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.

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.

Good to know. I'd rather pay for a vpn than YouTube premium.
