YouTube is also taking legal action against VPNs in addition to its already reported assault on ad blockers. We specifically refer to those who use VPNs to mask their location to obtain a lower-cost YouTube Premium membership.

A good number of individuals have observed that the monthly cost of YouTube Premium differs significantly between nations, with some having far less expensive access to the site than others. They then registered in the nations where it is less costly by using VPNs to be in those countries.

However, the gig is over. TechCrunch was informed by YouTube that it can identify whether a subscriber is lying about the country in which they signed up. The user will be prompted by the system to change their billing details when that occurs.

It's interesting to note that several Reddit users have lately complained about YouTube unexpectedly canceling their Premium accounts. Since all of them were utilizing the VPN method previously mentioned, it was presumed that this was the cause. Although it makes some sense that it might, YouTube has not stated if it has canceled those subscriptions as a result of people pretending to be where they are.
