Our Youtube Channel
We have expanded our Social Media presence in order to try and grow our audience. Locals is a great place for us to talk to hold a conversation where we can share videos and photos etc. In 2019, Rubin and Jordan Peterson announced they were launching a far-right friendly competitor to Patreon to valiantly defend free speech, and more importantly, the profitability of said speech. Peterson and Rubin launched the underwhelming site Thinkspot in 2019 and it’s been relatievly unheard from since (possibly due to Peterson being incapacitated for the better part of a year). But in 2020, Rubin and co-founder Assaf Lev were able to pull in a fundraising round of just over $1,000,000 from 10 investors for locals.
Rumble is a great place to monetize video content. Similar to YouTube, Rumble lets users upload their videos and create their own channels. The service debuted as a desktop website in 2013 after Pavlovski saw people complaining that YouTube was making their videos harder to find because it favored clips from professional video publishers.
This year, Rumble grew rapidly, mostly from conservatives frustrated by Twitter and Facebook cracking down on hate speech and misinformation. As a result, Rumble’s top trending videos include ones from conservative political commentators Dinesh D’Souza, Dan Bongino, and Sean Hannity as well as the conservative news organization Just the News.
