I myself do this and there is probably people that already know how to do it but thought I'd share it for those that don't already know.

Step One: setup an account as normal, at this stage you don't need to put on any VPN for anything, just set it up and if it asks for your country just put Argentina anyway just to make sure it will work.

A few things to note with this method, You can also share it with family and friends by setting up YouTube family, I'd also highly recommend doing a family setup anyway just to add an English account to the family group that you will use instead of the Argentina one you use to pay otherwise you'll get recommend nothing but Argentina content.

WARNING you MUST setup the family group prior to even using a VPN and paying otherwise it will NOT let you add any family members to your group as the system will believe you're in argentina and your family are in the UK so it just won't allow you to add anyone.

You can setup a family group via YouTube, I believe it to be somewhere in the settings, once setup add the people you want to enjoy the premium benefits and send them an invite, Also I personally invite my own account at this point or just create a new one for yourself to use and invite in order to get an English YT account. Because if you don't and decide to just use the main Argentina account that makes the payments as I mentioned earlier you'll be recommended lots of content from argentina, and we don't want that.

Step 2: After creating the family group and inviting whoever you want to join (Note, the people you invite must also accept the invitation prior to you making payment). That is the point whereby you turn the VPN on and set it to Argentina, then refresh the page and then click sign up to premium, currency should now display as pesos, then make the payment as normal. I also think you get 1 free month of premium if I recall as it's a new account.

Step 3, Enjoy your premium for £1.70 a month. (Prices could fluctuate)

Additional info: Only downside I've experienced with this so far is if you're an android phone user and your Google play account is the same one as the one that is added to the family group, it messes up your regional settings in the Google play store and it can't be fixed so as a result I've had to use a different Google play account to download UK apps. Other than that this it works great.
 
Pay youtube? not on your nelly. I am not going to pay a company that are the biggest file host, that has never been stopped from posting music etc that would otherwise be paid for. Might as well be a pirate site and I don't pay any pirate site for anything...only my hard work in trying to keep the request section in line and other stuff as needed :)
 
If I remember correctly It used to be free many years ago without all the ads, the fact that all the videos are laced with ads annoys me. And then annoys me further when instead of ads YouTubers add in messages from their sponsors, which is just as bad as ads.

Although I don't like the fact I'm paying for it I do admittedly use it a fair bit and there are a few YouTubers I do like to watch, that and I get the benefit of the YouTube music for the same price which I use for offline use when I'm at work as I cannot get signal at my job site so it's useful for listening to music. And let's put it this way it's significantly better than the £11.99 they charge.
 
If you on android or android tv you can patch the youtube apk with revanced patches (these patches can be applied to youtube music aswell) to get the premium experience for free and even block sponsors. On desktop just use ublock origin, no other adblock is even close to as good. I watch through Invidious ( an opensource -spyware free front end) since I don't have a google account or wish to share my data with google via their trackers.
 
Unless I'm doing something wrong I've always used ublockorigin and it has never blocked actual YouTube ads for me, as for YouTube revanced and stuff like that I find that it's hit and miss and can break after so long, similar to that of Spotify ++ where it can work for a week then it's a struggle to get it working again.
 
Maybe ublock is conflicting with adblock plus and causing it not to work I'm not sure. Never heard of invidious but I'm a Windows user anyway so it don't really matter tbh lol. I also have two people on my family plan that use iOS to get YT premium so although it isn't free as I pay the £1.70 a month at least they benefit from it I suppose. Either way even though there may be other methods to get it, I would never advise anyone pays full price. If I weren't getting it that cheap trust me I wouldn't pay them a penny.

Also YouTube revanced doesn't allow for offline download of music which for me is mandatory as I cannot get signal at my work, so I resort to downloading songs prior and listening offline. Without this feature I'd have to manually plug my phone into a pc and drag and drop music onto the phones storage which for me is too inconvenient.
 
Worst timing to post this thread too, YouTube have decided to increase their family plan all around the board by 28% lol, Although not for everyone, the above guide still stands except the country and VPN is Turkey. I also left a bit of key information out of this, you also have to provide a random Turkish address during the payment sign up. Pretty straight forward, just a quick Google search, anything works.

Two ad-blocks will be conflicting, correct. Revanced works well and the patches are opensource. Spotify is different you just need to patch the .dex and update every now and then when api changes. Paying for digital content is dumb unless you really want to support the creator. Co-orporations (especially spyware manufacturers such that of google, facebook, microsoft) don't deserve a cent of money you already paying them ith your personal data they collect through thier spyware.
 
Yeah like i said i only pay for it for music offline to ease boredom in work, As well as family members that are on IOS. I don't enjoy paying for it and wouldn't normally give them a cent.
 
I can spin up virtual machine and configure these on youtube music for you if you have an android
Code:

I'm not 100% sure on whether revanced offers offline music for download, I don't think it does.

If it does then sure, if not then don't worry about it mate. But thanks for your time and effort.
 
With the sad demise of Youtube Revanced, New Pipe is a decent option for Android users, loaded via F-Droid.
 
I pay £2.60 a month ish now since they upped the price of their family plan not long ago, I don't even want to pay it tbh. Only doing it to keep the missus happy.
 
Ive been getting YT Premium from India using vpn method since 2019 ish . Usually about £1.90 a month for Family. Have to say i wouldnt pay the £19.99 for UK . Then i also get my Netflix Premium from Turkey (for the time being at least) £5 or so a mth for and just cancelled my Disney + and gone through Turkey for that at £29 a year. Just got Tidal Family through Argentina for less than a £1 a month.

Got a better method these days, I just use Ublock Origin if i'm on the PC, And because i have an Android phone i use Youtube Revanced, works perfect.

and on the Nvdia Shield i have an app that acts like YT without the ads, Can't remember what its called. Something Tube.
