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?
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…
Just don’t use YT?? GO to any instance of INVIDIOUS!!! (or use apps like freetube) No ads and your real IP or VPN iP never get’s to YT servers…
Yeah cause that will work…
That might kill my reliance on YouTube, or get me to seek a FOSS YouTube intermediary.
