**Spent 3 Weeks in Hospital and Noticed Something Strange About YouTube Ads**

*Posted on 11/06/25 by sushiman*

I just spent three weeks in the hospital here in Japan. During that time, I borrowed my daughter’s Windows 11 laptop to use. At home, I have Windows 10 installed on my PC.

Right away, I noticed something strange: there were absolutely zero ads when I watched videos on YouTube using her laptop. On my own PC, when I watch YouTube, ads start as soon as I click on a video and often interrupt the video during playback.

Curious, I asked my daughter if she had an ad blocker installed. She said she never watches YouTube and didn’t know anything about ad blockers.

What the heck could be the reason?

I’m a computer dummy, so please pardon my lack of knowledge regarding computers.
