Many users from different countries have been changing their location using VPN to purchase cheaper versions of YouTube Premium.<\/p>\n<p>Now that YouTube seems to have noticed how users have oversmarted the platform, it has left them with only two options: re-subscribe their accounts or use ad blockers to restrict their view of advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, YouTube is sending emails to users who have a cheaper version of premium, informing them about the cancellation and asking them to restart their subscription.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earlier, YouTube took action against ad blockers being used to restrict ads from appearing. Now, it is planning to cancel the discounted version of the YouTube premium subscription that users were purchasing using a VPN.

Nobody enjoys being interrupted while watching their favorite content or having to pay for subscriptions. However, with YouTube not supporting ad blockers, subscribing to YouTube Premium seems to be the only remaining option for a seamless experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube&#8217;s new update has been unfortunate for many.
