Giphy has been increasing its advertising and multimedia offerings of late as it eyes profitability. Currently, advertisers can pay to promote gifs on the platform. The videos won't be eligible for that sort of advertising at the moment, but CEO Alex Chung told Varietythat they're not ruling that out.

“It will be interesting when the content isthe ad, and the ad is entertaining,” Chung said. Truly, a beautiful future.

Giphy also isn't ruling out eventually letting users upload video, although that space is currently ruled by TikTok and Instagram.

In addition to BBCA and Universal promoting their TV and movies, the hub also includes content from the Chicago Bulls (and its mascot, Benny the Bull), and a music video snippet from Marshmello, Yungblud, and Blackbear. That is what you call premium content, people.
