Google takes strong action against VPN usage to buy cheap YouTube Premium

According to WCCF Tech , many YouTube Premium users have recently received a sudden cancellation notice for unknown reasons. According to reports on Reddit, the reason may be because Google is cracking down on the use of VPNs to buy cheap Premium packages.

YouTube Premium offers a variety of plans with different prices depending on your region, but many users have taken advantage of this by using VPNs to change their IP address to cheaper countries like Croatia, Greece, and Ukraine.

This action has caused Google to lose significant revenue, and has also created an unfair situation for users who purchased Premium packages at full price. To prevent this situation, the company has reportedly started canceling subscriptions that show signs of VPN usage. Affected users will have to re-register with an address and payment card in their current country of residence to continue using the service.

Google's move has received mixed reviews. Some users support it, saying it helps ensure fairness and transparency in pricing. However, others have expressed dissatisfaction, saying they are being unfairly 'punished' for moving to another country.

But all in all, this is also a warning for those who intend to use VPN to buy cheap YouTube Premium. The risk of losing your account is very high and in the end, users still have to pay the right price for the service.
