For instance, YouTube Premium charges 12€ in my home country. However, where I’m staying now they would charge less than 3€.
So, if I would like to take advantage of this, I assume I’d need to create a new Google/YT account, which would mean I’d lose all subs, playlists etc that I’ve created?
Or am I missing something here?
Some people use VPN to do so, which is IMO borderline fraud.
If your main adress is in a country (even for 6-12 month) it’s normal that you pay the service at that country price (just like you pay taxes or food theire not where your from) the opposite would be a discrimination against immigrant, which at least in modern democracy is (mostly) illegal
What’s fraud is fucking regional pricing. Obviously they can sell it for 3 bucks and still make a profit, but instead I would get gouged for 12 in this example.
It’s also quite silly. You already have a VPN, just pirate the thing instead of paying anything.
I wouldn’t feel guilty denying a few bucks from a billion dollar company but that’s me. :)
