minus-squareRolando@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up170arrow-down1·1 year ago some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan. Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.

minus-squarederanger@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up49·1 year agoYeah, I don’t see what’s terrifying. Countries can make laws, if YouTube wants to operate in that market it has to follow the laws there.

minus-squareConfused_Emus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-21 year agoAre these countries even safe to host a VPN server in? Edit: Just checked my VPN (Proton) and it has options to connect to Myanmar and Albania. Nifty.
minus-squareVeticia@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoGood to know. I’d rather pay for a vpn than YouTube premium.
minus-squareTechnoguyfication@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoI’m wondering how the hell YouTube even makes money in those regions then. They must operate there at a massive loss.
