It looks like YouTube has launched another wave of cancellations aimed at cracking down on VPN-based subscriptions. This started back in July and since then, users have been experiencing periodic waves of cancellations. A lot of users are reporting that their discounted Premium subscriptions, which they signed up for using a VPN in other countries, are being cancelled.
If you’ve got a subscription through a VPN (e.g., from a country with cheaper rates), it’s a good idea to check your emails.
Just got the email today. Managed to sign up again using surfshark free trial and Peru, £6.50, which is a lot more than the £2.50 I was paying via Ukraine, but definitely less than the £20 they want for ad-free family plan
Yeah, received a email today. Ukrainian subscription got cancelled. Never ever I’m going to pay 31.99€ monthly for a family subscription.
I wonder what their end game is. Very few will pay their full exploitative price.
Anyone with the solution. We all don’t need to pay so much in this world
I took for one year last month with a Turkish vpn will they cancel it or wait that my one year is finished?
Only reason I had YouTube premium was the ads, now with the price increase I am moving away from subscription and I’m going to set up paspberry pi with pihole ad blocking dns service, I’m just tired of all the bs.
I received the email yesterday, so will I be able to subscribe again using a VPN to the same country?
Pakistan email today
My card is not automatically debited today
Yep, got mine yesterday. I signed up for Turkish Youtube premium. Now they want me to resign up. But not gonna do it. 25$ a month simply too much for me. Was thinking about cutting some costs anyway. Less youtube for me from now on I guess. So be it. What companies don’t understand is those little tricks and nits are also driving force for their venue. Erasing them is a big mistake. They should have keep ignoring.
Yup, it’s best you boys learn how to sideload apps and use use apps like yattee or what ever it’s called on your OS of choice
No mail for me yet, still rocking my Microsoft Tech Support country account and i just agreed to their new pricings without vpn, i wouldn’t mind paying 10$, even 15$ for premium, but at 25+ they lost me
Pakistan here, got the email a few days ago. Apparently Philippines and Peru still work but they are more expensive.
Yep, just received my email about having to have a Ukraine payment card. I mean i’m hungarian, so it’s only 6 euros instead of 2.2 euros, but it’s still 272% of what I’m currently paying for the single subscription. Family would be 12 euros
I payed for nord vpn and surf shark
Peru chile Romania all showed me “we couldn’t verify your country”
So I tried Kazakhstan and it finally worked for me… it hurts a little to pay around 10€ per months instead of 4-5€ but it’s way better than pay 23€ per months… wtf actually… for no ads to let the consumer pay over 20€
Just got one… curve card isn’t issued in India .please use an Indian issued card before next payment date or sub is cancelled.
So that’s it then. I can’t possibly afford £19.99
I got my email yesterday, I had used Egypt I’m from Australia.
Does it require Peru’s credit card? It also gave me the we couldn’t verify your country message
Did you use the same account?
What kind of payment you used?
