Watching YouTube without premium features became an absolute nightmare. Constant multiple ads, ad-blocker issues and similar stuff makes watching videos annoying half of the time. Because of that I want to share a cool trick how you can buy YouTube Premium for what I would call reasonable price - $1.15 per month using VPN and Turkish server. Some people say that you should use Argentina but I checked that now it’s $1.52 per month there so Turkey is the new best option.
Connect your VPN to Turkish server (before going to Youtube check first at ipleak.net or similar page if your IP shows up as Turkish).
Open an incognito tab in your browser.
Login to Youtube/Create new account.
Go to buy YouTube Premium page (you should see the TRY price).
If you only need Youtube Premium for yourself, it’s $1.15 per month but if you have friends/family who wants to use Premium as well, I recommend buying Family subscription since it’s only $2.30 per month but can be used by 5 different emails which would end up as $0.46 per YouTube Premium acc!
Enter a new credit/debit card and enter the Turkish Billing Address. (You can take a random address from Google Maps) Make sure to correctly enter the zip code of the address.
Pay for subscription (also you should get 1 month for free at least on new account, not sure about existing accounts who didn’t use premium before).
Done!
If you tried these steps on existing account and faced an error, I suggest trying to sign-up a new Google account and try again. Also do these steps on browser, avoid doing it on app. Also, once you have Premium, you don’t have to use VPN.
this probably won’t work in NA over a month because;
it’s basically the same requirements as netflix now;
Location requirements for family plans
Family plan location requirements
To be eligible to share a YouTube family membership, each family members must live at the same residential address as the family manager. Every 30 days, an electronic check-in will confirm this requirement.
Having trouble setting up your family plan? If you’re encountering an error message that:
“Family is not supported”
Or
“Country is not supported”
The country/region listed in your Google Pay account might not match your current location.
Even if you are behind a VPN, the payment of the YT Premium service must be país with a credit/debit/prepaid card issued by a local bank/fintech, otherwise it won’t work.
This doesn’t work at all now. They detect billing addresses and they need to match the country of the card issuer. Tried a UK card with a Turkish and Indian address and it was a no go
This worked until a few months ago. Doesn’t work with turkey now and hasn’t for almost a month. Argentina stopped working when they brought in new restrictions and so did India
