Well, there goes Rumble’s independence.
Or Im just jaded in my old age.
A load of banks is who they are
I had the opposite impression — competition/capitalism at work.
I kinda doubt Rumble’s ESG score is going to attract many lib investors, so the prospects of being “steered” by hostile shareholders seem remote.
“under the symbols “RUM”
Good. It’s named after my favorite drink.
It’s happening. CFVI shareholders — all hands on deck.

I don’t like the huge dilution from the earnout shares at $15 a share and $17.50 a share for non CFVI holders
Shares outstanding increase 50% to around 380,000,000
What ever happened to rumble and locals merging their tech?
Maybe they’ve done something on the locals side? I don’t follow anyone on locals. Seems like mostly subscription based. I can’t afford to pay 5/mth for each of the hundred people I’d like to follow on these various pay platforms.
“Shares outstanding increase 50% to around 380,000,000”
Interesting. SChwab lists CFVI at 38.2M shares outstanding at the moment, with institutional holdings at 19% against Market cap of about $383M.

That’s a past-tense event.

Users have already been instructed how to connect their Rumble audience with their Locals account to engage the synergy of the combination of platforms.
Just little pieces embedded on one another. I thought maybe they were going to completely revamp and meld both sites together.
I think the piecewise model is a better hedge against litigative fratricide; one platform could be assailed without crippling others.
