BREAKING: Rumble Sets New Record for Traffic, Gen Z User Growth Surges As Big Tech Censorship Rages On
human events ^

Posted on 09/08/2022 7:18:27 PM PDT by WeaslesRippedMyFlesh

Video sharing platform Rumble has broken records in August, increasing monthly active users to 78 million. This, the platform reports, is a 77 percent year over year growth. Much of that growth came from Gen Z users, between the ages of 18-24.

That growth was strong in the US and Canada, as well, with a 63 million increase, or a 103 percent year over year growth.

“When you look at the data, and especially our 63 million MAUs in the US and Canada, it is clear to me that Rumble’s growth is one of the reasons that Big Tech platforms have stagnated,” said Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski.

“In recent years, our user growth came primarily from consumers of news and political content. As new content creators come to Rumble, we are seeing growth from the Gen Z demographic, a massive new audience for our platform.”

Rumble went public in December 2021. A Canadian company, Rumble merged with CF Acquisition Corp VI (CFVI.O) with an initial enterprise value of $2.1 billion. Donald Trump joined the platform in June 2021.

Rumble describes itself as a “high-growth neutral video platform that is creating the rails and independent infrastructure designed to be immune to cancel culture. Rumble’s mission is to restore the Internet to its roots by making it free and open once again.”

Since you acknowledge this as a hostile takeover, I assume you've heard of poison pills, yet you refuse to acknowledge same.

What poison pill is that?
Twitter only started talking about poison pills AFTER Musk had made his bid. That's not how it works.
And, it was always a hostile bid from the get go. Musk bought 9% of Twitter without their knowledge before he made his bid.

The fact that Musk has invested in Twatt does not mean that he and thousands of others have not been sold by false representation.

Like I said before, he could have done a more thorough due diligence.

You may argue about his possible lack of due diligence but that is a red herring as this intense scrutiny is only available in a very big transaction when all details must be revealed.

For the most part, most big takeover bids only take place after intense due diligence. There is plenty of data you can gather about a publicly traded company before you make a bid.
You are talking about a $44 Billion deal here from one individual. That's a lot of money.
Bottom line is Musk can takeover Twitter today if he wants to.

Ah yes, but the devil’s in the now more revealed disputed details isn’t it?
A potential buyer of Twatt stock can search till hell freezes over and not uncover the actual facts of the financials.

“Bottom line is Musk can takeover Twitter today if he wants to.”
True. He can also burn 90% of his billions if he wants to.

Talk about bots on Twitter have been around for a long time.
There are plenty of data “experts” who have made it their business to research and write about that.
Nothing new there.

True. He can also burn 90% of his billions if he wants to.

Musk is worth over $250 Billion.
His Twitter bid is $44 Billion.
And he owns 9% of the company already.
He won't even get anything close to 90% of his net worth if he buys Twitter.
What more you got?
