I'm sticking to the freemium version.

You can try the same method as before with VPN and any country with YT premium service. I would start with SE Asia and African countries first.

If all that fails then it is the Apple ID in Turkey and get Apple Gift card from turkey and top up then buy premium with gift card.

If that fails then it's Student .ac email to get it or family plan and split the cost, with 6 people it will cost you £3.33 each.

I had the email too, previously using India via VPN. I'm thinking of just paying full price.

I have the YouTube Music app on my Garmin Epic and I'm not sure if you can download playlists onto the watch without Premium?

Otherwise I would use SmartTube on the Shield TV and reVanced on my phone.

I think that comes under offline play, which is an premium feature.

Just signed up for family plan with Nord VPN in Algeria cost me £9.02. so just under half then the UK price not sure how long it will last thou

This is the thing-it will only be a matter of time before you’ll get that email again.

Then they’ll do a Disney and close the iTunes method of payment as well.

We’re at the time where you’re going to have to be picky with your subs-pick the ones that are most important and then dip in and out of the others.

Netflix and YT are the non-negotiables in our house.

There's a rumoured 'lite' version of Premium coming along if you're only interested in ad free videos, cheaper than Algerian Premium.

Would be willing to pay easily £5 a month just for ads off youtube the music side bumps it up and don't need it. Hopefully someone at youtube paid attention to what people actually want.

I can see it being £10 for music only, £10 for no ads on video and the current price for both.

Once you knock off VAT and the payment processing fee, £5 isn’t going to cut it.

I would be willing to pay for premium if they would stop bundling it with a music service I have absolutely no interest in paying extra for

My Bulgarian sub is about to go from roughly £7 a month to £10.

I've only just moved there from Argentina! What sort of welcome is that?

 

[jaybee]

I got an email that my turkey sub is going up from 75 TRY to about 105 TRY. It says that basically if I don't want to keep paying via apple sub, I can go direct to the website and pay for only 79.99 TRY, which obviously will get blocked or stop working eventually. So I'll prob just keep paying 105 TRY which is £2.38.

Don't understand myself why anyone would ever pay for YouTube Premium, just install AdBlock.

Is it really that hard to comprehend...

Try doing that on a TV....I'll wait.

Try watching video offline on a flight.
Try "listening" to a video. I do this when I am walking to work.
Try to watch it on a TV.
Try to imagine there are more to it than no ads.

I think other apps can do it, just takes a bit more effort. I'm pretty sure one can get these apps on TV too? I don't know because I'm just a poor until now india youtube premium member...

 

[Littlenose]

I am so looking forward to options on the YouTube Premium.
It seems lately that the frequency of ads went up went up for me.

 

[dcsarge]

I have to admit I would be very tempted by Premium at a lower cost without Music. We all watch a lot based on our individual interests and I signed up for the trial. The lack of hassle and knowing it works on every device with no ads is bliss.

I always used an ad blocker on my PC but I just don't use it for viewing these days. Not having to mess about with apps on multiple different devices would be worth it (for the right price).

 

[Raymond Lin]

Well, you lot made me feel stupid for a minute... then I remembered... I've watched YouTube for 15 years nearly and never watched an advert... and never paid them a penny... wonder who should feel stupid now.

Not on a flight you haven't, not on your TV you haven't, not with the screen off and use it like a podcast you haven't. Not doing it without faffing around with work around you haven't.
