True or false? Short-form videos are typically watched for less than 40% of their length.

Question: True or false? Short-form videos are typically watched for less than 40% of their length.

• True
• False

Explanation

Short-form video is designed for quick consumption, but strong creative can hold attention beyond very low completion levels. Video ads should use a clear hook, concise pacing, and relevant messaging to encourage viewers to continue watching. In Amazon DSP, creative performance depends on placement context, audience behavior, and alignment with the campaign objective. Watch time should be evaluated with relevant video metrics rather than assuming most viewers drop off before 40% of the video.

Why the other options are incorrect

True is incorrect because short-form video performance should not be defined by a blanket assumption that viewers usually watch less than 40%.
