Dr DisRespect joins Rumble as content creator and advisor for new gaming section

Streamer Herschel "Dr DisRespect" has been streaming for over thirteen years in what is considered to be a rollercoaster of a career. He started off on Twitch back when it was called Justin.tv, where he gained most of his fame. His end on the platform was marked by controversy, involving allegations of inappropriate messages involving a minor, which ultimately led to a ban in 2020.

Post the ban, The Doc switched over to streaming on YouTube, where he currently has over 4.5 million subscribers. Now, the streamer has reportedly transitioned to Rumble, a growing video platform known for its commitment to free speech and alternative content hosting.

As part of a deal with the platform, Dr DisRespect will act as an advisor for Rumble's gaming community and provide exclusive, subscription-based content for his fans who form the "Champions Club".

Announced on November 25, 2024, The Doc will stream on Rumble starting December 2. In an announcement post on X, he referred to streaming on the platform as an "experience":

"It's not just a stream... it's an experience. Starting December 2nd, let's Rumble!"

In October 2024, viral reports of Dr DisRespect declining a deal with Rumble spread across the internet. The streamer along with support from the CEO of Rumble, Chris Pavlovski, denied these suggestions.

Now, over a month later, Chris welcomed The Doc on board. Via a statement in an article issued by Rumble, he expressed optimism for this new venture:

"Rumble is in a new era, and I’m laser-focused on expanding into two categories: gaming and crypto. DrDisRespect will give a much-needed injection into our gaming category.”

This move aligns with Rumble's focus on establishing itself as a major player in the gaming streaming market, a category it has been actively expanding alongside its ventures in crypto and alternative digital media. Dr DisRespect has long expressed interest in platforms that uphold creative freedom, a sentiment he reinforced when discussing the potential of Rumble and similar platforms.

In addition to his growth and strategy position as an advisor, his deal reportedly includes equity and milestone-based incentives.

The partnership comes amid Dr DisRespect’s ongoing challenges with YouTube, where his channel remains demonetized after controversies involving his Twitch ban. Rumble's approach to creator support and free expression could offer him a more accommodating environment.
