Even then, the only fool proof way of getting around server side ads is using an adblocking proxy that pipes the video stream into a different country. And public proxies available are not foolproof because of excessive traffic or whatnot.

And specifically this is for TTV.LOL revolving around Twitch.

I think the same applies to YouTube in the same countries Twitch can't play ads in. But I haven't seen anything about YouTube adblocking proxies like TTV.LOL.

Why is it that they can’t play ads in certain countries?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Theres basically a bunch of countries that forbid Twitch or YouTube from playing ads. Like at all.
