🚨 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.
