YouTube Premium

Yeah, at least Netflix did invest in quality games and try to make it a bit of a perk. What YT were thinking with this, I really have no idea. I can't imagine anyone is playing them and thinking it makes the sub worthwhile... and surely even kids would rather just play Fortnite. Who knows.

You don't need premium to play the playables. Too bad they're mostly crap :o

This one captured my attention for about 10 minutes, reminded me of a flash game i wasted many hours on at work, many, many years ago!

Another weirdness. I can see all the weekly Last Week Tonight "episodes" on their YT channel in my computer in Spain. But in the UK, the last episode I see is from 1 month ago, and even if I put it in my watch later queue, it doesn't show up in my UK devices. The shorts on that channel seem to be the same though, in UK and Spain.

If there is any interest, I'll set up a family plan. Mine runs out today and I can't stomach watching it with ads.

If anybody wants a slot, PM me. I’ve not bought it yet, but if we can get four people together I’ll do it. Not advertising it in MM as this is a joint effort with whoever wants to be onboard. Need three more people.
 
Wouldn’t let me reactivate through Kazakhstan, said needed a payment method from billing country.

Flew back to Poland and that worked though so another month sorted.
 
Was using Serbia for a while then got the dreaded email, I quickly just resigned up again to my family sub and it let me, here's hoping I get another few months.

After this gets cancalled I'm jsut gonna get a UK sub and split it.
 
Hello all

Very long time lurker, first time poster

Having gone through Argenina for about 3 years
Then jumping around most of Eastern Europe and parts of Asia

It seems YouTube have finally clamped down and no matter what I do, no matter what country I seem to attempt to sign up in (last month was Serbia, but it doesn't work for re-sign up!) , I get the below error -

Transaction declined. This purchase requires a payment method from your billing country. [OR_RECR_05]

Scratch that, I tried POLAND and it worked (for now)

Probably will just jump on a group Membership soon!?

I can successfully block youtube ads without vpn and paying, but I've noticed that 4k (even some 1080p) videos are starting to buffer (2GB/800MB fiber) is there any chance this is YT realizing what I'm doing and limiting my bandwidth?
 
So, got the email again RE Poland (I'll try resigning up). Didnt even get me past my Payment direct debit date.

Anyone got any group/family plans going? I see some talk here and there on the board.

Isn't it something to do with YT constantly altering their code to stop software workarounds and the 3rd party devs playing catchup? It can cause buffers where ads and sponsor segments are placed into the video feed. I may be mis-remembering though.
