Monzo worked for me when I set it up years ago.

Yeah, most of the digital banks did but the new Indian gateway only allows Indian registered cards now afaik.
Crypto.com card

I help my sister to set up her's and it worked with a UK HSBC card and it was in May this year.
I honestly don't think you need one of this special obscured cards to make it work. I put mine on Barclays first, now Monzo.

I've got YouTube Premium via VPN in India, I've been on it for years so have saved hundreds and hundreds of pounds. I fully expect my gravy train to end but in the future if I have an Indian bank account can I just use the card for YouTube premium and it'll work?
Monzo still going strong for me!
I had a bit of a scare last night. For some reason I forgot to transfer money into my Monzo account and one of my subscriptions payment didn't go through £0.04 (lol) I thought the email was them saying I had been found out. But it went through a few minutes later. Phew.

Cheers guys, I'll try and extend my sub tonight with the recommendations. Tried Monzo/starling but no joy last time.
Just tried it with Starling.
Transaction declined: This purchase requires a payment option from your billing country.
Same as last time, need a card issued by an Indian bank. I'll have to let it expire and go with another country.

You big spender you.
I started digging around my Google Payment history the other day to try and find out how many payments I've made. It's so convoluted though, in the end I gave up because I got paranoid about doing anything at all that might raise a red flag on my account, lol

True but to host that content and the sheer bandwidth to serve it costs money.

A lot of the stuff I watch are not made by a man in his shed. In fact, a lot of the big channels are not "user generated", they are made by a team of people.
For example Sky Sports and TNT Sports shows all the goals from PL and CL matches minutes after the game ends. Very fast turn around for the highlights. This is not user generated content.
I also watch clips segments from US shows like Seth Meyers or The Late Show, which are network TV from America. Then there are the "user generated" stuff like LTT which have 100 employees. Even down to the REAL single man channels like movie reviews...what difference does it make if the movie review is by one man in his basement vs a critic like Mark Kermode? Mark Kermode films his stuff with a webcam now in his spare room half the time. He has left the BBC to do his own stuff.
YouTube hasn't been merely user generated for a long time now.

I assume by user generated what most people mean is it's not financed by YT in the same way Netflix/Disney/TV networks actively pay for the production of series/movies.
