They're telling us how to consume content now

they do that also probably so YT Premium, you’ll have to pay more if you’re in the West

I just wanna surf with a VPN, man :frowning:

I live in Slovakia and half the times YouTube just gives me Hungarian ads so this pisses me off. I’d rather get atleast english ads instead.

Interesting that, I live in one of the most peaceful countries in entire middle Asia (Uzb) and to my knowledge, without VPN, I don’t have ANY ads from ANY youtube video, exception being Ads from content creators themselves, I am pretty lucky tbh.

Which is weird cause 90% of the location based ads i get arent even in a language i understand, or is even spoken in the country i live in.

Who is F1? Is he currently in the middle of a scandal?

I’m assuming this is another thing UBlock just causally pushes aside cause it’s based like that.

Not to do with that - when you’re connected to a VPN, that changes your internet service provider. What’s most likely happened is, YouTube’s blocked any identifiers that resembles a VPN (most likely the ASN, as it’ll be marked as a datacenter)

They can. The problem is that YouTube labels certain IPs as fake locations or similar.

It’s so that people don’t get scammed.

Well clearly it’s not working

Just use adblock, no?

I get german ads auto-dubbed to english, I guess because that is my youtube channel setting. No way to turn it off. I live in germany.

It’s mostly the recent Burger King ad, but why?

I think they mean F1 racing. Like the sport

Why do you think VPNs exist?

It’s great for personal privacy.

I do use one, however it’s annoying whenever I have to use any other device than my PC

No clue… I wish i’d get those dubbed ads instead lol

Actually… They have been invented for a completely different purpose. :face_savoring_food:

Better off not using the internet if it’s for privacy
