Buying followers has to be the most FIAT thing ever.

I hate that this is even an option.

Complete illusion we live in.

I've been trying to grow my Rumble channel (because they're bitcoiners) and it's been a struggle.

But I would never consider buying followers to give the illusion of credibility.

I feel like asking my friends on nostr is a far better option.

I would mucho appreciate 🫡

Yikes. This really puts me off Rumble altogether.

Nothing to do with Rumble

This was a response from Perplexity!

I'm pretty sure you can buy followers and subscribers on any platform. Not directly through them but others selling followers.

Oh I see, thank goodness. 🙂‍↕️

It is pathetic. Lots of engagement on videos posted on Rumble for buying services to boost views and followers.

Same thing exists on YouTube but people tend to reach out my email.

Organic growth of a channel is challenging and people continue to opt for the easy way out.

PoW is the only way.

When you post a video, post links to both yt and rumble. I hate yt, refuse to sign in, therefore can't watch about a third of that I would otherwise. If there was an alternative source for the same content I'd go there every time

It's everywhere.
