Been paying for YouTube premium for about 8 months now and I think it’s worth every dollar.
Yeah, I've paid for it for years. I'm OK with helping the creators that way and never having to jump through all the ad block hoops.
Yeah I’m a pretty big fan of ‘streamlined stuff that just works as intended’. That’s why I own Apple products to begin with and I basically apply that ethos to everything else in life. So I pay for YouTube , get a better experience and I don’t have to mess with anything.
Especially if you VPN and pay from another country 😉
Do you have to watch via vpn too or just pay?
Just pay. You can watch from wherever.
Thanks
I tried the method one time, but my credit card details forced me back to my original country.how have you payed, prepaid tokens? And do you need a specific Google account for that region?
I used my regular credit card just fine. I had issues using my card from India and Brazil. But Turkey was okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How odd. Do you mean ‘for’ the Turkey YT store or do you have a Turkish credit card?
I just VPN’d and changed my profile address to some random Turkish one and paid with my Canadian credit card on the Turkish YouTube.
Ok understood, I will give it another shot
what’s the cheapest country to use?
I rarely use youtube on my phone but if the price is right I might snag premium just to have it for when I do want to watch while mobile
I used to use India but they tightened the grip there. I think the last time I renewed I did it from Turkey?
Yup, since I watch YouTube almost daily, it’s kind of a nobrainer. I’m happy they offer a version without ads.
