The registrations of the users they have used a VPN to subscribe to YouTube Premium to reduced rates they are coming cancel from Google: A discussion on Reddit highlights how many subscribers, who had used VPNs to access lower-priced subscriptions in countries like Ukraine, encountered a service outage.
This intervention by Google aims to enforce the pricing policies regional for YouTube Premium. The service offers different rates for various markets based on local economic conditions and consumer expectations. By using VPNs to mask their locations, users have been able to bypass these restrictions and subscribe at significantly lower prices.
Reportedly, some users contacted customer service and reinstated their subscription, while others were told the reason for cancellation and advised to resubscribe using a local payment method and address to access the appropriate pricing.
For those affected by these cancellationsthere’s not much that can be done. Users can actually resubscribe using their real location and payment details, which will likely result in a higher monthly fee.
Although VPNs can offer various benefits, such as greater privacy and security, using them to circumvent the pricing policies of different countries raises many concerns for companies. However, it is important to note that Google has not officially confirmed the application of this approach.
