@robertoblake They were often π₯ in πΊπΈ Live Streaming Entertainment but the decline overall has been happening for years.
There are shared viewers across left leaning channels but not even QT had this level of decline in followers.
Maybe we'll find out more from the employees soon?
@glennonchain@1MarkMoss@LuganoPlanB@rumblevideo@boldhorizonspod The Value 4 Value point in the beginning is one of the most important points that viewers rarely understand.
If viewers want to give their favorite creators the ultimate freedom, donate or sub so the creator is not dependent on ads & sponsors.
@Veralitra Bots certainly exist, but it is midterm season and a lot of his viewers watch shows with strong opinions -- it is not unreasonable to expect more disagreements during this time.
Also, it appears he stopped streaming on Rumble.
@JAN3com@Excellion@1MarkMoss@LuganoPlanB It looks like the Live Stream did not start?
Mark Moss was on the WAGMI stage a couple hours ago, was there a change in start time?

@The_Joker Instead of turning on each other, let's just solve problems together.
Rumble needs an API for each service they provide, but until they can roll those out, the community can provide solutions.

@jeffdornik@rumblevideo@ric_rac The API, SEO, & Cloudflare Blocking are issues I have brought up. If Rumble allows it, the community can create many of the tools we need.
I will need whitelisting though, my IPs get banned/blocked by Cloudflare.

@chrispavlovski The Epicenter of Freedom in AI & Cloud Infrastructure.
It would be cool if Rumble could give a creator in the Creator Program access to do interviews at these events.
Basically a way for attendees to get more exposure for their brand with the quake ai banner in the background.
It isn't "shiny object syndrome" -- it's a deliberate strategy to build a self-sustaining, uncensorable ecosystem. Far from pivoting away from video, Rumble is building the infrastructure required to protect it.
Here is how the pieces actually fit together (In my opinion, Not financial advice):
π½οΈ Video (The Core): Offering Live, Long, and Shorts captures the audience, drives engagement, and builds the community footprint.
πͺ Crypto (The Financial Shield): Traditional payment processors frequently cut off controversial platforms. Crypto integration guarantees financial independence, offering resistance to financial censorship while providing chargeback protection and seamless borderless payments.
π€ AI Compute & Cloud (The Physical Shield & Economic Engine): Owning the servers ensures no third-party host can pull the plug (as AWS did to Parler). Additionally, selling high-margin AI compute creates the massive revenue necessary to subsidize the extreme, ongoing costs of storing video indefinitely.

@jjverdi@thevivafrei Owen has way less followers, but if the event gains traction, it may be worthwhile for Bongino to video call into the event and discuss topics that might get the 9,000+ shared viewers back on the same team.
@echosofspace I don't know if it is related, but you may see a lot of outages today as a major vulnerability is patched in PHP.
PHP is the language that runs ~70% of all websites that can be identified.
There are also updates for other languages such as node. Warn your developer friends!
Will the option to inject be available on Desktop & Mobile?
Can the Producer and/or Moderator roles inject the ads?
Can you inject multiple ads or set a specific timeframe such as 3 minutes of ads (good for water/bathroom breaks)?
Will the creator earn from the ads (sounds silly but another major platform does not pay creators for the ads)?
π Austin, Texas
π΄ The Ice Poseidon Safe Zone event has started!
Streamers from across the globe have converged on one tiny circle in Austin, Texas. They must stay inside and outlast everyone else to walk away with $50,000.
The Secretary of War has confirmed the Dec. 3 firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will be livestreamed to the public.
Pete Hegseth stated the public should be able to watch so people understand that "...thereβs serious consequences...β Officials have not yet announced which platform or infrastructure will host the broadcast, stating only that "details will follow."
If carried out, this marks the first U.S. military execution since 1961 and the first by military firing squad since 1945.

U.S. military execution historical baseline (1961 hanging / 1945 firing squad): https://t.co/yfn5djTlD0
As technical and logistics details remain pending from the Pentagon, this development raises several fundamental questions for digital platforms, legal precedent, and the public:
βͺοΈ Should private video networks host a government-sanctioned execution, or does that responsibility belong strictly on state infrastructure?
βͺοΈ Does broadcasting an execution enhance government transparency and deterrence, or does it turn judicial punishment into mass public spectacle?
βͺοΈ If a verified public feed is made available, would you tune in to watch?

Nikita Bier (former head of product at X) noted that moats are shrinking to just three things: Proprietary data, Network effects, and Physical components.
But what does this mean if you're a content creator or streamer building a brand? π§΅π
https://t.co/4yIK924nHT
Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If youβre building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are:
β’ Proprietary data
β’ Network effects
β’ A physical component
3οΈβ£ A Physical Component β Meetups & Events ποΈ
Taking your digital community IRL through meetups, conventions, or local events solidifies the bond. Moving off-platform turns casual viewers into a dedicated, unshakeable community.
