Rumble.com brands itself as a censorship-resistant platform focused on politics and news. Now, it’s expanding into gaming with DrDisrespect onboard.
DrDisrespect’s streams on Rumble might have caught you off guard if you missed the memo, but it’s yet another streaming platform on the market. DrDisrespect was a marquee signing in a bid to grow their Rumble Gaming community. Here’s an explanation of Rumble.com, and how his mission is going so far.
What is Rumble?
If you consider yourself an avid gamer and have never heard of Rumble.com until DrDisrespect started streaming on it you can be forgiven. In terms of high profile streamers, only RiceGum and occasionally Mizkif have graced the platform.
Rumble.com is a streaming platform founded in 2013 that market itself as a censorship-resistant platform. As a result, it is primarily used as a platform for discussion around political discourse and news. Well-known users include Donald Trump Jr., Russell Brand, and Dan Bongino.
Rumble.com is also home to many political shows including right-wing news website InfoWars and the pro-Trump Right Side Broadcasting Network.
Are gaming streams popular on Rumble.com?
Gaming streams have not yet gained significant traction on Rumble. News, Politics and Podcasts remain the most popular types of content by far.
TheRumble Gamingcommunity is a new vertical on Rumble.com that the platform is trying to push in 2025, in particular via the signing of DrDisrespect. However, the multi-year deal with DrDisrespect, which started in November 2024, thus far has yet to make a major impact in terms of drawing other big name streamers to the platform.
In some sense it is reminiscent of whenMixer signed Ninjaand Shroud in 2019 in the hopes it could help turn the tides and increase visibility. However, given that in the fall of 2024, DrDisrespect was demonetized on YouTube and still banned from Twitch, Rumble.com’s anti-cancel culture was likely an appealing option.
Interestingly, DrDisrespect’s Youtube monetization wasreactivated in January 2025, and the two-time currently streams on both Rumble and YouTube.
