If you were ethically inclined toward such things, I've read posts online of people using VPNs to sign up for Youtube Premium from Argentina to pay a reduced rate.
I can't vouch for the effectiveness, but googling does show some people report having tried it successfully.
- digianarchist 4y agoI use a Thai account. It works but the Google account needs to have the country set to the same one used for billing.
- scarface74 4y agoSo I’m going to slow down my gigabit symmetric internet and route my traffic through a third party to hypothetically save $5.00/month? Wouldn’t the VPN be more expensive?
- Linkd 4y agoI assume this would need to happen just once during signup?
- hombre_fatal 4y agoFor a normal subscription, I think so, though their entitlement seems very random. But for a family plan you may have issues adding people to the plan. I couldn’t add my girlfriend to my US family plan in Mexico for example, and it eventually booted her because it didn’t think we live together.
- digianarchist 4y agoYou don't need a VPN. The account will work without one.
- vntok 4y agoThis is a TOS breach for sure. One day you'll find yourself banned from all Google properties. Is it worth a few monies per month?
- digianarchist 4y agoIt's a separate account but them banning all related accounts is definitely a risk.
- r3a1d33p 4y agoI share my US family plan with friends in the UK. Their account would be banned occasionally. So, Google is probably aware of this hack, it's just they are not enforcing it too seriously. EDIT: they only banned the added family member, not the account owner. My workaround is to just recreate family member account.
