This is a controversial viewpoint on here. You have to be pirating everything and using Linux otherwise you are corporate shill and will be downvoted for having a different viewpoint. Talk about an echo chamber.
I have used YouTube premium for years and years now, it is the best value subscription service I use. I haven’t seen an ad in years, I don’t have to find loopholes and I get to support the creators that produce great content. Also music.
I used to have premium for $9.99/mo until I got an email about them raising their rates come December. No thank you.
Use a VPN and set your location to turkey. It’s ~$15-20 for the year. You never have to use the VPN again once you’ve purchased the subscription
Just tried and it said I needed a payment method from the country.
Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.
Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I'm guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something
Huh, it worked fine for me, but this was maybe ~3 months ago.
You could probably use Wise, but why bother.
India is even cheaper. I pay 1$ a month.
I don't, but I'm fine with paying for premium. I hate that a lot of content has sponsored content that your premium subscription doesn't remove. Even if I paid for premium I'd still need to have SponsorBlock to make it watchable.
I pay for premium but I ended up installing revanced on my phone so I could disable shorts and it also skips in-video ads which is really nice. I didn't disable YouTube's ad blocking though because I don't need to.
I'm wondering,.can you use sponsorblock with premium YT?
Like install the extension on top of the subscription? Yes
