Have tried the VPN trick with several countries but never works for me, have they worked out the flaw now?

Yup that's a thing of the past at this point. See my post above for how it's done now.

I love how YouTube seems to be slapping ads on so many vids to try and push people to stump up for this "premium" crap. In my favourites list I've a load of vids that never had ads on them, now they suddenly do. And some of these are from rinky dink channels that seem long since abandoned.

We found a documentary film (i.e. feature length) on YouTube the other day when we realised NowTV has lapsed. Not one single ad in 2 hours! I was amazed.

It was Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind so a pretty high profile video.

Use Ghostery, they cracked the youtube algorithm months ago. I haven't seen an ad since early summer free of charge.
