Rumble gone- it will not work any longer Roku blocking

Rumble was working fine.  Now I can't get it to work.  Your system refuses to acknowledge that the app even exist.  Why is Roku blocking rumble.

  • Why do conservatives always assume they're being censored or "blocked."

    Your app that's publicly criticized for being LOADED with misinformation, propaganda, and far-right extremism is NOT blocked. I just accessed it to test it myself with a Roku Ultra.

    Maybe if you learned the FIRST THING about technology you'd be able to deduce that on your own. Did you even bother resetting your Roku first?

    I can literally speak search "rumble" into the remote and it pops up in the app search available to download.

    You're not being "silenced" lmao. Conservatives are always trying to manufacture outrage.

      The (old) "Rumble TV" app was deprecated/discontinued and is no longer available/working.

      However, the new "Rumble" app (version 10.5.121) is available from the Roku Channel Store and is working:  https://channelstore.roku.com/details/1d24fd627f3c8b4912bff06e96662d08:dc6a612b6d6b1a2302d5422326c9b919/rumble

      Its possible the other posters may be as "liberal" or "progressive" as you are/may be - they may simply use Rumble in order to have access to the "disinformation" and "propaganda" and "extremism", a la 'The Howard Stern Effect'...

      You may also want to consider that if they are in fact conservative they may view your news/information and outlets as likewise "disinformation" and "propaganda" and "extremism" - and therefore they simply want similar/equal/countering news/information & access...

      Finally one does not have to look "hard" or "far" to see that there are just as many examples/scenarios/situations of "cancel/censor/block assuming liberals/progressives" and/or "technology challenged liberals/progressives": technical/technology incapability/ignorance is non-partisan/political in practice...

        You're naive.

        It's known as a platform for hate. So if it WAS being blocked, that would be why. But it's not.

        The difference between other platforms and Rumble, is when you fact-check 90% of what's found on Rumble, it's a lie or it's a lie based on a truth that seems reasonable but is still a lie.

        Absolutely loaded with propaganda and misinformation instead of news, legitimate fact-checked, corroborated news.

        It tracks though, most conservatives are inept with technology and are quick to cry about censorship or being blocked when they just can't use the restart or search feature properly.

      Weird. I’d argue your reply sounds like an almost absolute illustration of manufactured outrage. Five paragraphs and no help offered? And disguising a dig as a suggestion isn’t helpful; it makes you Machiavellian. You literally virtue-signaled in lieu of actual virtue. The internet needs some censorship of mid-life-crisis Karen Logorrhea after wine o’clock so the rest of us who don’t care about opinions don’t have to dig through unhelpful diatribes on a troubleshooting forum.

      lmao.

        Calm down, you sound triggered.

        I don't think you know what virtue signaling is.

        I called out a toxic platform in a non-personal, factual way, and I sourced my reference from an unbiased and reputable site.

        You can't "signal" less than that. It's just a discussion about ethics that you're confused by since you never discuss ethics.

        Manufactured outrage = being upset at something that didn't happen, aka "waaaaa my rumble is blocked" and they simply can't use the search feature.

        People on both sides of the political aisle have condemned that platform, and it violates Roku's terms anyway. This is a joke.
