NB: For those not caught yet, YouTube has been cracking down on foreign accounts so most international countries are blocked for new signups, and they are cancelling Premium subscriptions once your current term runs out. And they know exactly what they’re doing because all of the countries with similar high pricing to Australia still allow signups. There seem to be pricing bands.

This is the only region I can find that is a worthwhile amount cheaper than Australia. Nothing like the past, but it’s something.

  1. VPN to Mexico (I used the cheap TorGuard deal).
  2. Navigate to YouTube Premium (https://www.youtube.com/premium) in the browser and sign up.
  3. I don’t know if this is required but for the post code I added an extra zero to the end of my Australia post code (which ends in zero) so it just looked like a typo. I used Revolut.

That simple. No special accounts required.

        Mine still works. Although there was a substantial price increase over the usual ~$1.50/month when my last deduction came out the other week ($3 AUD). In saying that, they can charge me a bit more and I'd still happily pay it since it's still not AUD pricing or even close to it. I'd rather leave a good thing going and pay a small amount more if it keeps it active. Cheaper would be good, but given then low probability of successfully signing up again under a new country, I'll keep flying the Argentinean flag for now. 🇦🇷

        I have but I kept having issues trying to patch the YouTube app so I gave up with it.

        • User0001 on 18/06/2024 - 10:15

          You only have to patch once every few months. If you're really lazy, there are people who have precompiled the apk for you with the patch. It is a bit of a security risk though.

            @User0001: You also only need to patch when something breaks, which isn't often. It's been a bit messy lately though as Google has been breaking random things. I pay for Premium but still use revanced for Sponsorblock and other great features.

      • poisongodmachine on 17/06/2024 - 23:34

        I use Revanced. Definitely recommend. Having to compile the app yourself is a bit of a pain though.

        • Maths Debater on 17/06/2024 - 23:36

          That’s the gripe I had with it, setup is too much of an effort. NewPipe is heaps easier.

        I've been using it for ages. Works great, no ads, and even has nice features thanks to SponsorBlock, like skipping useless parts of videos (intros, sponsors, self promotion etc.), or skipping straight to the highlight of a video. Massive time saver.

        The cannot verify country comes down to if they’ve blocked your VPN or not. Try a different VPN, most free/cheap ones will be blocked.
