SLS now available only on Rumble aka QanonTube

[HelgaBliegel]

SLS switches from Youtube to Rumble, a platform famous for its "free speech" anti-censorship ideology. What bothers me most about this is thinking of all the 8th grade drop outs who wanna watch SLS and then get sucked down the right-wing pipeline faster than Andrew Cannon can say "WOW MIND BLOWING".

So they just make it harder for people who want to watch on their TV?

[Kook Me Amadeus]

That’s actually kinda fucked up.  At what point do we hold “influencers” like PRod responsible for the bullshit they shill.

[GrayCellGreen]

Out of all the platforms available, they decided on fucking Rumble. Who are they trying to appeal to with this decision? Did something happen with Youtube?

Anyone have the inside scoop on this?

[doublesteveburger]

nein club buzzer beater

[Fartknocker415]

100% horrible move that they will get away with cuz majority of sls watchers are knuckledraggers who wouldn't even care if they knew what rumble was

[WPG]

Grrrrr skate contest on its death bed isn't using my preferred video upload platform

Edit: on a more serious note I'm surprised Dyrdek never got MTV involved with SLS considering he's seemingly their only on air personality these days

[fernando the skater]

Fuck anyone involved with this.

The rumble app is on roku. I just looked it up. Still disappointed though

[Mean salto]

The USA never had sls live for free. People had to have an ESPN app or something to watch it. Guess this somehow gets around that.

[mj23]

lmao

it was already difficult to know when SLS events were actually happening, to the point that I never watched them (even though I would if it was easy to do so)

now it's only going to get more difficult

SLS is circling the drain

Well then sls is making shit up in the comments lol. I do vaguely remember every other time there was an sls thread people saying it wasn't working but maybe that was something else.

[manysnakes]

That's actually fucking hilarious. Things must be going great over at SLS HQ.

[lamfordie]

They must be truly desperate for money if Cup of Noodles is one of their main sponsors

Realistically SLS isnt making much money and Rumble probably offered them a good amount to use their platform instead of youtube... or prods a neo nazi, could go either way

[flintstagram]

Lame. It was on ESPN+ last year, then eventually put on YouTube after the fact. Guess I won’t be watching any sls this year, because I’m not trying to help rumble succeed.

IDK what's dumber

Being afraid of a streaming platform

or

Watching/paying for Street league

[launderingmoney]

That’s actually kinda fucked up.  At what point do we hold “influencers” like PRod responsible for the bullshit they shill.

Literally never. I bet you wouldn’t either. If someone gave you money right now to promote something being streamed on rumble, I guarantee you you’d take the $ and make the post. Don’t be woke for slap.

I definitely wouldn’t align with a conservative brand, but I have values so what the hey

[work_lurker]

PRods a GOAT, but honestly didn't think he was still competing in or involved with SLS at all. Dude somehow always looks stoned, but I might chalk that up to him just being very fucking chill.

I'm betting this decision was 100% financially driven, and Dyrdek had majority say. He's beyond skateboarding now and is pure businessman.

im sure he just had one too many cup o noodles in the back room before the commercial shoot

[Cool Ceith]

Sounds like a rumble fumble for these bumbaclots

[jakeumms]

So there's only one event this year that's in two weeks or so and then it will be on YT maybe the following day if not later that day. I'm not sure they thought this through. Kinda seems like Rumble might have been the only bidder. I'd rather SLS just go away then see it slutted out to shittier and shittier companies.

I write food insurance but Nissin is like a $3.5B company. That is crazy money for instant noodles.

[Billy Bitchcakes]

This is really irresponsible. I feel like the skate industry really doesn't give a fuck who it aligns itself with. The whole attitude of "ayy skateboarding's so chill man, it's all good" leads to airheads like P-rod signing off on shit like this because nobody cares about the bigger picture and only care about expanding their own slither of the industry, and corporate cunts who don't give a shit about anything can take advantage of them. It also means young skaters are particularly susceptible to right wing ideology that yammers on about "frEed0m".

Slap has such a bad rep but it's one of the only skate related platforms where there's actual real discourse going on. On Instagram you'll get flamed just for trying to raise a discussion point because it's full of fucking bozos who think critical thinking is for nerds.

I don't think I've articulated my point very well but, fuck SLS for doing this

This illustrates my point better. So many skaters literally can't get their head around the idea of somebody having a moral conscience.

[SHARPSHOOTER]

Fuck YouTube
