Amazon may double the time you spend watching ads on Prime Video

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-17 07:32:58

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A new report says Prime Video is increasing its ad load to four to six minutes per hour. This doubles the amount of ad time ad-tier users were previously exposed to. In terms of lightest to heaviest ad experience, it’s said Amazon’s platform is now in the middle tier. Despite immense pushback from customers, Amazon introduced ads to Prime Video in 2024. While no one likes the idea of going from no ads to ads, at least the ad experience was light comp

How to Avoid Scams and Shoddy Wares on Amazon (2025)

wired.com Jeffrey Van Camp 2025-09-17 15:37:00

With a few keystrokes you can find almost anything on Amazon ... and buy it with as little as a single click. It’s a wonderbox of capitalism. I once typed in “yak” for no good reason and Amazon’s algorithms suggested “yak cheese himalayan dog chews.” So I hit Enter and up popped pages filled with hundreds of different dog chews that I have since learned are an all-natural, satisfying, long-lasting treat for pups. Amazon had over 300 Himalayan dog chews to sift through, from hundreds of companies

A hot potato: Do you feel like Amazon Prime Video has more ads than it used to? It's not your imagination. The streamer has reportedly increased the amount of ads to nearly double the number it showed when the basic tier became ad-supported. Amazon promised "limited advertisements" when it announced the controversial change to bring commercials to its Prime service, forcing customers to pay an extra $2.99 on their subscription to remove the interruptions.

Amazon Prime Video Now Comes With Double the Ads!

It wasn’t that long ago that an ad-free experience was the default for streaming services. But companies need to make sure the line keeps going up, and one way to do that is to monetize the audience by serving them ads. Amazon introduced ads to its Prime Video streaming service last year, with the promise that it would be light and unintrusive. Well, time to juice those profits, because Adweek reports that Amazon will double the number of ads that it serves per hour to its viewers. Look at this

How to Shop Like a Pro During Amazon Prime Day (2025)

Amazon Prime Day is arguably one of the most confusing shopping holidays in existence: It’s not even a “day” anymore, as last year the event spanned 48 hours. It includes some great deals—Amazon promises “millions of deals”—but the displayed discounts are often misleading, and while it’s advertised as a members-only event, some deals are available to people who don’t subscribe to Prime. Add in the frenzy of limited-time Lightning Deals and you’ve got a recipe perfect for spending too much money.
