"Many people outside the English-speaking world will never see those adds. Your search bubble is not others."

I am a Czech and I see them all the damn time. Maybe because I consume a lot of English content.

I generally don't use Youtube a lot and because I never log in they have no profile for me. So they show me random household ads based on location. Very poorly targeted, 90% completely uninteresting stuff. They even don't know my mother tongue :)

What I find funny is that YouTube knows who I am and where I live (English-speaking Canada), but every now and then I go through a short time period (a few days) where most of the ads are in French (for Canada).
