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.

I just went the VPN way and it WORKS !!

I used Turkey as is cheapest with the inflation ravaging the country there 70% year over year

HERE ARE THE STEPS:

• Make new Gmail Account, can put fake name, mine is "Catch Not"

• Turn on VNP with location Turkey

• Open Icognito Page in BROWSER

• Navigate to YouTube.com

• Sign in with the new email adress

• Click on the menu of the left, find "YouTube Premium" button

• Monthly is $16.99TRY - about $1 a month, or you can sub yearly and get a discount - $169TRY which is about $10 a year

• Click "Try For Free" button

• Will ask for Credit Card - add your regular credit card, or WHATEVER you want to pay with

• I used my every day credit card, and entered my actual name there (or it wont go thru obviously)

• Enter your Expiration Date and 3 digit code from the back of the card

• DO NOT ENTER BILLING ADRESS !!

• It did NOT ask me to put a residential adress on anywhere either.

• Just press pay, and enjoy YouTube Premium for less than $1 a month, and trust me, with the inflation will only get CHEAPER from now on!

Correction, there are no problems currently. Hopefully it will remain that way but there is potential for Google to catch on and ban your main account including gmail/gdocs/maps/all apps.

I may use this loophole in the future but I'll definitely create a new account to associate with it, the only problem is the almighty Youtube algorithm won't know what videos I like and dislike.

Quote from snovvman :
I've read many creating a new account in fear of being banned, while others do it because this workaround cannot be done if they had a previous subscription. Did you use a new account because of the ban issue? If yes, have you read actual examples of people getting banned?

Regarding privacy.com, it allows you to specify a billing location when creating a virtual card, or does it simply not care?


Thanks.

i did not want to use my main account, if i wanted to i could just keep canceling this every 1-2 months while the free sub is active and cost me NOTHING..

took me 15 min. to set up the whole thing..

I'm deep into the G-ecosystem so I'd rather not risk losing it all. Granted the chances of being caught and banned are probably slim but I'd rather not take a chance.

It's so lame that YouTube playing in the background is considered a "feature".
