In the age of big tech censorship all creators must have some kind of backup plan in the event they get taken off of or throttled by one of the large gatekeepers of information and content. One of those tech giants is YouTube.
If any of you are fans of Steven Crowder, the creator and host of Louder with Crowder, you might know that he and his lawyer, Half-Asian Bill Richmond, are in the process of suing YouTube over its “content moderation practices and policies, which Crowder says are misapplied to silence conservatives.” (quote from Crowder’s site) Check out Crowder’s episode titled FIGHT LIKE HELL: Why I’m Suing YouTube! for more information (I’d add the link here but then Locals would attach the graphic to this post and I have my own stuff to plug).
I decided it’s time for me to look at alternatives to YouTube incase the crackdown continues on people with opinions outside of the Overton Window as defined and controlled by the radical Left. Now, I know you’re probably asking yourself, “Kevin, you aren’t big or famous enough to be on YouTube’s radar.” My answer to that is, “(1) that’s not a question, and (2) why are you so mean?”
But, in all seriousness, if YouTube’s policies are going to make it impossible for any mainstream source of non-Left content to thrive and grow, it’s best we all – big or small – look for alternatives. This is where Rumble comes in.
Rumble is an online video streaming platform similar to YouTube but seems to be a place more open to all views. It’s basically the Parler alternative to Twitter, but maybe a little less pointed towards being a Right-wing echo chamber. I don’t have a ton of knowledge about Rumble and almost no experience using it before today, but I have officially started my own channel and am in the process of uploading my content.
You can find my channel by searching “EngineeringPolitics” or using the following link: https://rumble.com/c/c-848207
To be clear, I will still maintain my YouTube channel and keep it up to date (so please don’t unsubscribe). YouTube will act as my primary source for my newest video content and livestreams, until Locals adds livestreaming capabilities, but I will see how well my content performs on Rumble and consider making it my primary source if it makes sense or if I’m forced to make the change.
I’m making this post for three reasons:
1. To share my thoughts on YouTube’s bad actions
2. To plug my new Rumble Channel and kindly ask you to subscribe to it if you like my content
3. To ask what your thoughts on Rumble are?
Have you been on Rumble? Do you already have a Rumble account? Have you uploaded any of your content onto Rumble? Do you think Rumble will be a big player in the video streaming world or even be around five years from now?
Let me know what you think.
I was listening to some news updates when I heard this CNN clip about the potentially hazardous water in East Palestine, and as soon as I heard her ask the question about whether or not her guest would drink the water, I IMMEDIATELY thought of this clip from South Park. Enjoy.
In this special episode of The Engineering Politics Podcast, Truman from Return To Reason is back for a new video and podcast series titled ‘Revisiting The Road To Serfdom’ where we review F.A. Hayek’s classic work, The Road To Serfdom. This episode covers ‘Chapter 15: The Prospects of International Order’.
This will be an ongoing series that covers the entire book. We put a ton of work into making this insightful and relevant, so we hope you enjoy watching/listening as much as we enjoyed reading and recording.

In this episode of The Engineering Politics Podcast, I team up with Truman from @ReturnToReason to interview one of the most intelligent and influential creators in the space of philosophy today. Stephen R.C. Hicks is a Professor of Philosophy at Rockford University, Executive Director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship, and Senior Scholar at The Atlas Society. He has written many books including Explaining Postmodernism and Nietzsche and the Nazis. We bring him on to talk about the social and political issues we are currently facing in America, and the West more broadly, and what the collectivist ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau might have to do with it.
