    JFYI in the case of Argentinian Netflix the bad news is that the "tax" ends up more like 64% - I think they are now charging both VAT and the new digital tax.

    If they do, I'll be down about 30c and a quick switch back to India.

    My first ARS payment came out today. I was paying €18 for family sub, thanks to the hivemind in BA that's now €1.70. Thanks everyone. No sign of any additional taxes and very simple to do.

    Nice to get a bargain alert that actually involve saving money rather buying something I don't need for once! :D

    Hi, i was lurking and saw your post. I'm a member of Spotify family from here from a couple of years ago and it's been going great.

    So I'd like to join your yt family by paypal or revolute, whichever you prefer,

    Thanks,
    Peter.

    I’m all for bargains but surely at this price point we are past the need for this?

    I really don’t get it either, it’s less than €2 for a premium account and €5ish for top package on Netflix and still some people just want others to do everything for them. Bargain alerts is brilliant and has saved us all some money, but cmon lads, all the information is here on how to get it up and running for yourselves.

    I didn't read the thread, so once i saw someone asking to join a family sub, I'm all for it..

    Didn't know we could get it singly so cheap. Cheers

    No Ads. Ever.
    Google Music App which allows you to play any video as audio in the car e.g. live gigs

    Lads - can you set up a new Gmail account and tie that to your Youtube Premium and use it away on your phone without having to switch back and forth between accounts?

    I'm just a bit wary of Google shutting down my Gmail if they decide to crack down on this stuff and given that my Gmail is needed for work I'd be in a bit of sh!t...

    Yes you can. I have 5 or 6 google accounts logged in everywhere, one of which is the Indian one I use for youtube premium. In all google apps on phones/the web etc. there is an account switcher so you can easily have the default account for Youtube one account, and a different account in other services.

    I would definitely recommend setting up a new account from fresh in the country you are planning to subscribe from - especially if you use things like Google Pay etc. on your main google account.
    Not strictly related to this, but I had a lot of issues with google wallet/pay on my main account because I used that account to set up a google merchant account from the US years ago, and there was a lot of hassle updating my address etc. to use GPay.
    So anything to do with payments/addresses etc. I would definitely keep separate. Just safer all around, in addition to the point you make if google cracked down on this some time in the future.

    There is no downside to having a separate account for just YouTube that I've encountered in the 2 years I've been set up like this. Only thing I could think of was if you were really attached to your YouTube watch history or something.

    Thanks setanta, you've answered it in one go. I use Google Pay as well so I have to be careful with my "real" account.

    Might go set up a new one. Would it be similar with potential family members?

    I've been on the 'Indian' premium for over a year but naively used my normal gmail.

    Is there anyway to switch it apart from cancelling & setting up another account on a burner gmail?

    Thanks!

    Apologies for asking such a stupid question, but if I use a VPN to sign up for say...Indian youtube premium,
    will I have to continue to use the VPN to watch stuff on there, or can I switch back to my own IP address?

    The VPN is only necessary to sign-up, once completed work away as normal without using VPN.

    is there any way you can pay for a full year youtube premium outright instead of monthly.

    my old ipad had an old version of youtube that doesnt seem to the programming language to accept ads. But Youtube said this version of youtube is no longer supported.

    Probably. Between cheap family YouTube from Argentina and watching BBC iPlayer through a VPN, I feel ike Pablo Escobar. Just waiting on the Garda ERU to abseil in through my living room window at any moment.

    Contradiction there. you cant think of doing something and then do it immediately. you either immediately do something, or you think about it and do it soon.

    Is there a way around this, or do I need to start over with a new email address.

    You can add family members at any time but their Google account must be in the same country as the person who created the family sub.

    Create new emails for the people you want to add, then add emails to your family, suply people with new emails. You are done :)
    I passed on the emails to the new people i.e. they manage it themselves, then i deleted the accounts in my devices
