TL;DR
- YouTube viewers have noticed that connections from Albania don’t appear to be served advertisements.
- As a result, connecting to YouTube through a VPN with an Albanian endpoint can be an alternative to paying for Premium to get ad-free content.
- This method has its own expenses involved, could be risky, and isn’t guaranteed to last.
YouTube Premium — even paying full price for it — is easily one of the best values in streaming around. The sheer volume of content available is impossible for anyone else to touch, ranging from the briefest Shorts to satisfy our decimated attention spans, to award-winning, feature-length films. But despite there being very good reason to pony up for that ad-free YouTube Premium experience, some viewers are dead-set on not paying YouTube one extra penny. If that’s the camp you fall into, you’re going to want to know about this VPN hack.
