A US support page for Max currently says that subscribers to Max with ads “can expect about 6 minutes of ads per hour.” But PCWorld noticed this week that this differs from what Max used to claim, which as

A hot potato: A week after a report showed that Amazon Prime has doubled the amount of ads it shows on the platform, it's been discovered that Max is doing the same thing.
