I'm now paying $1.43/month for the YouTube Premium Family thanks to comments here on the Argentina hack. This is how I did it: I used free TunnelBear to VPN into Argentina. I signed up to YouTube Premium Family and used my Cash app debit card to pay. I found a random valid Argentina address for billing. Done, now I added all my family and friends Smilie

If you download and use F-Droid vice Google Play store for your android/google device, you can find some replacements for You Tube without commercial.

Two that I was using are Sky Tube and New Pipe.

But honestly, I have been using Audials for most of my music these days.

I use AdBlock Plus and Firefox and I can't recall the last time I saw a Google ad. It literally blocks on all ads on YouTube.

Why pay for what you can get for free?
brave for browser and youtube vanced for phone/tablets.

Maybe I'm just weird but I enjoy YouTube Music a lot more than I ever have Apple Music or Spotify. Feels far more intuitive for me.
Agreed - YouTube Music is extremely underrated. You can access videos/live recordings of songs or full concerts for online/offline listening.

Quote from MisterBlue :
I don't see an app called "vanced" in my Google app store. Can you elaborate please?
It's not. Open a browser, google "youtube vanced" click your first link, scroll down and download "vanced manager v2.6.2" then follow the directions here: https://www.xda-developers.com/yo...anced-apk/

Steps:
1. Download the latest Vanced Manager from here on your Android device. Note that since Vanced is discontinued, you may not be able to find the latest Vanced Manager app. Please be careful of what you download and install on your device.
2. Install the app and open it.
3. Make sure to select "nonroot" during the initial configuration wizard.
4. Tap "Install" next to MicroG.
5. Follow the instructions to allow installing from unknown apps.
6. MicroG will download and then you'll tap "Install" when it's ready.
7. Next, tap "Install" next to Vanced.
8. Select your preferred theme and tap "NEXT".
9. Select your preferred language and tap "FINISH".
10. Vanced will download and you'll tap "Install" when it's ready.
11. Success!

you can stop all that for all devices on your network with Pi-hole [privacyinternational.org]

I thought Pi hole doesn't stop ads on youtube anymore because they are hosted on the same server as the real videos?

VPN into Argentina youtube and you can have it for under $1.50 a month. Once you start the sub, you can go back to US or whatever native servers you use with no difference in service.

Ive had YT Red/Premium since 2018 and it ABSOLUTELY changes how you use the service. Without the annoying ads, you are more comfortable "grazing" on videos which you normally would not watch. Esp true on the the phone where we have exponentially lower attention span.
If you have an Android phone, just download YouTube Vanced from the XDA forums. no ads for YouTube music or regular YouTube.

Don't waste your time and money doing that. If you are on iOS...go the VPN route.

Background play shouldn't be a paid feature, for that reason I'm out.

I did the same, tunneled into Argentina VPN, then checked for YouTube premium family account, it shows as $22.99/month.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure if you used a VPN set to Argentina but if not that's probably your issue.

Must remember to cancel after 3 months.
Cancel immediately after, you still get the free trial for 3 months and won't have to remember to cancel later

I looked over your link and it doesn't actually appear to have a link for a download. I'm lucky enough to still have my copy of Vanced Manager, so I haven't had to look for it for a while, but it looks like it's not easy to get anymore.

Vanced is no longer an option for Android. It got shut down due to legal action
