Due to the large amount of advertising that the platform displays, even in short videos, many users choose to use an ad blocker, a measure that YouTube is fighting against in different ways and it seems that it has finally found the best one. do it: implemented the server level ads.
On mobile devices, there is no ability to block ads, so some users choose to use third party YouTube clients that Google’s video platform is in charge of blocking.
Others have fallen into the YouTube trap and They have signed up YouTube PremiumYes, at a much cheaper price than what the platform offers in your country using a VPN. The level of desperation that YouTube is showing to get users to sign up for the premium plan is going so far that it has decided to cancel the Premium accounts of users who used a VPN to sign up for this plan.
Use a VPN to make it cheaper
Using a VPN to hire Spotify, Netflix or any other streaming platform with a much cheaper rate is normal, since companies adapt their plans to the purchasing power of the country. Otherwise, they would not be able to attract any users.
Users use a VPN to contract these cheaper services because to access their content, it is not necessary to continue using a VPN, but it can be used with the Internet connection that we usually use, without modifying the IP so that it is from the country where We have contracted the subscription.
Some companies, such as Netflix, are fighting against this type of fraud and for a few months, they no longer allow users to use credit cards to pay for the subscription that is issued in the country where they are contracted.
YouTube cancels Premium accounts
Although it may seem like big companies are sucking their fingers, this is really not the case and they know perfectly well the tricks that some users use. Apparently the number of users who take advantage of them is not that large and, for now, they let it pass.
The only one that has taken this trick seriously is YouTube, who has started sending emails to users who have used a VPN to sign up for YouTube Premium. The email does not show the reason for the cancellation.

Users who have contacted YouTube to find out the reason say that this is because the user has moved to a new location. different location with which they registered, a good way of saying that the user has been caught using the VPN trick to sign up, but without saying it.
If you want to continue keeping the same rate, you must use a credit card issued in the country along with an address and phone number (just what Netflix is doing in recent months).
In addition to all the functions that YouTube Premium includes, which includes the possibility of downloading videos, it allows access to more than 100 million songs, once again, it arrived late to the market and users who already have a subscription to Spotify or Apple Music , they are not willing to give up your playlists to move to YouTube. If there were a rate that only eliminates ads, it is likely that more than one user would be encouraged to contract this plan.
