Honestly, why bother? It's pocket money and an absolute bargain to sign up yourself.

I suppose you're right, I have so many Google accounts because of workspaces or whatever they call it now not working on various things, was hoping to not need another.
In the end I didn't need a new account, so all good.

I set up India account months ago and I just notice I'm paying €8.13 per month.

Anyone know why it's this high?

Hi guys,

I purchased a family account before setting up my google family and premium is not working on the extra accounts.

Any way around this?

Have they accepted the invitation?

When i try on accept on extra accounts(with vpn on) get message "Looks like you're in a different country than the family manager."

Up and running for the 1.15 a month. One of the biggest inconveniences removed from my life. Thanks OP.

As an aside I had to register for premium through the browser as the app wasn’t showing the Argentinian price when running through tunnel bear. Indian prices showed in the app however.

Agreed. Probably the Best Bargain for a few years. Just how much time did we spending watching the adverts.

You can manually find the Irish charts, but the app/site will continue to push the country of payment's charts/recommendations etc. regardless of what country setting you have set in YouTube. I've been trying to get rid of the Indian content for ages but no luck, and googling suggests nobody else has worked around it yet either.
Its particularly annoying when it returns loads of Indian (in my case) search results and suggested playlists full of indian music, but you can mostly clear up your Home tab by listening to your own music. The default Explore tab remains a mess however. At least for me through India.

edit: looks like the above is true for the country of the accounts initial creation, rather than the country of your current payments profile.

For me it stays in Irish stuff. I used the vpn only when signing up and paying.

I'm through India also and all my content is as I would expect, BBC, rte,etc. You must have setup a brand new account with no usage to establish location patterns

Don't know what the mentions of BBC and RTE etc. are about, but yes I created a brand new account in India for it.
I assume that explains why those who just changed payment profile country on existing accounts continue to get irish charts/recommendations others don't.

Someone mentioned some posts back that they were worried about using their main account for this.
I found a Google site that enables backing up part of/entire accounts. It might come in handy for some.

I really hope this doesn’t get found out soon because it’s a great find. No ads across all devices now. Background play and downloads.

Even if they do twig it theres not a lot they can do. Recurring billing. Theyre not going to bother tracking everyone down and having a "oh well I was living in Argentina when I signed up" conversation.

And they can't hike the price too much in Argentina or no one will buy it because the place is so cheap.

id say Google twigged this before this thread was started. Google dont care. its not worth going after 10k people in ireland when maybe 100k in ireland actually pay the full irish rate.

But if everyone starts doing it, google will easily flip a switch to stop this.

I'd say more than 100 people in Ireland are doing this. Like the netflix thread, it's a tiny amount that actually like the bargain hunt.
