To boost revenue from advertising, Amazon is thinking of creating a Prime Video tier that is ad-supported. This decision is consistent with the larger streaming market, where ad-free providers like Netflix and Disney+ have introduced ad-supported tiers.

As demonstrated with “Thursday Night Football” broadcasts, the move might also assist marketers in getting greater value out of their marketing initiatives.
