    Haven’t seen them yet. Old uBlock, Russia, Linux. They haven’t put ads in videos since 03.2022 for obvious reasons, so there’s an unique rule created for us.

    Maybe it’s something of use for you all, to curcumvent it. Not via VPN tho, probs, as our local feed is a digital cancer. Opening it from a new PC is like nothing else.

      You can set the region in the settings. This way you should not get country specific recommendations.

        You should, but these can be two different columns in a dataset. Geoloc, IPs, installed languages, choosen options, history etc. A lot of harvested valuables.
