VPN to Europe? Otherwise not sure how the UK was ever "safe" from this.
VPN to Albania or Monaco since they don't have ads on youtube at all.
First i hear of it, is there some sort of diplomatic situation that leads to this?
Not sure. I always just thought it was due to laws in those countries.
In the case of Albania it seems that it's just as simple as youtube not being present in the country at all, and that Albania has just been allowed access to youtube despite being a money drain and them not helping pay for server costs via ads.
