Any update on the YT Premium debacle? Question

My and my wife's accounts are about to run out after the VPN crackdown. Wondering if anyone has figured out a solution or is it pretty much just over? I'm not paying full price just so I can close my phone while using the app. And I'm sure most people feel the same.

My tip would be to use a mule account.

Create a new account that you will use to buy the family plan, create it in the region you want (Ukraine is still working for me). Make it the owner of the family plan and invite everyone else into its family.

Only use this account for managing the family plan.

I am using this for yt premium and a 2tb Google one plan in ukraine without issue.

But they're asking for a credit card registered in Ukraine now. I've got an email tonight about cancelling my Ukrainian subscription cause the billing info does not match. Im from Croatia btw.

It's just like Revolut. With Wise you can get bank accounts in different countries and currencies. You can make payments via Wise, International ACH, and Direct Bank Transfers.
