Dr Disrespect's YouTube viewers at risk as Rumble streams gain traction

Dr Disrespect, the popular streamer who has gained a loyal following since his Twitch ban in 2020, is facing backlash from some fans as he adjusts his streaming strategy. After being demonetized on YouTube in 2024, the Doc decided to join Rumble Gaming as both a streamer and co-owner, marking a significant shift in his streaming career. However, his fans are not thrilled with the latest move.

Since December 2, Dr Disrespect has been streaming on Rumble, though he continued broadcasting free segments on YouTube. In a recent post, he suggested that he may stop the YouTube multistreams soon, leaving Rumble as the sole platform for his live content. This announcement has caused concern among his viewers, as Dr Disrespect's YouTube streams have consistently garnered larger audiences than his Rumble broadcasts.

Some fans expressed frustration, fearing that cutting down YouTube streams will limit his visibility and hinder his audience growth. The Two-Time's YouTube streams typically attract about 2,000 more viewers compared to his Rumble ones, leading some to argue that the YouTube platform is crucial to maintaining his name recognition. Meanwhile, the Doc’s paid content on Rumble is drawing criticism for its limitations and issues with the app, especially on mobile devices.

Despite these concerns, Dr Disrespect remains committed to his new Rumble deal. As the streaming landscape evolves, it remains to be seen how this transition will affect his fanbase and whether Rumble can truly rival YouTube’s massive reach.
