I’m not claiming it doesn’t have Newsmax on it. I’m claiming the service is solid. If you subscribe to people you care about (and you can find creators you like) it’s a good platform alternative. I’m the first to argue we need more YouTube creators to cross-post.

Well, maybe they just don't want to be associated with Nazis.

There are Nazis on YouTube, Reddit, and Lemmy. Why are you here? You are not automatically associated with Nazis just because they might use a platform. This is like saying veganism is evil because Hitler was a vegan.

Sure, but it doesn't change the fact that Rumble has a higher percentage of Nazis than YouTube or Odyssey.

Which proportion of a platform must be Nazi-free before you will use it? How are you measuring the Nazi percentages of YouTube, Lemmy, Reddit, and Rumble?

[–] Rolando_Cueva@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I have no problem using Rumble to find videos that YouTube doesn't have. I've done it before.

But why would content creators want to use Rumble? Unless they got banned from YouTube.

Odyssey seems cleaner, even Veritasium, who has a big channel decided to upload there.

in sheer numbers, the larger services likely host more nazis. but who gives a fuck about that? the site is run by bad people and they will measure their success in eyeballs, so you can help starve them, and there is no need to talk about how many nazis are there.
