Amazon Prime Video’s Shift to Ads: Impact on CTV Advertising, Consumer Perspectives, and Ethical Considerations

Amazon Prime Video’s decision to introduce advertisements for its subscription-based customers marks a significant shift in the streaming landscape. Starting June 17, 2025, in markets like India, Prime Video will include “limited” ads in its movies and TV shows unless subscribers pay an additional fee for an ad-free experience—Rs 699 per year or Rs 129 per month on top of the existing Rs 1,499 annual Prime membership.
