New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on July 4, 2022) follows:

Founded in October of 2013, Rumble is an online video platform with more than 150 million monthly users.

It is popular among content creators because it is easier for them to earn money compared to other platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Some of Rumble’s partners include MTV, Yahoo, Xbox, and others.

That said, recent reports from Rumble users suggest that the service is down or not working at the moment (1,2,3,4,5).

Many are getting a ‘500 Service Unavailable’ error while those trying to access via the app are getting an ‘API error. The service is currently unavailable’ error message.

A bunch of users tried accessing Rumble using different proxies but looks like that isn’t helping either. You can see in the image below the error message users are getting when trying to visit the website.

Many are expressing their frustration on social media platforms like Twitter. Here are some reports from Rumble users for whom the service is down or not working.

Anyone know what’s wrong with @rumblevideo? And I’ll take any advice on how to deal with this website/app. I’ve never seen something so glitchy and awful 9/10 times I try to use it. I would love to get rid of YouTube but they are the best there is by far no comparison.
