Guess I’m done paying for Premium. Anyone else getting VPN blocked?
yeah they do this because of Cheap Youtube Premium VPN
At this point you get more YouTube functionality without Premium.
I’d never pay for premium for the price their asking - especially when they don’t even give you options for blocking channels/shorts/livestreams/premieres.
And paying doesn’t get rid of the in-video ads so what’s the point?
Youtube needs to fail - massively - for us to get a better option.
Lol. you get blocked for using a vpn/proxy if you are a paying customer? Wow youtube are clowns.
Disable VPN so we can get your approximate location, so we can target you with even more ads!
You’ll need to either find a VPN that isn’t detected or find some kind of hacky workaround. Maybe your DNS is leaking and/or your OS is ratting out your location?
Aside from the VPN thing: Use Revanced on mobile, uBlock Origin + Sponsorblock on desktop, and SmartTube on Android TV.
2 big reasons yt or any streaming site does this:
1- You can get cheaper premium/service plan by VPN’nin in a less valued currency. This hurts their bottomline so they want to make people get the payment plan relevant to their actual location. Try to understand that premium revenues are marginally better than ad revenues for content creators too!
2- You can get region-locked by some fucked up Bureaucratic bullshit, like country denying licensing or vice versa. In this case, your better option is either find a obscure and less safe vpn option, or sail the high seas of the internet.
Your data is not safe even with paid VPNs at best some other person gets paid for that data.
Why is anyone paying for it? Ad block is free
Thank God I have access to an Indian bank account even though I live in Germany. €3.5 per month for a family plan is a steal
What does “this will allow youtube to locate the best content” even mean
This will allow YouTube to locate the best content.
what does that even mean???
Really? Premium on Argentina, or?
Surely it is the user’s choice whether or not they want to use a VPN for their own security etc.
“Locate the best content”
But what if I want to watch Brazilian videos? Why do you get to tell me what I should watch?
I knew YouTube Premium was a scam. If you want the best experience, have some extensions for free.
literal stupid joke yt did.
This is useful if yt isn’t such a baby abt it.
I don’t wanna wait 9 million years just to get to my 5 second video.
Use Firefox. Haven’t had an issue with my adblocker yet (knock on wood!!!)
Any website diving that deep into your system should be illegal as hell
Now this crap whhhyyyyy VPN is the most adverse thing on yt
