I've had this issue where youtube is sort of breaking for me, but it shouldn't matter because I very begrudgingly pay for Youtube Premium.

(I'm not extremely tech savvy to the point where it's easy for me to set up a raspberry pi or whatever to watch youtube in bed on my tv OK?)

Anyways, sometimes it like, gets weird and the video player gets stuck at 0:00 and loops like 3 seconds of the video.

Pro top for premium: cancel sub, VPN into country like India turkey Ukraine etc, subscribe with credit card with no fx fees.

Enjoy 3usd per month rate

Assuming they're not from one of those countries already

That was the assumption but the advice is for anyone who hates google enough but hates ads more or just wants to save money.

Sadly, I checked and if you try to sign up with A VPN it cock blocks you and says "sowwy can't vewivy yow cowntwy :("

And you have to make a whole new youtube account just for it.

Nah that will just ruin regional pricing for those that actually needs it.
