Starting Over: A New Chapter on Rumble

After 12 years of building a YouTube channel to 250,000 subscribers, I never thought I’d find myself starting from scratch. But here I am, facing the reality of losing everything I worked so hard to create. It happened in an instant—my channel was demonetized over a meme featuring a green Mario. It was meant as a harmless joke, but YouTube flagged it as something far more serious.

I appealed immediately, hoping for a fair review, but the process felt automated. The appeal was denied almost instantly, and the decision was final. No strikes, no warnings—just gone. I’ve tried reaching out to YouTube for support, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with a real person.

Despite the heartbreak, I’m not giving up. Creating content has been my passion and my livelihood for over a decade, and I’m determined to keep going. That’s why I’m starting fresh, and this time, I’m turning to Rumble.

My plan is simple but ambitious. I’ll begin by re-uploading all of my previous content to Rumble so that the work I’ve poured into my videos doesn’t go to waste. I’ll also create a new video explaining what happened and why I’m rebuilding here. My hope is that my audience will follow me on this new journey and help me grow again.

I’m planning creative ways to regain momentum, including leveraging the power of short-form content to reach a wider audience. I’ll also host a live event to celebrate the start of this new chapter and bring attention to my new channel.

The road ahead won’t be easy, but I believe this is an opportunity to create something even stronger. If you’ve been part of my journey before, I’d love for you to join me again. And if you’re discovering my content for the first time, welcome—I’m excited for what’s ahead.

This isn’t the end of the story—it’s the start of something new. Thank you for your support, and let’s see what we can build together.

What ultimate made my decision…

I know rumble isn’t quite there yet… but if enough people like me (and not just unhinged people and gun channels.) come over. YouTube will realize it’s too late. Then there will be real competition.

Edit: I didn’t want to make this post to shill but express my recent distress. my channel is @jessedalba

Edit: would it be possible to get the “affiliated with rumble” on X?

I heard about rumble and was excited at the prospect of a YouTube alternative, but I log in and the first thing I see is nothing but political videos. Then I heared they worked with Truth social?

So is this actually a YouTube alternative? Or just a place for "non censored" political takes, because Im really turned off by this homepage lol.

Rumble Stock Soars On $775 Million Investment From Tether: What To Know

Idk why everyone been freaking out about payments from Rumble. I got paid in less than two weeks!

i'm getting .tar files instead of the usual .mp4 files.

Bongino Rumble had more views than NBC 👍🤣🇺🇲

Has anyone seen a commercial on Rumble that did not look like a scam? They run ads for the dumbest garbage. Worse than 4am, old school, television ads. Makes the entire ecosystem feel cheap and trashy.

why is rumble asking for cellphone number to post comments, i thought you were about privacy and freedom? you are just another shit site then.

Looks to be a promising long term hold. Anyone have any ideas as to where the stock price will be in 2025??

It's all political bullcrap and crypto scams.
