The big issue is this: Premium is too damn expensive so we all use adblockers.
If Google were clever, they would charge just €1 per month per user for premium and virtually everyone would pay that not to see ads.
So instead of having 10 000 people paying €10 a month they could have 500 000 000 paying €1 a month and make WAY more money
I just went into Google payments and changed my address to a made-up Philippines address and I pay 239 pesos or around €4 for premium family. I think the individual plan is 159pp/€2.66.
I’ve had that setup for a little over a year now. They just emailed me last week that they’re changing my region over to US.
