If you have a VPN, pretend you're in Moldova to enjoy ad-free, free YouTube.


Why do Moldovans get add-free Youtube?


Advertisers generally avoid spending money on displaying ads to poor countries. It is interesting to see how the ads change depending on the country your IP address is from.


I expect that Molovan businesses want to advertise there.


Very little YouTube advertising is for local businesses, partly due to geotargeting issues with YouTube ads, and YouTube isn’t a huge market for most products, due to its poverty.


Perhaps because of their interesting geopolitical situation with Transnistria?
