YouTube is not only a source of fun videos but also a source of information for many people. But if there is one thing that none of us like while watching YouTube videos, it is ads. For this, YouTube offers a YouTube Premium subscription service that provides users with ad-free content and additional features. However, the price of YouTube Premium subscription service varies according to location and region. That is why, many users change their location using a VPN and purchase YouTube premium subscriptions to the streaming service, where the price is much lower.

To take action against these users, YouTube has reportedly cracked down on such users and canceled their premium subscriptions due to change their location using a VPN . According to the report, many users on Reddit have reported that their subscriptions have been automatically cancelled. Users who spoke to the YouTube team also reported that their subscriptions were cancelled because they had “moved” to another location.
Furthermore, a Google support representative confirmed to PCmag that “YouTube has initiated the cancellation of premium memberships for accounts identified as having falsified signup country information. Due to violating YouTube’s Paid Terms of Service, these users will receive an email and an in-app notification informing them of the cancellation.”
In India, YouTube Premium subscription costs Rs 129 per month, Rs 399 per quarter, and Rs 1,290 per year. These are already among the cheapest plans internationally and users don’t need to hide their location using a VPN.

Previously, YouTube was reportedly testing server-side ad injection, which bypasses several ad-blocking tools. This suggests that users should “allow ads on YouTube or try YouTube Premium” to support the site’s creators.
