YouTube Premium thread SEE OP

Is the signing up to Turkey/India VPN still working or have they clamped down on this..l?

Finding it hard to justify paying the new price but do like not having ads every few minutes

Still works for me, but I've moved away from Turkey , India. Think I use Ukraine or Nigeria. Never had an issue as I make sure to run an hour of TV with Vpn on each week, might just be nothing or might be helping.

I'm g-suite too, you forgot that we aren't allowed use smart-home features either. That one made me make a gmail account.

They probably don't make more from advertising, but it is their core business, and the business baes are looking at what they can make if we all pay more. Simples.

There'd be less pain if they did indeed offer something extra to go along with the increase, like 1 membership to a channel a month like Amazon prime gaming does.

There's also been a recent problem where an advertiser was generating views on its own ads on YouTube, and a load of channels have to give the money they earned from those fake views back to YouTube.

Got the email saying my Turkey account is no longer valid, what is the best country to go with at the moment that’s working.

1. I was on a family plan in Turkey, is it best to wait for the subscription to expire and then attempt a new sign up?
2. Is it ok to use the same account in a different country?
3. Any tips on how to sign back up would be appreciated, I was happy out in Turkey for the past 3 years 🫠. So I’m a bit out of the loop on what VPN to use and payment method.

Thank you

I had my cheap Premium cancelled and with this Irish price increase there is no way I'm paying for Premium.

A friend spent some time yesterday morning sideloading Smarttube to their Chromecasts and patching Youtube with Vanced and adding that to their phone and tablet. They seem happy with that for now.

Now full

Got this fecking email just now, any advice on this one? I read back 3/4 pages and couldn’t see a similar query. Signed up to Argentina using Revolut Mastercard. Wording of this seems fairly definitive:

YouTube Premium memberships based in Argentina require a form of paymentissued in Argentina.

To maintain your membership, please update your form of payment to one issued in Argentina before 23 October 2024. If you do not update your form of payment, your membership will not renew automatically and you will lose access to your YouTube Premium benefits.

email came in for me last night, it’s been nice in Turkey for the last few years and now to find pastures new

I just use Revanced, works a treat

It's pretty easy for Google to spot, every card number is linked to a country of issue. The first 6 or 8 digits identify the county of issue. Then your address doesn't match. It's Google.... They've all my data, it's not that hard spot "mis-use". And your logging into YouTube from an IP outside of Argentina.

You don't need to cancel your current subscription, it will just not renew. So go to mange subscription when on a VPN and see what country you can sign up to.

got mine today. Price increase of 299 Rupees a month. Increased to €3.20pm. Been on India with a family plan over 3 years now. No hassle yet touch wood.

That's about it. I've added and amended my family members with no issues afterwards.

copy and pasted from a post on Reddit, confirmed and working for me. Got kicked out of Ukraine and haven’t been able to sign up anywhere else. €10.54 for a family plan, not the best but better than nothing
