I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don’t want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won’t be able to figure out how to fix it.

I’ve tried using account sellers in the past but the last one I used had some issues and now I can’t add my mom’s YouTube account to a different family account for another year.

I am able to use a VPN to buy premium for cheaper from a different country but they require a credit card for that country. Is it possible to get a virtual debit/credit card for different countries?

    Android warns you every step of the way if you do stuff the manufacturer and Google don’t advise (basically, anything that doesn’t come from the PlayStore or messing with services and permissions). If you’re an average Joe, certainly you’re not gonna do those things. Manually installing apps not in the PlayStore requires you to first find those apps, which is not something your average Joe will do. Messing with permissons or services, again, regular users wouldn’t even know where to find those settings or what they mean, let alone know what bypassing those will do… and you get warned all the way through the process. Even if you accidentaly tap on something, if it’s an advanced setting, it will awarn you, and you have a countdown before you can tap Yes or tick the “I agree” box or whatever. Certainly a regular user will understand that this is not something to be messed with, so it will not choose to bypass those settings.
