Thought I'd let YTtalkers know that Rumble(.)com steals videos. Here's the story.
Rumble contacted us about uploading one of our videos to their site. The video was both of my dogs singing while I play my saxophone to the New Years song. In the past the video has been aired on several major TV shows and gotten us on TV. At the time the Rumble rep didn't seem completely honest to me, so I decided to pass. Turns out my instincts were right.
A few months later I was doing my usually check for duplicate uploads. I used to do SEO, so I have some software that I use to help to speed up searches and do them in bulk to hit a lot of keywords.
I found that Rumble had uploaded a different video of one of my dogs singing on their DailyMotion channel for awhile. I thought this sort of odd and I never gave them permission to upload this video or anything on our Youtube channel. I specifically asked about this video and the rep said, "No" they just wanted the other video.
This I thought was really weird imo. I noticed the video had been distributed other places because of Rumble most likely and I'm sure they profited of re-uploading it these other outlets, without our knowledge or consent.
I wrote to the contact I had, explained the situation, and requested a clear explanation. Never got a reply. If you get a request from Rumble I'd make sure they haven't already uploaded your video without your permission and be extremely careful dealing with them. They are thieves.
