Get rid of YouTube advertising without Adblocker
Just use Russia VPN. You may rent any of the Russian VPS or purchase a commercial VPN. It seems YouTube does not target advertising to Russians.
The funny experiment: you may surf YouTube from Russia, then turn on a European VPN, and whoops!.. Non-stop advertising!
- hamdouni 3y agoUsing censorship to bypass ads. Smart.
- Raed667 3y agoI would hardly call decideding not to do business in a hostile authoritarian country censorship.
- Omavel 3y agoLmao. You're mixing things up. They stopped working with Russian bloggers, not with a hostile authoritarian country (Russia).
- HipOpotamus1489 3y agoBloggers are easy target. So let's ban them!
- Omavel 3y agoIndeed. Its easy for left-wing populists to target bloggers' income than to actually cease business dealings with Russia. Europe continues trading with Russia, and the United States still buys LNG from Putins friends through intermediaries like Gunvor/Chesapeake. Yet, those influenced by populist rhetoric firmly believe that these sanction/limitations are effective against a hostile authoritarian country.
- neximo64 3y ago> Get rid of YouTube advertising without Adblocker Pay for youtube premium. Or if you have the energy to make an adblocker, instead of making an adblocker, direct it at some kind of project you could be paid for instead, and use those proceeds to get YT premium.
- thot_experiment 3y agoadvertising poisons the mind and it is unconscionable to believe only the rich should have the privilege of unadulterated thought, do not pay for YouTube premium, do not accept this as fair or just
- EduardoBautista 3y agoSo Google and the video creators should, not just provide the content for free, pay hundreds of millions of dollars for the privilege of having you as a viewer?
- calmworm 3y agoYou’ve described what YouTube used to be like.
- amadeuspagel 3y agoYes, losing billions per year, and containing mostly pirated content and cat videos.
- lnxg33k1 3y agoPoor google I hope they have enough to eat this Christmas:(
- HipOpotamus1489 3y agoI have to choose between an OnlyFans subscription and a YouTube subscription.
- cedws 3y agoWonder why YouTube still serves Russia if there is no money to be made. It's just a theory, but maybe they've been asked to by the US government to keep alternative media sources available.
- orangepurple 3y agoSame reason Voice of America exists. To spread American influence and culture.
