Rumble market value jumps over $200M after Dr Disrespect announcement

As a seasoned gamer who’s witnessed the rise and fall of many streaming personalities, I must admit, I’m intrigued by this Dr Disrespect-Rumble partnership. It’s like watching an epic battle unfold between two titans – the King of Chaos and the new contender in the streaming world.


In just a few short hours following the news that Dr Disrespect will be representing Rumble’s gaming division, the platform’s stock price has surged an impressive 13%.

Following several weeks of rumors and speculation, Dr Disrespect, who had previously faced controversy, formally signed a contract with Rumble on November 25, 2024. This agreement will provide exclusive content exclusively through Rumble Premium, while Doc is taking on a more significant role off-screen to assist in cultivating the Rumble Gaming community as stated in a press release.

Financial rewards linked to Rumble’s success, even including a share of the company itself, has Dr. Disrespect committed for the long term, viewing it as his most significant opportunity yet.

Following the news spreading rapidly on social platforms, Rumble has quickly reached an all-time peak. Its share price has surged by 13%, according to the initial report from Bloomberg, resulting in a total market value increase of approximately $233 million due to the announcement of the new partnership.

Since May 2024, Rumble has experienced significant growth, reaching its highest point in the market so far. However, there’s still room for improvement as it aims to surpass its record-breaking peak from 2022.

It’s not just a stream… it’s an experience.

Starting Dec. 2nd, let’s Rumble!

Another Rumble signing coming soon

The momentum shows no signs of abating, as Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski hints at further announcements. This could mean a significant partnership is imminent, increasing the likelihood that the company’s shares will keep rising in the near future.

Recently, there’s been buzz surrounding Adin Ross, the well-known IRL streamer, as he seems to have split from Kick under contentious circumstances, potentially paving the way for another platform to take advantage of the opportunity. Since he remains permanently banned on Twitch, Rumble might be a plausible choice; however, we’ll have to keep an eye on developments.

Rumble has built a reputation for housing controversial figures and promoting their freedom of expression, with Dr Disrespect the latest example. “No more cancel culture, no more suppression,” Doc said alongside news of the his arrival.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve been following the recent developments regarding my favorite streamer, Dr Disrespect. It’s been several months since the shocking news of his permanent ban from Twitch broke out. After years of mystery, the reasons behind this sudden action were finally revealed. The whispers turned out to be true: there were allegations that he was involved in inappropriate messaging with a minor on the streaming platform, intending to meet them offline.

Initially, Doc acknowledged the accusations, but vigorously protested any involvement in misconduct. Regardless of this, businesses moved swiftly to cut ties, as supporters such as Turtle Beach decided to withdraw their backing, and even his gaming studio, Midnight Society, chose to disassociate itself.

After taking a short hiatus, Doctor Disrespect resumed streaming on YouTube, even though YouTube stopped monetizing his content. Recently, he signed an affluent contract with Rumble, enabling him to carry on his career as a content creator amidst the ongoing controversy regarding his reputation.
