I haven't messed with Rumble but buddy was showing me the streaming features last night and I agree, seems like great alternatives to the google machine

It's ok. UI is decent, getting better.
The problem is content blows. It's all political stuff. The great value of YouTube is the age and content.
You need to repair a car, YouTube. Plumbing, YouTube, etc .... None of that is on rumble
I always associated it with political content so that for sure tracks. I just listened to nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpq35r7yzkm4te5460u00jz4djcw0qa90zku7739qn7wj4ralhe4z6d283f on citadel dispatch and he made the point that nostr needs more communities like artists and such, I think it's the same observation wrt rumble -- critical mass of varied interests needs to hit.
Without a doubt. I think the key difference for me though is decentralization. We can use it without asking. Not rumble.
In time, we are growing. Slowly.
