TL;DR

YouTube is cracking down on users who signed up for YouTube Premium using a VPN to get cheaper rates. The company is asking these users to update their billing information to their actual country of residence, leading to sudden cancellations of subscriptions. This move follows YouTube's ongoing efforts to disable ad blockers and ensure accurate pricing based on users' locations.
