“This will allow YouTube to locate the best content.”
It’s the blatant bald-faced lying that really gets me. They’re openly broadcasting how little respect they have for you, that they think you’ll swallow that as a valid reason not to function.
It’s as if some manager at Google deep down knows he’s a piece of shit who belongs in a gulag, and is subconsciously trying to bring it about.
This will allow YouTube to locate the best content.
But that you do that is the reason to use a VPN/proxy.

Ads are technically content, I suppose.
Enshittification proceeding nicely. I use Freetube on the desktop and Newpipe on my Android phone. I have ExpressVPN on my router.
I browse with invidious and just download whatever videos I want to watch with yt-dlp
That's absolute bullshit youtube, they don't need any locational stuff, other than to sell to advertisers.
.>:(
Which country gave you this prompt?
I'm trying to say give up YT, not worth it anymore.
Canada
Is it wrong or accurate to think that after the word "locate" was used I was immediately thinking of "locate your location." 😂
Its strange that they use the word "locate" than "select" or something along those lines.
I don't use proprietary, known evil services which require me to authenticate.
Freetube probably
I pretty much only use YouTube to look up specific clips of things (eg: simpsons clips, bits from movies), the very occasional video game "how do I do this specific thing?", and specific songs i don't have a copy of. I never watch any of its original content. I'm sure some of it is fine, but sturgeon's law says most of it is crap, and there's so much non-crap already on my radar to read/watch/listen to.
So fuck youtube.
There's a couple of channels that I really enjoy on there.
Yeah, fuck YouTube as a platform, but to dismiss the entire content seems a bit whack. But I guess if they're already happy with whatever it is that they're watching, it's OK, I guess.
I don't know if YouTube is full Nazi bar, but it's pretty close. You shouldn't go to the Nazi bar just because they have good cocktails and there are some good performers at the open mic.
Sometimes you have to skip things you like. There's other content and other platforms.
oh wow...
Frustrating as hell for sure, did you try switching severs?
Yeah i did
