Amazon is now showing four to six minutes of advertisements per hour on its Prime Video streaming service. That's about double the ad load from when the company introduced ads in January 2024, according to a report from ADWEEK.

Amazon is making it easier for sellers to quickly create generative AI ads on its platform, sometimes with just a single click. Amazon Ad’s Video Generator, a free advertising tool introduced in beta last year, now has some new tricks and is generally available for sellers in the US to create “photorealistic video assets” in five minutes or less.

Adweek first got wind of Amazon’s incoming uptick in ad spots from ad buyers, but Amazon confirmed via a spokesperson that Prime Video will increase its ad runs to “four to six minutes per hour.” That’s double what the company started with when it first added advertisements to its streaming experience back in January 2024.
