My YoutTube Premium subscription failed to renew on its own yesterday. I went ot fix it today and I'm no longer able to purchase premium with my google account, instead I hit a page that says YouTube is unable to verify my country :(
Finally Cut-off from YouTube Turkey. Anybody Else?

Desktop use Firefox and Ublock Origin plugin
AndroidTV use Smarttube
I'd prefer to pay a fair price for YouTube Premium but they kept increasing the price
Now I see NZ$22.99/month (however Google search AI says "YouTube Premium in New Zealand costs $17.99 per month for an individual plan"). What do you see?
I use YouTube on my phone to play kids story to help my kids getting sleep. Should I get one Android phone to use smarttube?

Smarttube is for AndroidTV, for android phones use Youtube Revanced

Thanks!

Open youtube in Brave instead, it should block the ads. https://brave.com/download/
Android users can install revanced for an easy ad-free app experience. https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/comments/1pebuhd/simple…

Thanks!

If you have an adblocker on your phone, open YouTube in a browser, or use the Brave browser as someone else suggested.
I started doing this after they started inserting an ad anytime the video was paused.
Thanks!

NZ YT Family Plan still going strong. $40/6 = $6.60 ea. per month. Though they're supposed to be cracking down on accounts that are not in the same household.

That's a fair price.
Message me if anyone has spare place in their plan for me.

My Youtube premium subscription through iTune India only costs about NZ$3.70 a month (₹195). You just need to open an Indian account and keep buying iTune gift card through Amazon India.

How were you paying for your subscription?
