Really enjoyed this 20-minute discussion with @krystalball and @esaagar on the one-year anniversary of 1/6 and how it is exploited and for what purposes.
Platforms that allow in-depth discussion, reach large audiences and remain independent are crucial.

(By the way: since Breaking Points is a program on which I often appear, and frequently appeared on their prior program, is it safe and fair to assume that I share all of the ideological views of its hosts and am responsible for all their pronouncements whether I'm there or not?)
Speaking of platforms enabling very large audiences to be reached while remaining independent: the views for our Rumble video reports, after just 3 months, are very high and rapidly growing. It's true of Rumble as a whole, hence the wave of media attacks on it as it grows more. 
Canada's largest paper, @globeandmail, reports Rumble's massive growth: "Two years ago, Rumble was lucky to crack a million average monthly users. In the third quarter of last year, it hit 36 million." Now, "Rumble’s valuation surged to $2.1 billion."

The article notes the standard media attack on Rumble is false. It was founded in 2013 by an apolitical Canadian to support small content creators. Its explosion isn't due to any ideology but being a *free speech platform*: its growth is fueled by hatred for Big Tech control.
One very encouraging sign: the part of the media ecosystem thriving and growing most is the *independent* part, where journalists and others can speak and report freely without corporate control. Call it Roganism: more and more people trust only independent voices and platforms.
