Try YT subscription from Argentina...😎

how much does that cost?

Less than 15 USD a YEAR.

well, thats a steal. I guess one needs a vpn and a local credit card?

I've heard people losing their google, thus their important gmail account, from using a VPN to buy a cheap subscription. Also heard that if you make a throwaway account just for that, if you ever log in with both accounts on the same machine, the two will be associated and banned together. So yeah, proceed at your own risk.

thanks! I dont have a google account so there is not much risk involved.

VPN, yes. For some reason your regular credit card works just fine. They don't check at all.
