New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on July 4, 2022) follows:
Founded in October of 2013, Rumble is an online video platform with more than 150 million monthly users.
It is popular among content creators because it is easier for them to earn money compared to other platforms like YouTube and Vimeo. Some of Rumble’s partners include MTV, Yahoo, Xbox, and others.
That said, recent reports from Rumble users suggest that the service is down or not working at the moment (1,2,3,4,5).
Many are getting a ‘500 Service Unavailable’ error while those trying to access via the app are getting an ‘API error. The service is currently unavailable’ error message.
A bunch of users tried accessing Rumble using different proxies but looks like that isn’t helping either. You can see in the image below the error message users are getting when trying to visit the website.
Many are expressing their frustration on social media platforms like Twitter. Here are some reports from Rumble users for whom the service is down or not working.
Unfortunately, we are yet to come across any official word on the matter. We hope the developers soon find out the root cause of the problem and fix it at the earliest so users can watch videos again.
Rest assured, we will be keeping tabs on further developments on the matter and update this space as and when we come across more information so make sure you stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
