       | I had not heard of Rumble but my kids like watching Lofi Girl on
       | YouTube (they like the cartoon cat).
       | 
       | I noticed yesterday that one of the Lofi Girl live streams was
       | just black. I wonder if this is related.
       | 
       | The Rumble Roku app seems strange. Only one Lofi Girl video shows
       | up in search, and it's cropped front what it's supposed to be. I
       | cannot view any channels without subscribing, and I cannot
       | subscribe without logging in. I don't think I'll be watching much
       | content on Rumble any time soon.

       | Content classified as "transformative content" on YouTube, (think
       | "reaction" content, livestreamers breaking down other youtube
       | videos, re-uploads and commentary applied to existing videos etc)
       | is absolutely fascinating. Also, just the sheer amount of revenue
       | / watch time some of these channels pull down.
       | 
       | Has anyone else had direct experience / gone down a youtube
       | rabbit hole finding these channels? Many of them apply podcast
       | audio clips to a screencast of someone playing a video game, or
       | simply animate captions onto video clips.
       | 
       | That said, the copyright system on youtube is beyond broken -
       | there are good arguments for Google supporting this direction in
       | a concerted effort to erode the protections / perception of
       | copyright over time [0].

       | Is that actually a legit account? There's zero reference to
       | Rumble on the official Twitter or the website, which still links
       | to YouTube. Older videos on the Rumble channel seem to have been
       | backdated to match the YouTube videos as they have a singular
       | view or even no views[0] . Or does Rumble let you change the
       | upload date after a video has been posted?
