Creating international youtube premium account

As indicated by The Sim Architect, the prices of YouTube Premium differ a lot between countries. During September 2020, a user in Argentina had to pay 119 Pesos, corresponding $1.57, whereas a user in Denmark had to pay 119 Danish Crowns, corresponding to $18.59 or 11.8 times the Argentinian equivalent.

Needless to say, it is tempting to get access to international prices.

Inspired by a guide published by The Best VPN, this is how I would do it:

  1. [Optional] Create a new Google account. You can use your usual Google account, but it might be a good idea to isolate the viewing data that Google will inevitably collect. If you do create a new Google account, it might be a good idea to set up Gmail to forward all emails to your usual account.
  2. Download a VPN app with servers in Argentina. A common choice is NordVPN, but I would use a free service such as VPN.lat. Keep in mind though, that free VPNs usually have a hidden agenda. I would not rely on a free service such as VPN.lat for anything other than specific uses.
  3. Activate the VPN service and verify that your IP address is located in Argentina. I usually do this by navigating to https://www.whatismyip.com.
  4. Navigate to https://www.youtube.com/premium. You should be presented with monthly prices listed in ARS (Argentine Peso).
  5. Select the plan you want to use.
  6. Enter your credit card information.
  7. Provide an Argentinian billing address generated using Fake Address Generator.
  8. Click BUY.
  9. Disconnect from VPN. If you used a free VPN service, delete the VPN app.
