    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.

        Yeah, 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.

      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.
