Three years of YouTube Premium at Argentina pricing. It’s over.
Yarr! ➜ u/SamsungAppleOnePlus, some tips about “YouTube”:
- Use Firefox + uBlock Origin.
- Go to Dashboard > Filters lists > Apply changes.

Fair enough. Wish VALVe did it too instead of reverting back to usd only.
Steam games and quite a few online subscriptions used to be fairly affordable down here, once upon a time. Thanks to people like you we’re back to pirating things we could never afford otherwise.
Thank God, this is good. They could’ve taken down regional pricings but instead chose to do something fair.
Using revanced is an upgrade from Premium
About time, I hate that prices in Argentina go up just because there’s so many people using a VPN because it’s cheaper.
Same here. Also same email my mates have received lately. They’re using Turkey and Ukraine so it seems like its a bigger scale action.
pero entrale a una buena japi mi loco
A casa gringo mogolico
bien atroden la tenes, garpalo hdp, cuanto es, 3 usd seguro, rata.
I hope Steam does the same
Which is why family sharing plans are the best option.
Revanced, I can never go back. Sponsorblock and Dearrow has been so good to me.
What I find amusing is that people are okay with paying this amount of money for their service. So shouldn’t that let them know that maybe dropping their price might be a good thing?
The exact same thing as OP happened to me a few days ago. Here’s the workarounds:
- Desktop - Use uBlock Origin browser extension.
- Mobile - Revanced
- TV - SmartTube
The UX for SmartTube and the Revanced patched versions of YT and YTM are actually better than the stock UX because of the added features and having Sponsorblock. Well worth it. I wish I could cancel my YT Premium sooner than December.
YT is going to see a massive dip in memberships after this change, not a bump. This change also makes owning an iPhone or iPad an impossibility now for power users, although arguably it already was before this showstopper.
Good almost none of you will trade places to Argentina, India, Egypt or Turkey, you want the upside of cheaper pricing that was intended based on local wages but not the life quality that comes with living in these countries
Most of us had our foreign YouTube accounts shut down months ago and there’s been tons of discussion about it here. Those who are only now being shut down should be grateful that they managed to keep it for so much longer than the rest of us
This is the main priority of Youtube right now.
And it makes sense. Since you pay, you already did 90% of the effort to be a full price subscriber, it is easier to bring you back paying the full price than someone that have never paid like me, using an adblocker.
What’s funny is I can easily use an ad blocker, both on the web and in the app, but I like having my music offline and the once a month when I watch on my Apple TV I like to have no Ads. Oh well, guess they’ll get $0 instead of $4/mo.
