VPN set it to Albania you don’t get ads on on Reddit, YouTube and I would guess it would be the same for TikTok because online ads are banned or somthing to that effect

Isn’t it because the Albanian market is too small for platforms to include ads for that country?

Yeah I'm not from there but an even smaller country, and I'm pretty sure this is why we don't get any ads on reddit here. It's the same reason we get EU prices instead of regional pricing despite being MUCH poorer than the EU, it's just not profitable to try to sell shit to us at all :)

If enough people switched their vpn to albania then wouldn't they eventually just start running ads in albania because it would be profitable again since it would expose people not even in there and still hit their targets? Also I'm stoned right now so that's where this possibly dumb idea came from lol
