For those that are not aware, set your VPN to Albania and you will never see a YouTube ad again.

Why is this?

[–] Smokeless7048 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

presumably, it would be because ads are area dependent, and companies in Albania are not spending much on youtube ads.a

If you managed to get a VPN server on antarctica, you would likely see the same.

Yep.. only downside is all your search results are going to be in Albanian.

You can change region in duckduckgo manually, probably in goggle as well.
