    I’ll be honest. I did. With a VPN. It costs me $2.50 a month.

      Tell me more please? What hoops did you jump through to get it at this price? I can’t imagine it’s as simple as VPNing to a country where it’s cheaper.

        That is exactly what I did. If you Google it, you can find a list of the cheapest countries. Some of the cheaper options didn’t work for some reason related to how payments are processed in those places but I found one that went worked on the 3rd or 4th try.

        If I remember right, I was able to use Ukraine. I think Argentina is the cheapest around $1 a month.

        I’m happy to pay for product and services I use at reasonable prices. It makes me angry that they can offer this service for much less and still make.

          How did you make payment? I assume you can’t just use your regular bank card?

            I just used my regular credit card. But I know you can get a prepaid card for international purposes like this. I don’t remember what that’s called. I think it’s green, lol.

            There’s a lot whole subreddit about getting YouTube premium for affordable prices with good info.
