I know this may be blasphemy but if you use a VPN to sign up from certain countries you can get YouTube premium for like 25 bucks for the year. Haven't tried it personally but I've seen it mentioned a million times.

If they go to war with adblockers though some one smarter then me will probably come out with a way to just download the video and cut out ads post.

But then you have to pay for vpn to access the countries where prices are low.

Valid point, and again I haven't done this myself, but it seems you only need the VPN for the initial sign up and then you can login normally after that. Not perfect for everyone but an option to consider.

Also, and I guess I'm making a huge assumption but I'd imagine most people here have access to a VPN
