Proton Rumble channel to mirror YouTube
Proton should create an official Rumble channel and upload its YouTube videos there as well.
Over the past several years, Rumble has established itself as a YouTube alternative that is solidly pro-freedom, anti-censorship, and NOT OWNED BY GOOGLE!
It might be necessary to be on YouTube to attract the most eyeballs, but many people who use platforms like Rumble to distance themselves from Big Tech are the same users who will resonate with Proton's privacy-conscious mission.
The amount of extra effort it takes to upload content to a 2nd platform is miniscule compared to the time and expense invested in producing the videos in the first place. Not only does this put Proton's efforts in front of another group of potential customers, but it actively supports an alternative to Google for streaming videos.

I would LOVE to see an alternate video platform so I just looked at Rumble and yikes, man. It's like youtube with all the good bits taken away. I'd genuinely rather see Proton create their own video hosting and monetization service than dive into that mess. I mean on the one hand yay for posting actual accurate content that might be helpful into the darkness of conspiracy central, but on the other hand you're basically posting into conspiracy central where "I got banned from other platforms" is a MAJOR percentage of their content creation. Like yeah, other platforms are not ideal but there's a big, big chunk of people who bring their own problems with them wherever they go on there, and your comments section is gonna reflect that.
