Wait, how does YouTube make money? What country are you in?
They probably make money from sharing my data with 3rd parties , though it’s not as benefitical as the data of someone in other countries I live in Syria
That makes sense as I’m sure no company wants the drama in Syria
Aww. I don’t think I wanna use a VPN there.
You mean you don’t wanna use a Syrian VPN server , or you don’t wanna use a VPN if you ever lived in Syria ?
I don’t wanna use a Syrian VPN server. I’m familiar with the name of the country which means there’s some kind of controversy happening there. That’s how I hear about places. 😅
Well the only thing you would get from a Syrian VPN server is no ads on Meta - YouTube and a few other apps , otherwise you’d need a VPN for the VPN to use things that aren’t available here … like: indeed (jobs) , Netflix , Gitlab , linktree , Google play (mostly works but sometimes need a VPN ) and other things I can’t remember
