Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has made a name for himself with content aimed at younger audiences. However, his videos have also drawn criticism for being misogynistic and potentially harmful to young viewers. As a result, he was banned from all social media platforms, including YouTube. Despite this setback, Tate was able to secure a lucrative deal with YouTube’s competitor Rumble, allowing him to continue producing content and engaging with his audience.
Andrew Tate’s legal troubles have also gained attention in recent months. Romanian authorities took him in custody on the charges of human trafficking. However, he was eventually released on house arrest. The incident has added to the controversy surrounding Tate’s persona and content.
While he has denied any wrongdoing, the allegations have cast a shadow over his reputation and raised questions about the messages he promotes in his videos.
Despite the setbacks, Andrew Tate continues to produce content on Rumble, maintaining a strong presence online. The controversy surrounding his persona and content only seems to have increased his notoriety, and his followers remain loyal.
However, the debate over the impact of his message on younger viewers continues to rage on, with some calling for stricter regulations on influencer content.
Andrew Tate fetches millions through his Rumble deal
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has signed deals with two major right-wing social media platforms, Rumble and GETTR. The Rumble deal, in particular, is reported to have earned him a staggering $9 million. The move follows Tate’s ban from mainstream social media platforms, including YouTube, due to his controversial content.
“Rumble strongly condemns human trafficking and s*xual abuse, and our platform prohibits p*rnography and all forms of illegal activity. At the same time, every accused deserves due process.“
Rumble did not confirm the exact amount of the deal. However, it did acknowledge that it has offered incentives to creators. The platform has been positioning itself as a competitor to YouTube.
Moreover, they are offering content creators the ability to monetize their content without the same restrictions as mainstream social media platforms. With the signing of Andrew Tate, Rumble appears to be doubling down on its commitment to right-wing content and courting controversy in the process.
Rumble gave Rogan 100 million reasons to join
Podcast host Joe Rogan faced significant criticism during the COVID-19 pandemic, with some of his episodes being accused of spreading misinformation. As a result, Spotify requested that he remove 70 episodes that contained profanity.
The move was seen as a blow to Rogan’s reputation, as well as a sign of the increasing scrutiny of content creators and their responsibility to promote accurate information.
They said,
“Hey @joerogan, we are ready to fight alongside you. See the note from our CEO @chrispavlovski…“

Amidst the controversy, Rumble made a bold move. They were offering Joe Rogan a $100 million deal to bring all of his content to their platform. The offer came with the promise of no censorship and allowing Rogan to keep all of his content.
Rumble even went so far as to send out a tweet announcing the offer. While it remains unclear whether Rogan will accept the offer, it is clear that the platform is making a big push to attract high-profile content creators and compete with mainstream social media platforms.
