BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Tristan Tate, a controversial figure in the world of social media, recently used X (formerly Twitter) to call upon his followers to discontinue using YouTube and participate in a boycott.
Following this statement, Tate proceeded to endorse the online video platform Rumble.
Tristan, along with his brother Andrew Tate, have effectively turned Rumble into their primary online domain by regularly hosting their 'Emergency Meeting' podcasts on the platform.
Tristan and Andrew made the move to Rumble after facing bans on all other major social media platforms, except X.
Tristan Tate urges his followers to join Rumble and boycott YouTube
In a recent post on X, Tristan expressed that minor changes in behavior can prove instrumental in the path to victory over the system.
He inquired if his followers were merely aimlessly scrolling through YouTube, hoping to stumble upon "interesting videos."
He then urged his audience to consider giving Rumble a try instead of YouTube, and he encouraged them to share screenshots of them doing so.
Tristan directed his fans to make this adjustment if they considered themselves to be his admirers.
Tristan wrote, "SLIGHT behavioural changes help us win the war. Scrolling for interesting videos to watch today?"
He added, "Try @rumblevideo instead of YouTube, post screenshots of you doing it here. It’s picking up the apple instead of the chips. Make this adjustment if you’re a fan of mine."
Tristan Tate's fans assert transition to Rumble is a 'healthy choice'
In response to Tristan's call for his supporters to migrate to Rumble and demonstrate their allegiance, numerous users stepped forward to share their perspectives on his declaration.
One fan of his wrote, "Absolute the healthy choice. Good post Tristan!" Another user wrote, "This an advert." A third person stated, "It’s a far superior platform content wise…"
One person also explained their inability to join Rumble, saying, "I would but it’s haram and strict parents."
Fan urged other admirers of the Tate brothers to make hashtag #BoycottYouTube trend
In a tweet in April this year, a devoted supporter of the Tate brothers expressed uncertainty about the accuracy of reports that Andrew's videos were no longer permitted on the platform.
However, the supporter strongly advocated for a collective boycott of YouTube's services and a transition to Rumble.
Furthermore, this supporter encouraged fellow Tate enthusiasts to uninstall the YouTube app and install Rumble, emphasizing their commitment to making the switch.
To rally like-minded fans, this individual initiated the hashtag #BoycottYouTube and urged their followers to help make the hashtag viral.
The fan wrote, "I don’t know if it’s actually true that they are not allowing @Cobratate videos on @Youtube anymore, but honestly, I think it’s time we just all boycott their service and move over to @rumblevide"
He further added, "Delete the youtube app. Download Rumble. I know I am. #Boycottyoutube Make the hashtag go viral!"
