Chris Pavlovski is the founder and CEO of Rumble, an online video and cloud services platform launched in 2013 as an alternative to YouTube for independent creators. As CEO, he has positioned Rumble as a next-generation infrastructure and video platform aimed at empowering creators and businesses that are wary of content moderation on larger tech platforms. Under his leadership, Rumble grew from roughly one million users before 2020 to tens of millions of monthly active users. He continues to scale Rumble globally, investing in cloud, payments, and AI capabilities to compete across both media and technology markets. 00:00:00 Chris Pavlovski 00:00:23 The Need for Rumble 00:01:13 Search Picks the Winners 00:02:39 The Stolen Content Era 00:04:07 Building for the Underdog 00:04:51 Naming Rumble 00:06:35 The Wild West Internet 00:07:45 The Monetization Pivot 00:10:13 2020 Changes Everything 00:10:34 The Call That Shifted It 00:12:34 Competing on Principle 00:16:17 Owning the Infrastructure 00:19:23 The Parler Lesson 00:21:29 Speech and Clear Lines 00:23:02 Never Moving the Goalposts 00:23:56 Honor What’s Right 00:25:01 Winning in France 00:28:54 Brazil and Due Process 00:33:42 AG1 00:36:00 47 Million Users 00:36:23 Beyond Politics 00:37:35 Creator Economics 00:38:27 Rumble Wallet 00:39:59 TV Over Phone 00:40:20 Live Is the Future 00:44:17 It Was Always YouTube 00:45:16 The Pendulum Swings 00:47:29 Macedonia and Media Smears 00:53:48 Independent Media Rising 00:54:08 First Amendment Wins 00:55:19 The July 4 Shutdown 00:56:42 LMNT 00:58:18 Global Censorship Pressure 01:01:23 AI Translation 01:02:16 Rumble Cloud 01:03:12 Election Night Surge 01:04:18 Owning the GPUs 01:06:23 The Freedom Stack 01:08:02 Money They Can’t Freeze 01:14:09 Squarespace 01:15:40 Invisible Censorship 01:18:03 Building Sovereign AI 01:19:46 Going Public Alone 01:22:53 The Vimeo Moment 01:24:08 The Creator Wars 01:26:04 Culture Expands 01:27:55 Quantum Shock 01:32:05 tetragrammaton.com
