How the two platforms stack up for musicians
Both host your video. This is the honest split — where each one helps a music creator most.
Four things music creators come to LYKSTAGE for
Earn from your very first video
No subscriber threshold, no waiting period. Your share of monetized watch time starts at 45% and rises automatically to 70% as your music reaches more unique viewers — under a patented model (U.S. Patent No. 12,684,189), funded by real advertising revenue.
Built for repeat listening
Music is the most replayed content there is — and on a watch-time model, every genuine play counts. The songs fans return to are the songs that rise. Your catalog keeps earning attention long after release day.
Plays on the big screen
Available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV. Your videos and your sound belong on the living-room system, not just phone speakers.
Fans everywhere can find you
Language- and geo-agnostic across the US, UK, Canada, UAE, and India — so a Punjabi track, a Tamil devotional, or an indie single reaches its community worldwide, including the diaspora audiences other feeds overlook.

How is LYKSTAGE different from Rumble for music creators?
Rumble is an alternative video platform with a smaller overall audience and limited mainstream discovery. LYKSTAGE is built to connect your music with a broad audience across mobile, web, and Connected TV — and creators share in monetized watch time from their very first video, with a share that starts at 45% and rises automatically to 70%.
Do I earn from my music on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. Creators share in monetized watch time from their very first video — no subscriber threshold, no waiting period. Your share starts at 45% and rises automatically to 70% as your music reaches more unique viewers. Watch time becomes monetized when the ad served during viewing is watched in full — and because music is the most replayed content there is, every genuine play counts.
Can I reach a wider audience on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. LYKSTAGE is built for discovery across five markets and every major screen — and it is language- and geo-agnostic, so your music reaches its community worldwide, including diaspora audiences other feeds overlook.
Can people watch my music videos on a TV with LYKSTAGE?
Yes. LYKSTAGE is available on 8 device types — iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Android/Google TV, Samsung TV, LG TV, and Amazon Fire TV — so your music can play on the big screen and the living-room sound system, not just a phone.
Can I use LYKSTAGE alongside Rumble?
Yes. Many creators post on more than one platform. The same video can accumulate monetized watch time on LYKSTAGE alongside anywhere else you publish — there is no exclusivity requirement, and your early watch time counts from day one.
Is it free to start a music channel on LYKSTAGE?
Yes. Starting your channel on LYKSTAGE is free. You can create your channel, upload your content, and begin building an audience — and monetized watch time — at no cost.
How does LYKSTAGE help my music get recognized?
LYKSTAGE uses a patented watch-time model (U.S. Patent No. 12,684,189) that recognises the value of genuine engagement — so the music people genuinely sit and watch, and return to, is surfaced and recognised for the attention it attracts.
