can continue reaching new viewers months or even years after publication, building an audience over time. Livestream replays can do this too, but livestreaming generally relies more heavily on real-time engagement. If recommendations prioritize what’s live or trending right now over connecting older videos with viewers who would enjoy them, Rumble could be missing out on an enormous opportunity. I’m not asking Rumble to abandon streaming. I’m asking whether edited content is genuinely part of its long-term strategy. Because a 90/10 revenue split is fantastic, but creators also need a reliable way to reach audiences organically.
