Has anybody had any luck signing up lately with any of the guides lately?
I have tried a few VPNs and every time I select Turkey or India I get a message from Youtube saying we are unable to detect your location.
YouTube Premium Cheap Access

My Argentinian one from years ago is still working. As for signing up a new account, I had to use a residential vpn such as Tuxler.
Ukraine's a good shout, minimal rules around the cards you can use. It's a bit more expensive but I just did it to save the fussing about.
Thailand also good been working for me past 4 months.
family plan from Turkey and I used NordVPN
I'm still using my argentinian one from years ago. Ozbargain is the place to go for directions.
Cheers managed to change from thighland to Ukraine
My annual plan, purchased through Turkey last year through this deal https://www.cheapies.nz/node/39405, is set to expire early next month.
Looking at the recent posts on the OZ Bargain link I guess I wont have much luck renewing so will look at those other options
India works fine for me via iTunes. Works out cheaper than Turkey since they increased their pricing.
Why do people pay for Youtube Premium? To block ads or what? I get it if people want to pay for Netflix, but what's so special about Youtube premium? I use Revanced on Android and can watch everything without ads at all, I get sponsorblock as well and all the other nice tweaks. On PC, those same extensions can be installed as well.
YT Music as well but mainly convenience. Many devices in our house, TVs in particular aren't fun to mess with so it's path of least resistance. Nice to just log in and not screw around. I'm time poor so I don't want to have to worry about playing whack-a-mole with YT when I watch a lot.
With kids, you can't be bothered to do all hackery and accept it to work. Secondly as mentioned above you don't have the luxury for all devices like TV, Car, Amazon/Google devices etc.
Also, my kids don't have patience for the ad to finish and keeps pressing play lol.
Finally, we use youtube music everywhere so it's a no brainer to have it at this cost.
Because at $3 a month for the whole family to block all the ads and get YouTube music it's probably the best value video or music service around, the fact you get both I wonder why anyone subscribes to Spotify. Even at full NZ price I'd say the combined service is reasonable value. Problem is the free tier on offer and things like vanced diminish the perceived value of the premium tier and that's why Google's been clamping down in things like ad blocker.
I see. Well I don't get ads with Spotify either on phone or PC, but yeah I get that not everyone is techy or has the time to implement these solutions.
I won't subscribe to youtube on principal now that they're going after adblockers. Also, ubo has now been auto-updating its lists every 6 hours for a while now on versions 1.34 or later so I have never experienced a point where the lists haven't caught up to google yet.
Afraid I can't get behind the complaints about them going after ad blockers. Hosting data is expensive and the overheads of running YouTube are enormous. It's not something that is remotely sustainable unless there is some form of revenue to pay for it, so either users have to pay for the content, those posting have to pay to store video, or we get ads.
This attitude of entitlement to free services doesn't exist in the physical world but people seem to think online should be free, but someone has to pay for it somehow. If you stopped paying for a service like the internet you'd absolutely expect them to cut you off and I don't get why the expectation with things like YouTube is any different. If everyone used as blockers on it it would be shutdown very quickly as it would bleed money.
@Everettpsycho: I agree.
I only watch YT videos on my main TV (personally, I can't stand watching video on small screens that are close to me - each to their own though). I have never subscribed, and currently would not consider subscribing, to YT.
I used to watch far more, but with the increase in frequency / duration of the ads, I have reduced the amount I watch substantially.
That's how it should work. They have increased the price to me (amount of advertising), and I have reduced my consumption of their product.
If it turns out they have made a mistake and by increasing the advertising they make less profit (through reduced consumption), they will either work that out and adjust accordingly, or someone else will usurp their position, and YT will lose market share. All good with me whatever the outcome.
Can't recall which free VPN I used but managed to sub through a Vietnam server for aprox $5.50nz per month. YT keep blocking cheaper options of India/Turkey.
Anyone else get booted from their Youtube Premium the last few days? Absolutely gutted.
Wondered if it was due to using a Visa. I can't seem to redeem Turkish giftcards with the account either, though tbh I haven't tried redeeming them with a VPN onI specifically signed up to TSB just so I could get a mastercard debit card, there are a few mastercard cc options but the debit card is probably the easiest solution.
I'm still subscribed to Argentina from a few years ago, feel bad for them - inflation is through the roofI joined Revolut the other day hoping that I could get a Mastercard from there, but unfortunately they only offer Visa to NZ. Signing up to TSB might have to be the way to go!
I have an SBS mastercard debt card due to being one of the only with zero annual fees. Works well for Argentina YouTube premium once visa stopped working.
Just signed up through Ukraine, appeared to accept my amex card no questions asked. Might fail on billing next month I guess.
Have you tried using Apple gift card from Amazon IN to subscribe? Follow below guide.
which vpn are you using?
