The updated terms define additional types of advertisements that may appear in Rumble Premium subscription content. Previously, the terms stated that Premium content may contain 'live read advertisements.' The revised language now explicitly permits 'live and previously recorded host-read sponsorships and advertisements, as well as advertisements that aired during the original run of the content, and native placement advertisements,' which may include boosted content, homepage advertisements, and related videos. The change does not restrict Premium content but instead clarifies and expands the disclosed categories of permitted ads. Premium subscribers should review these updated definitions to understand the full scope of advertising they may encounter.
