Rumble.com is a popular video-sharing platform that was launched back in 2013 that allows users to upload, watch, and share videos on a wide range of topics.

It’s a very ideal alternative to Twitch and youtube also since they are much more freedom of speech orientated platform and they do not have so hardcore guidelines when it comes to taboo subjects.
