If you are one of those who applied the VPN trick to get you a cheap YouTube Premium subscription, we have bad news. YouTube started canceling memberships that were obtained in another country at a lower cost. The technology company notified users that their subscription has been canceled and it is necessary to restart it to maintain the benefits.
Various users of reddit They said they received an email from YouTube warning them about canceling your Premium membership. The message does not mention the reasons and only indicates the date on which the subscription ends. One of those affected contacted technical support to find out the reason for its cancellation and the response was overwhelming.
YouTube mentioned that You were in a different region than where you subscribed, so a means of payment for the current location was essential. “Service has been canceled until I register with a UK card and address. [El cobro] went from £2.30 to £12.99 a month,” he said. Others report that The YouTube website shows a notice stating that the country of your subscription does not match.
Although the most obvious solution is to subscribe from the country you are in, some users mention tricks that could work. One suggests registering with a Visa card, as it does not require an associated address in the country where you are located. Another suggests that using a payment method combined with the VPN would not cause problems for those who are immigrants from the country of origin (India, Argentina, Turkey, etc.).
Anyway, none of these solutions are definitive and YouTube may cancel your Premium membership at any time.
