Youtube has begun to cancel all the accounts of users who subscribed to the paid version of the YouTube Premium platform, taking advantage of a virtual private network (VPN), a method commonly used to pay less for the same service.
The price of the payment plans for the streaming video platform developed by Google varies greatly depending on the country in which the user registers, due to factors such as the standard of living or the value of the currency of that territory.

For this reason, some users decide to use VPN to connect to a server with a cheaper pricing model and pay less for the same service, a trick that 9to5Google has exemplified in the case of the United States and Ukraine.
While in the first the subscription for a single account costs 13.99 dollars per month (13.06 euros at the current exchange rate), in the second, you pay 99 hryvnias per month, which is equivalent to 2.50 dollars (about 2. 33 euros).

A series of users have confirmed through Reddit that they have received a notification from the platform indicating that their accounts have been canceled for having “moved” to a different region than the one in which they had originally registered, as stated. the aforementioned medium.
The unilateral cancellation of this service, therefore, requires the user to resubscribe in the territory in which they are located, although, as those affected have shared, they will be able to continue accessing the benefits offered by the subscription until the next renewal date.
