I have a few ideas for a channel that I think will do well. Some people have told me to go with Rumble over YouTube as I would have an easier time gaining an audience.

My issue is that Rumble seems to be mostly politics. Like 70% of the content on there. I don't know if this is because they give it a push or what. My niche would be in gaming and I don't see very many gamers on Rumble getting good numbers.

Should I just stick with YouTube or should I try Rumble first?

A lot of young people say Rumble is "boomer coded" which means it is a platform that a lot of 60+ year olds use and it kind of shows with the content they promote to the front page. This is not to say no younger people are on there. I would say the age range though is mostly late 30s to mid 60s.

Because the content is mostly politics, you may be able to build something up easier yes but you have to hope they promote the content cause their search that is built into the platform is absolutely terrible.

Rumble has the potential to be great if they stopped pushing politics so much and fixed their algorithm and search engine. I have been wanting a YouTube alternative for years and I want to like Rumble but I just can't get into using it with these annoyances. I am not sure if it is worth it or not for content creators BUT they do allow you to put content you do on YouTube on their platform, may as well do both right?

Since posting this, I have uploaded some videos. They are hardly getting any traction on Rumble. I make sure to do the tags and everything. Of the 4 videos I uploaded, only 2 of them have a few views each. I don't get it. I can't even search for my channel on the website. How are people meant to find anything on Rumble?

This feels like a terrible website lol
