Today I started getting notifications of "You might start seeing ads now you're in a different country" pop up.
I subscribe to YouTube premium but I used a VPN to get it cheaper. I've been doing it for years for the music and family love no ads. Today I started getting a notification saying because I'm not in the country I signed up in I might get ads.
I guess they're doing similar to Spotify now.
Luckily I have ControlD so I can set it up to always use that location on my network... But my kids are getting the warnings now on their phones.
Maybe this is the next nail in the coffin for cheap Premium I'll have to setup ControlD on the phones too but I'm sure most people don't have it.

That said, mine is via Argentina so if the recent Tidal increases are anything to go by, I might have to consider emigrating.
