With age restrictions, are they going to stop blocking Prager U’s videos?

I wish more would go to Rumble. The more who go there and support it the more content providers will go there.

Rumble has a “no users under age 17” restriction...I bet they have many underage users “fudging it”....all it takes is one lawsuit.

I have no Youtube or Google accounts of any kind.

I guess I will go to Rumble for videos.

“I have no Youtube or Google accounts of any kind.”

Same here, and Rumble leans heavily Conservative...

Kind of like gun related websites asking if you are 18. What kid is going to say “Dang I really wanted to see some guns but I have to click no!”?

Their age restrictions will be designed to keep young people away from respecting our ancestors, what they accomplished, and exerting their right to self defense.

That is funny. The problem is will they be honest with it and not abuse the tool? Like use it to “identify” Conservatives and Christians underage or not for a collected database?

Yes, but is Rumble forcing a photo ID or CREDIT CARD to prove you are old enough?

I think it will be used to keep them away from Conservative and Christian content also.

Not yet, some parental complaints/lawsuits may change that in Rumble’s case...YT only requiring ID/CC if their algorithm miss-guesses your age as “under 18”...I am waiting until Midnight to see if they are going to let me see their guess for me...I am betting that it is pretty accurate in my case.

I see this becoming mainstream on all sites. Starts with porn, now YouTube. Amazon probably next.

I bet they are. I hope this causes more content creators to switch to Rumble.

One step closer to “Social Credit Score” and “Mark Of The Beast”.

Until Rumble gets a decent search feature, I shy away from it. If I want to look up a 22lr rifle, I don’t want to sort through 50 accounts that have placed 22lr in their bio. Just give me video from newest to oldest with “22lr” in the title.

Good grief Rumble, get a search engine worth something. Almost as hard as searching on FR.

Well it absolutely does do that... After you enter that in the front page search you will get a second page of results and in the right column “Sort By” are options to refine the results. One option rearranges them as “Most recent”.

The options are:

Relevance
Most recent
Likes (most)
Views (most)

Here are the results as “most recent” for your 22lr search. :)
