Agreed, great advertising idea, plenty of attention for Rumble. Joe Rogan has apparently declined the offer saying that he will stick with Spotify for now and see how things go. From what I am hearing Spotify have deleted a good number of his episodes from over the years that are 'controversial'. It will be interesting to see what happens with his podcast in the future.

“Today marks an amazing milestone for our company, and one that I have been looking forward to for a long time,” said Chris Pavlovski, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rumble. “This transaction allows Rumble to fund a wide range of business initiatives, including the development of our independent infrastructure while we continue to add top creators to our platforms. I am extremely excited to report that despite current market conditions, we have retained nearly all the cash in trust, with nearly zero redemptions from CFVI shareholders. This is truly a vote of confidence in our mission and platform, and I look forward to further delivering for all our constituents going forward.

Lastly, I would like to thank Rumble’s employees who have worked tirelessly to get us where we are today. Congratulations to the entire Rumble team on this incredible achievement,” concluded Chris Pavlovski.
