I use YouTube a lot, and I’ve been using YouTube premium from a low income country where the fee is really low (2€ for family sub instead of 24€ monthly…)

But this month they’re changing their policy so that you must use a card issued by the country you subscribe from… tried a few with some virtual cards but I always get ejected…

I know that it’s technically piracy, and please spare me the ‘‘everything is free on the internet if you want to use something else than YouTube’’ or to use an ad block… The AdBlock themselves are spammy and I’m valuing the ease of use of YouTube…

One thing for sure is that 24€ is way too much, any suggestions?

Edit: I’m only using YouTube/YouTube music on my phone or in the car through android auto
