Resharing again after 6 months for those unaware of this workaround to score YouTube Premium at a fraction of the normal price (with full credit to HiDave for the original find). Personally been on this plan for over 18 months and works flawlessly with 28 Degrees MasterCard (no fees). Please stay safe, and enjoy :)

Very straightforward process:

  1. Use a VPN to connect to an Argentinian server (required only for registration).
  2. Open an incognito browser window.
  3. Sign up via the main link in this post (or here).
  4. If an Argentinian address is requested, use this link and Google the postcode.
  5. Pay with a card that has no foreign exchange fees.
  6. Enjoy the full benefits of YouTube Premium.

          I should have clarified: you can choose/change your YouTube country once per year, which this deal uses up. Then you're stuck in Argentina for a year.

          YouTube music (as far as I can tell) uses your payment profile country.

            @Seancohen: Really, I've done it multiple times but I'm running YT Vanced so maybe that makes a difference? Wouldn't have thought so though. Its basically a premium hack

          • shadow7412 on 18/01/2022 - 08:50

            @Seancohen: When you change your country in this way, does that also update the subscription cost? And will other family members have to take action, or will it "just work"?

    • cooni on 12/12/2021 - 13:10

      Only temporarily until the algorithm figures out you're not interested in any of it

    Is there a nest aware sub in Argentina…?

    I just set up one for my friend yesterday, the fake address link in the post is dead, but I use this instead https://www.bestrandoms.com/random-address-in-ar?quantity=6

      Using Revolut and my approved it but the Merchant cancelled the transaction

      Create a new Google account and sign up for the YouTube family plan then just invite your normal account to join the family.

        I've been trying to do this and it won't let me add my other accounts to the family as they're in different countries…

          Same here. You would have to delete the payment profile on your AU account, but then you lose any Play credit you have, transaction history, and ability to use Google Pay. The main reason why I gave up on trying to do this as I don't want to risk losing my primary account and can't be stuffed teaching a new account my habits etc.

        • player2 on 14/12/2021 - 02:59

          You gotta do it on a PC if you try to do it on your phone even with a VPN it knows.. unless it's checking the GPS I'm going to try that and ill get back to you

          nope, that doesn't work either just use a PC it's easy as then.

        • MainlagToby on 12/12/2021 - 12:28

          Have you head of this happening? I would think they would just cancel your YouTube account as they are separate?

            +1

            @MainlagToby: Not necessarily, but there have been multiple stories of people having their entire Google account locked up with very little recourse or warning (not necessarily due to this technique). I guess it depends on your risk appetite. For something like Netflix or even Amazon, I'm happier to take a bigger risk.

            The other consideration for me is that licensing deals usually differ across countries, so I would imagine some artists aren't available in the Argentina YT Music.

  • meowsers on 12/12/2021 - 11:01

    I use the Indian one. Easier and you don’t seem to get spammed with indian content.

    The problem with Argentina is it seems like there were always new taxes and the exchange rate was as stable as bitcoin when we used it for Netflix before moving to turkey.

      I did this in the past (may have been Argentina, may have been Turkey etc.) and found that there was limited content in those regions due to licensing issues. So your favourite artist/s may not be available.

              @Muzeeb: Oh I know, no need to preach to the choir. But for any other device that has YouTube on it (you know there's more than Android, right?), there aren't always methods to avoid ads. Can't change DNS for iOS/ Apple TV/ Samsung TV cause it's straight from YouTube servers. So what else is there to do but subscribe to YouTube Premium.

              All three of your comments on this thread have been of literally no use. I suggest you save yours and everyone elses time and think beforehand.

    If you subscribe using Argentinian Youtube via VPN or any other means, does the family plan work in Youtube accounts in Australia ? I thought for family sharing and youtube premium to work the plan has to be purchased in the same country/region where the account will be used.

    Have had no issues with general use on multiple devices. I use youtube a fair bit so this is well worth the expense for me (and being able to have it on in the background on your phone is awesome).
