but Spotify still make a profit
what the real average uk wage? is it 6 times more?
£24,600 so £2000 a month with much hire tax rate, if we are going wage on wage like you said i should be paying £4 a month for the family plan?

How badly do you want to pay Russian prices.
Are you willing to give up all the conveniences in the UK and live in Russia for it?
Look at the bigger picture than just the flat rate price.
You're better using your energy to stick it to our government over the ridiculous energy prices than aim it at Spotify who are at the very least supplying an excellent service at a reasonable price.

YT premium via India is what I and a lot of others here did, about £1.30/month - apparently Argentina is even cheaper
Sounds complicated. Mine's set up so that when device X tries to connect to service Y, send traffic down VPN Z. I have multiple rules covering multiple devices and countries. Took about 15 minutes to set up but now it's completely seamless.

Are you using your UK mobile for the text message?
It never tried to send me a message when I did it. I basically logged onto the VPN for India, logged into youtube, entered a fake address for a random tailor shop, enter my UK card details and confirmed the subscription, then dc'd the VPN and youtube premium has been rebilling for maybe 1.5/2 years now with no need to VPN again.

Ah, cheers I'll give that a try (basically use an already activated account).
The issue is the amount of subscriptions. There's, Prime, Netflix, Disney, Spotify/whatever music platform etc etc. People don't have an issue with paying full prices but in the middle of a cost of living crisis, energy bills through the roof, job uncertainty, mortgage rates through the roof then come along Netflix and slap on an increase in their service, it's no wonder people turn to, ahem, alternate methods.

How much and what steps did you follow? The adverts are the source of much rage when drunk watching.
I've got them blocked on pc but do a lot of watching on my tv and phone that i cant block easily.
Used a different browser (Edge), VPN to argentina, signed into youtube, signed upto premium and just put my usual nationwide bank account on it.
Think its 73p if ive converted right.
I was getting an error code, but got around it by trying the payment with the VPN disconnected.

This just worked for me, using my Revolut card and some random business address in Buenos Aires.

Wil be trying the YT Premium trick tonight, sick to death of adverts - I use YouTube enough to justify spending the UK price, but given I'm in Guernsey "YouTube Premium is not available in your area"

Is anyone successfully using their VPN to buy game codes?
I've used it to buy games in foreign regions - for example I got CP2077 from 'russia' on GOG for 1999rubles (£19) pre launch.

Ah, if I remember correctly GOG doesn't region lock anything?
Yeah, they're good like that.
I've done it previously with EA/Origin but think they clamped down on it now.
