If you don’t mind paying ~2$ a month, you can get Family Premium using a VPN (I used India)

Current working method from HUKD: (Private/Incognito browser is best)

Create a new Google Account. Enter card details. Enter a fake billing address, any random address generator will do, as long as it’s from the correct region. Then select Try it Free. Navigate to YouTube, press YouTube Premium, and double-check that everything is in the right currency. Enter the same credit card and address information you used for creating the new Google Account. Click Buy 👍

You can then add your main Google account as a family member.👍

And then, someone random in India becomes the legal address attached to your credit card?

It wouldn’t be attached to the credit card, just tied to the Google account. They don’t care about the address, which is why you can use a generator to get E.g -

22/24, Parekh Bldg, Sadashiv Cross Lane, Girgaum

Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400004

About $15/year if you do Turkey and use a Privacy.com card

Fine for me, since i only use Youtube for the occasionally linked video.

But could’nt this be worked around by not allowing cookies and blocking canvas?

Watching ads on YouTube is really not an option for me. And I’m not sure I would pay for premium unless the recommendation algorithm gets much much better…

Why even consider paying Google anything?

Just get a better adblocker.

This is the truth. There will always be a better adblocker

I mean in an “ideal” world where the AdBlock prevention really can’t be circumvented somehow.

That might kill my reliance on YouTube, or get me to seek a FOSS YouTube intermediary.
