Why do Moldovans get add-free Youtube?
2 comments

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?
