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.

The people of this country would find it just the normal thing.

What would be terrifying about it?

Are 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.

Good to know. I’d rather pay for a vpn than YouTube premium.
