Rumble’s 16% Surge: AI Partnership or Just Hype?
After hours, Rumble dropped a press release that sounded like a LinkedIn post written by a robot who’s never used social media. They’re teaming up with Perplexity AI to “enhance content discoverability,” which is just corporate jargon for “we’re trying to stop users from fleeing to YouTube.” The plan? Soup up Rumble’s search function and bundle Perplexity Pro into a subscription. Because nothing says “innovation” like charging users twice for the same thing.
