Blackrock is going after crowder, is sounds like.

[m3m]

Ya, crowder is not gonna have a good time. Look at some of the high profile defamation cases lately. Trump. Alex jones.

[Mike K.]

Seems odd for the world’s wealthiest corporation to worry about crowder.

[m3m]

Well, I don’t think it’s BlackRock. It’s the individual that Crowder is targeting that is taking action.

And we’ve seen countless times what happens when these right-wing media guys make salicious claims against individuals. It’s generally death threats against them and their family:

- see sandy hook parents with Alex jones
- see the two Georgia election workers with Rudy Giuliani
- see the Arizona election worker in the Kari Lake case
- see jean Carroll with Trump
- see Smartmatic and Dominion with Fox News et al.

Who made death threats? Crowder threatened to kill a BlackRock person?

The others are evil Mike. Get with the program!

Joe Rogan’s Spotify Deal Renewal Worth Up to $250 Million, Podcast Will No Longer Be Exclusive to the Platform

 

https://variety.com/...ive-1235895424/

 

In addition to continued availability on Spotify, Rogan’s show will soon be available on additional services, including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube. The move comes under Spotify’s revised strategy to give up exclusive streaming rights in favor of broader distribution, which the company kicked off in 2023. The Wall Street Journal first reported Spotify’s renewal with Rogan.

Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM), the high-growth video platform and cloud services provider, announced today a partnership with 1775 Coffee and the launch of an exclusive Rumble-branded product. Rumble’s 1775 Coffee features several exceptional, top-shelf varieties and adds to the ecosystem of products and services in a parallel economy aligned with Rumble’s mission and values. Featured online at 1775Coffee.com, this is the first of a series of products for freedom-loving people to enjoy.

“Not only is Rumble going to lead the way in video and cloud, but we are going to partner with brands that are willing to build long-term advertising relationships with us. 1775 Coffee is a perfect partner, and we are very excited about this new Rumble-branded product,” said Rumble Chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovski. “For once, Rumble can easily fill unsold inventory with a product that will add recurring revenue to our bottom line. If large corporate advertisers are afraid to advertise with specific audiences, we will just build the product lines to take them on,” he added.

Never thought I'd read a presser that tries to casually to make me believe that coffee + a streaming video service makes for a natural crossover product.   It's weird.... just admit that it's weird. 

 

Anyway, good for them ? 

 

Really looking forward to seeing the next 'natural brand crossover'... maybe we'll see Youtube-branded rims at Kal-Tire.

I think what they are saying is that if brands won’t advertise on their platform they will create ones that will. Doesn’t need to relate to anything but the content ad profile.

[max.bravo]

Hmm, so they’re just targeting the “alt right” demographic in general ? Like, people who use rumble are also likely to support 2A rights and watch Alex Jones, kinda thing?

[dasmo]

No, more like mainstream companies don’t want to advertise with Russel Brand let’s say. He gets hundreds of thousands of views. That’s money on the table when the model is advertising. Alt left and alt right both drink coffee and use toilet paper so they will make the brand that advertises on their platform. No need to brand it Alex Jones frog food. It’s just frog food that’s advertised during Info Wars.

Maybe that’s because RB has some skeletons in his closet, from before his podcasting days.

And one minute, he was advocating for taking down the patriarchy, now he’s advocating for taking down big pharma. Hard to tell what his agenda is.

Don’t forget he became Christian, as of this past weekend.

[Mike K.]

Actually!?

[Victoria Watcher]

Yup.

 

I really can't handle watching RB for more than 3 minutes.  He talks so oddly.

[max.bravo]

Many Christians (myself included) are kind of waiting to see how serious this foray into Christendom is. I saw a clip of him talking about it with Jordan Peterson, and RB was saying all the right things to make it sound sincere, but you just never know with celebs….

Kanye sure didn’t bear the fruit that a Christian is supposed to… last I heard, kanye has denied the faith and might be starting a **rn website?

There’s been a noticeable cultural shift back toward Christianity the last couple years. Even Kat von D, the vampiric former tattoo artist got baptized. Not sure what to make of these kind of people.
