Rumble revised its advertising definitions and Premium Subscription terms. The updated language removes the definition of 'licensing revenue stream' and expands the types of advertisements that may appear in Premium-subscribed content. Previously, the terms stated that Premium content 'may still contain live read advertisements.' The updated terms now explicitly permit live and previously recorded host-read sponsorships, advertisements that aired during the original content broadcast, and native placement advertisements (including boosted content and homepage advertisements) to appear alongside Premium subscriptions. The change also adds a formal definition of 'programmatic' advertisements to distinguish them from host-read and sponsorship content.
The updated terms expand the types of advertisements that may appear in Rumble Premium-subscribed content. Previously, the terms stated Premium content 'may still contain live read advertisements.' The revised language now explicitly permits live and previously recorded host-read sponsorships, advertisements that aired during the original content broadcast, and native placement advertisements (such as boosted content and homepage advertisements) to appear in Premium subscriptions. This means Premium subscribers may encounter a wider range of ad formats than the prior language disclosed, though the terms do not specify frequency, placement rules, or opt-out mechanisms for these expanded ad categories.
