Rumble, the smaller-scale YouTube alternative video-sharing platform, has seen a "tremendous" increase in growth, the company's CEO told Fox Business in an exclusive interview.

Rumble's average monthly users have skyrocketed from 1.6 million in the third quarter of 2020 – around the time of the 2020 election – to 31.9 million as of the end of the 2021 first quarter.

Rumble, a Toronto-based video-sharing platform, launched in 2013 -- "not as a political platform, but as a way to provide video creators a way to host, manage, distribute and monetize their content," according to CEO Chris Pavlovski.

The company, Pavlovski said, was "built on the belief that small creators should be given equal opportunity to freely express themselves, reach their followers without restriction, and be given the same access to tools that large creators have."

But in recent months, as Republican lawmakers take on Big Tech, amid claims of censorship of conservative viewpoints and ideas, Rumble is seeing "tremendous growth."

Pavlovski told FOX Business during an exclusive interview Tuesday that in Q1 2020, the platform had an average monthly unique user rate of 1.2 million. By the end of Q3 2020, Rumble's average monthly users grew to 1.6 million, and by the end of Q4 2020, it attracted an average of 21 million users per month.

"By the end of Q1 2021, we were at 31.9 million average monthly users," Pavlovski told FOX Business. "April is looking fairly consistent."

The growth took place surrounding the 2020 presidential election and reached its current level in the months after YouTube and other social media companies permanently banned former President Trump from their platforms following the Capitol riot in January.

This is probably NOT good. It means they're infiltrated and got money from "someone." Looks like Greenwald's going to make up that lost Intercept money - ironically, his new gig is probably coming from the same source.

The fact that Omidyar-puppet, Renee Diresta, is quoted in this article is a huge red flag that aligns with Greenwald's "selection."

AND - Rumble's owner is a former MS employee. Hmmmm...

Infiltration not invasion. We'll know for sure when they start censoring videos.

The people they'll select for the big bucks will be controlled opposition. 100%
