I'm enjoying the cultural references in all episode titles of Rick and Morty season 9 , but this week's, Mortgully: The Last Rickforest , sounds like a complete enigma.

All we have to go on is one short line: "Rick and Morty gotta evolve, broh." Take into account eight and a half seasons of absolute chaos, and this could literally mean anything.

Still, we've only got a few days of speculating left. But when does Rick and Morty season 9 episode 7 arrive on Adult Swim, Hulu , and HBO Max ?

What time can I watch Rick and Morty season 9 episode 7 on Adult Swim, Hulu, and HBO Max?

In the US, Rick and Morty season 9 episode 7 will debut on Adult Swim on Sunday, July 5 at 8pm PT / 11pm ET .

Viewers elsewhere, as well as in the US, have two streaming options: Hulu and HBO Max. Episodes should appear on these platforms 24 hours after they've aired on Adult Swim, meaning you can expect episode 7 on Monday, July 6.

These are the timings you need to take note of:

US – 12am PT / 3am ET

Canada – 12am PT / 3am ET

UK – 8am BST

India – 12:30pm IST

Singapore – 3pm SGT

Australia – 6pm AEST

New Zealand – 8pm NZDT

Cloudflare on Wednesday said it will soon prevent mixed-use crawlers from accessing ad-supported customer websites by default, part of its ongoing efforts to give site publishers more control over how they engage with AI services. Apple, Google, and Microsoft's Bing operate crawlers that could fall afoul of Cloudflare's decision, although each of the tech giants offers an AI opt-out that may allow them to escape sanctions. Web crawlers make automated network requests to websites for various purposes. Google has used them for decades to visit websites for inclusion in its search index. Over the past few years, many crawlers have started visiting sites to harvest content for training AI models. This has prompted various countermeasures – publishers feel they're not being fairly compensated for the content AI companies scrape to feed into their models. But since Google's crawler, Googlebot, combines crawling for search indexing and content harvesting for AI training, site publishers have tended to accept the bot's presence because they fear blocking could mean they disappear from Google Search results. The situation is similar for Microsoft's Bingbot. And Apple also has enlisted its Applebot crawler to handle AI data gathering in addition to its indexing duties. The iBiz in June said: "The data crawled by Applebot may also be used to help train Apple foundation models powering generative AI features across Apple products, including Apple Intelligence, Services, and Developer Tools." Apple and Google support robots.txt directives that allow publishers to opt out of AI data harvesting (via Applebot-Extended and Google-Extended). Bing supports a content="noarchive" attribute for the robots meta tag that also blocks data harvesting. Other crawler operators, however, often ignore the voluntary robots.txt. Cloudflare therefore aims to provide site owners with a declarative content gate. "Now that the majority of traffic on the Internet is non-human, we must go further and act faster so that a sustainable ecosystem can emerge," said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, in a statement. "Cloudflare's new tools and partnerships give website owners increased visibility and commercial opportunities and reward AI companies that have bots with clear and transparent intent. We hope that our proposed default changes encourage mixed use crawlers to separate out search from agent use and training." Starting September 15, 2026, new Cloudflare customers and new sites for existing customers will default to allowing search crawling but blocking training and agents from pages with ads. The changes will also be applied to free tier customers who have not changed their settings. As the company puts it: "This ensures that content that drives revenue cannot be crawled without explicit permission of those content owners." Between humans running ad blockers and Cloudflare blocking bots from pages with ads, a lot of marketing material may be consigned to oblivion. Cloudflare customers, however, can readmit crawlers to their ad-supported pages by changing their default site settings. Cloudflare is also making two other changes. Its "Pay Per Crawl" tollbooth is being rebranded "Pay Per Use." The idea is to reward publishers when their content creates value instead of just when it's fetched. To make that happen, Cloudflare is partnering with Ceramic.ai, an API-based search biz, so that publishers get paid whenever their content appears in a Ceramic.ai search result. It's also working with You.com, a search engine for AI agents, to generate content payments whenever there's demand from an agent. A company spokesperson didn't immediately respond when asked about Pay Per Crawl uptake. Finally, Cloudflare is introducing a new Business Insights Dashboard to give publishers more visibility into how bots are consuming content and how much traffic AI models send. ®
