Artificial popularity. False engagement. Manipulated audience perception.

🚨 The Truth About Inflated View Counts on Rumble

Lately, I've been noticing more and more strange on Rumble streamers with hundreds of live viewers but barely any real chat activity. If you've ever watched a truly popular streamer, you know the chat moves fast, with constant messages from different users. But on Rumble? Many so-called "top" streamers sit at 400+ viewers while their chat looks like a ghost town. Suspicious, right?

This isn't just an isolated case. Viewbotting using fake or automated viewers to inflate numbers is rampant on smaller platforms trying to compete with YouTube or Twitch. Whether it's done by the streamers themselves or by the platform to make itself look more successful, the end result is the same:

🚫 Don't Fall for the Illusion

Rumble, like any platform, wants to look like it's growing fast. If it can show big viewer numbers, more content creators and advertisers might jump on board. But those inflated numbers don’t mean real engagement, real communities, or real influence. And that’s the danger—people blindly trust numbers without questioning where they come from.

💡 The Lesson: Don't Be Gullible

If you’re watching a stream and the numbers don’t match the interaction, trust your gut.

Ask yourself:

✅ Are there new people constantly chatting? Or is it the same few names over and over?

✅ Is the conversation natural, or does it feel repetitive/scripted?

✅ Does the engagement match the hype?

Don't let platforms trick you into believing their hype. Fake views don’t equal real success. In a world full of inflated numbers, the smartest thing you can do is pay attention to real engagement, not vanity metrics.

Nothing against this particular streamer. I don’t know him that well but it’s all red flags over this.

Rumble’s Viewbot Problem is Bigger Than You Think

Rumble has become a massive playground for viewbotters. Streamers like Lumpypotato, Silverfox, and now TheJoker from Kick are all operating there, and the platform seems to be pushing these old creators while heavily botting the feature section. The fact that only viewbotters defend this system and attack anyone who calls it out should tell you everything.

I genuinely think Rumble's staff is involved in pushing these artificially inflated creators to make the platform look more successful than it really is. They want big numbers to attract more users, advertisers, and investors, but in reality, it’s a manufactured illusion of popularity rather than true organic growth.

If Rumble is artificially boosting creators to manufacture popularity, it’s only a matter of time before the whole thing collapses. Stay sharp, question the numbers, and don’t let fake hype fool you.

Share this to keep people informed. The internet is full of smoke and mirrors don’t get played.

I wonder how the FTC will feel about this. They're playing with fire! The fact that they condone this and the staff is doing nothing about it is a huge red flag. Why aren’t they questioning why their chat is so dead? It’s because some staff members are doing this for them they get 30min heads up since it take time til viewbot flying in the backgroun. There other issue with rumble just read people own experience statement.

Here is a review of the platform: Trustpilot Review of Rumble.

Rumble can barely even beat Nimo TV. They bought a lot of bots during election day, managing to reach 6th place for a short time before dropping back to 7th. This is exactly why the top three platforms are the big boys because they actually hold viewbotters accountable. On those platforms, creators who abuse the system and cheat their way up get kicked out of the creator program. Rumble, on the other hand, seems to let it slide.

I have posted about this in the past as well. These are all red flags, and you’d have to be the dumbest person not to see right through this.

FTC, here I come. How would they feel about these screenshots? This is a huge red flag, and anyone with a brain can see right through it.

Don’t let them fool you!!

I don’t like being lied to, I’m sure you don’t either…

It is way harder than these folks make it seem at the start. The potential for passive income in abundance is definitely there but you have to put in the work up front to get there.

Be patient and don’t swing for the fences or you’ll strike out quick.

The idea for the tattoo was sketched by hand in the kitchen shortly after consulting with the client. In 90% of cases, I can already envision how to bring the concept to life and visualize the final tattoo through our discussions. This ability is a skill I have honed through practice and repetition. #dontbefooled #drawmore

Callout Post: Satan

This fallen angel is trying to lead good souls into darkness with him, and is actively defying his maker who only wants all of our happiness. He’s disrespectful of God, disobedient, and rallying angels to fight against God. Such a disgrace. Don't let yourself be indoctrinated by his lies. 

See you in battle, Satan, where you’ll pay for your sins and learn that your discretion comes with a price.

Media images can permeate our psyche resulting in an adoption of false characterizations. Journalists and PR reps want us to believe viewers have been clamoring for fired @nbc @todayshow host #meghankelly by reporting her appearance on a @foxnews show yesterday reached 4 million viewers. We are supposed to forget she argued Santa Claus was white and she saw nothing wrong with wearing blackface for Halloween then took a big payday from the very network that would not renew or respect @tamronhall contract and excellent service on 2 networks and 3 shows daily. At the same time @tamronhall who (through @disney) has brought intimacy and integrity back to daytime talk is getting raked over the coals for telling a past story about connecting her boyfriend to a drug dealer while in college. Journalists and magazines like @people are actually labeling her a drug dealer!!! If I did not understand the subtle yet powerful media messages that attempt to dehumanize people of color I would take these deceptive headlines on face value. #Dontbefooled #crushtheisms #crushinequality #crushracism #crushrevisisionism https://www.instagram.com/p/B3w328qnDhw/?igshid=t5ebddpi8mxm
