Amazon's Prime Video will have fewer ads than competitors, aiming to improve ad relevance and performance. Despite a 10% increase in Q2 net sales, Amazon's revenue fell short of expectations, leading to an 8.15% drop in pre-market trading.
Amazon's strategy to reduce ads on Prime Video could attract more subscribers, but the immediate impact of missing revenue expectations has led to a significant drop in stock price. The market's reaction to the earnings miss outweighs the potential long-term benefits of the ad strategy.
