Title: Hi HN, Is this a known thing? I&#x27;m pretty frustrated, and even given my near-complete disillusionment about capital-driven-tech these days, I can&#x27;t believe Google is doing this.<p>I just got home from being in Mexico where I used my VPN (because of course US financial apps panic if you access them outside the US).<p>I fired up my LG TV running the YouTube app (which I&#x27;m not signed into) and every, single, ad is in Spanish.<p>My Edge browser on my desktop computer gives results in Mexico and claims I&#x27;m in Quintanna Roo. In many places, I cannot override this, at least without signing in and&#x2F;or apparently explicitly feeding it more accurate location data to &quot;fix&quot; it&#x27;s perception.<p>Is this expected&#x2F;known? At one point, it even said &quot;based on your IP address&quot; despite the fact that my IP clearly looks up to a Washington State IP address.<p>I just wish I could make this known to Google&#x27;s advertisers. Are they aware that when I travel, they&#x27;re pay to show me ads that I can&#x27;t understand?
