YouTube is cracking down on users who have used VPNs to get cheaper rates on YouTube Premium subscriptions. Reports have surfaced of users having their subscriptions canceled without warning after signing up with different IP addresses. Users are being asked to update their billing information to match their current country of residence. This move comes after YouTube has been trying to disable ad blockers for some time. Premium rates vary by region, with prices in the U.S. significantly higher than in countries like India. YouTube has not explicitly stated that cancellations are due to VPN use, but has confirmed that accounts with falsified country information are being canceled. The crackdown has sparked backlash from users who were enjoying discounted rates. This development highlights the struggles online platforms face in enforcing pricing policies globally.
