Rumble Video, Good And Bad: A Comprehensive Analysis | Are They Overinflating their View Counts?

Let’s talk about Rumble, the video platform. As someone who’s been amplifying & creating anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist independent media the past few years, I’ve seen YouTube censor plenty of creators. Channels and people I watch have been demonetized, others temporarily suspended for “TOS violations” that are never clear, a few were outright kicked …

BREAKING: Substack vs. Twitter - Poking Bears Has Consequences | Special Report @IndieMediaToday @SubstackInc @Twitter @TwitterAPI

This is a tough one to write. I LOVE what Substack has been doing for the past 2 years - it’s why we’re here and we advocate for most content creators to take advantage of the power of Substack. We have to look objectively at why Twitter is now restricting access to people linking to their published Substack articles

Amazon Labor Union & Chris Smalls: Sadly, Many Red Flags

Let’s talk about Chris Smalls, the Amazon Labor Union President. We LIKE Chris. We deeply admire his tenacity, his care for the health and safety for the workers of JFK8 (the Amazon warehouse on Staten Island he was fired from), and for the relentlessness he’s sustained for more than two years as he became a national figure, which he clearly never sough…

We are not pro-Putin - we are anti-war. We don’t see Russia as any more guilty than the US, who helped create this problem in the first place. Trying to be the world's policeman when we can’t take care of our own. We are opposed to sending $ billions in weapons to the Azov battalion, a Nazi militia that is officially part of the Ukrainians…

I also used to subscribe to DirectTV and remember watching Redacted on RT America thinking it was WAY funnier than any comedic news show on commercial TV.
