🇻🇳 BREAKING: Vietnam just dropped a new online ad rule that’s blowing up the internet.

People keep saying “Vietnam banned YouTube ads”, that’s not what happened. The real story is Vietnam is targeting the most annoying ad formats, the ones that block your screen and trap you, and setting a 5-second max before you can close certain video style ads, plus zero wait on static overlays.

I explain what the law actually says, what it applies to, and what changes next for platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.

What do you think, should other countries copy Vietnam’s 5-second rule, or is it bad for creators?

The Story of KT

Travel trends from 2021 to 2025 show Indonesia as Australia’s most popular international destination. Its close proximity, affordable travel options, and diverse attractions from Bali’s beaches to cultural and natural experiences across the archipelago make Indonesia a consistent favorite for Australian travelers seeking both short holidays and extended stays.

In second place is Singapore, a global hub known for its efficiency, safety, and modern attractions. Australians are drawn to Singapore for its seamless travel experience, world-class shopping, family-friendly entertainment, and status as a major transit gateway connecting Asia and beyond.

Rounding out the top three is New Zealand, a destination valued for its stunning natural landscapes and cultural familiarity. With similar lifestyles, easy travel access, and iconic scenery ranging from mountains to coastlines, New Zealand remains a top choice for Australians looking for outdoor adventures and scenic escapes close to home.
