Amazon is reportedly working on free ad-supported version of Prime Video

The rumors of Amazon releasing a free ad-supported video streaming service have been around for at least 3 years and now they’re being refreshed once again. According to sources who spoke with AdAge, Amazon is actively talking with “TV networks, movie studios, and other media companies” to procure content for a new free streaming service to compliment Prime Video.

Instead of just relying on content creators to come to Amazon, the new free streaming service relies on Amazon actively making deals for content. Those deals may include sharing audience information, in addition to ad revenue, with content providers. There’s even mention of paying creatures for the number of hours people watch their content, which is similar to the YouTube Red model. This would be the first time Amazon applied such a model to watching video, but they’ve used the model in the past with their Amazon Underground appstore and currently use the model to pay Alexa skill developers.
