Dr Disrespect, the disgraced content creator who found himself at the centre of a dire scandal in recent months, has teased a departure from YouTube in favour of Rumble, a competing platform.
It all started with a new ‘DrDisrespect’ profile cropping up on Rumble, which according to StreamsCharts.com is the sixth largest streaming site by viewer numbers. From there, Rumble’s CEO posted a cryptic message on social media that many saw as a connection to Dr Disrespect.
This move has come from Dr Disrespect’s failure to regain monetisation on YouTube, which he lost when he admitted to using Twitch to inappropriately message a minor in 2017.
New Home, Same Old Doc
Rumble’s CEO has been flying in the face of controversy, refusing to acknowledge Dr Disrespect’s wrongdoing and seemingly teasing the scandalous creator’s impending arrival several times on social media. In a post on October 26, Chris Pavlovski, Rumble’s CEO, said that he’s securing the ‘biggest gaming streamer’ with a contract in 2025.
At the end of Dr Disrespect’s most recent stream, the veteran creator faded out with a cryptic sequence. His broadcast dropped to bars and tones before pivoting to a loading screen that read ‘Connection Redirected’.
Fans and critics alike have surmised that Dr Disrespect is about to announce a move to Rumble which could kickstart in 2025.
In June, the infamous streamer admitted to messaging a minor on Twitch several years ago but stressed that nothing criminal took place and that the business was long since settled. Regardless, he lost the support of hundreds of thousands of followers, had ties with other content creators cut, and was dropped by sponsorship partners.
Despite the scandal, he returned to streaming in September and pulled in substantial numbers, with his core following standing firm in the face of blatant issues.

Rumble needs to bring Sneako back and sign Vitaly and JiDion for pred catchers bring that whole creator community to Rumble it would be right at home. Adin Ross has also been teasing joining Rumble. Asmongold has also said if they ban him again he’s probably going and I mean if he wants to expose it Rumble is the only site that will let him do it with ads. Nickmercs should sign to Rumble too and if Adin goes I know Faze is heading to Rumble since Banks is probably tied to them he’s a Trump supporter too.
He would’ve never left if YouTube had given him his money. They should have just not let him stream instead they let him and stopped him from getting his money. Kick I guess is on the downhill now with Adin potentially leaving and xQc potentially leaving. They might want to bring back their controversial people like Jack Doherty and Johnny Somali. Somali I honestly think will get out of Korea just get him a house to stream from and he’s in he’ll bring his crime lord friends on stream. Kick could honestly benefit from making a deal in California for IRL streamers helping that state since they’re losing filming partners from Hollywood.
Good go to the trash third tier site with the rest of societies trash ya pdf. Then we can all properly forget about his miserable existence.
Rumble needs to get more creators. Nickmercs would be a good get and Adin is teasing a Rumble move. Asmongold seems to be ready to jump too. Caseoh should take a bag too and Speed again Rumble could snag him exclusive this time. Doc needs to beat the allegations tho….
Rumble should get XpertThief, DashieGames, CoryXKenshin, get some cleaner creators. Get Emery Reigns on too.
Huge W him joining and having a say in Rumble he actually has a good head for this stuff so good move on their part. They still need growth though the CEO is saying they’re Netflix and YouTube I don’t see how they’re Netflix? I guess we’ll get Doc on F&F soon and maybe an Andrew Tate collab.
Adin Ross and Faze are next to join Rumble. Kick can’t afford Adin anymore and Banks needs to cover the losses of new Faze. Nickmercs would be a good fit now on Rumble since his contract ended. Jidion, Omma, Skeeter, and Vitaly should do their pred catch streams on Rumble since Predator Poachers are there now and it would be way easier to show what those people are no censoring the word.
He not a pdf what you mean? You might want to bite your tongue and move to Canada just saying.
Rumble finally taking a W and weird Kick seemed to be on the up now they’re going down. If they really lost Adin the trouble begins and no more paid contracts is another reason people will leave no advertisers and no app. The only people who’d use Kick are the ones they banned like Jack Doherty and Johnny Somali they may want to make amends with those guys. Neon will stay because he’s still on contract and he’s their golden boy. The CEO needs to squash all the beefs he has with them though all the creators they banned that’s their main thing.
Now they need to get Asmongold. Honestly there’s no point in using YouTube or Twitch both suck. Kick is going downhill.
VTubers need to jump to Rumble with how they’re treated on Twitch just go there and have moderation.
Goodbye let the bigots go an play in there little playground not that YouTube is any better they still platform them
