While probably unintended, this still benefits them because this normalizes paying for premium either way. And a few years later when they decide to pull the plug, your chance of paying full price will be greater as a result.
Never give a SV tech company money.
Isnt youtube basically merged with google, thus you need to have separare indian account jusr for google?
Who needs Google search in 2023? The only google services I use are Gmail, Translate, Youtube and their core project - 8.8.8.8
You have deepl to replace translate, it's incredibly better and can replace words. The only advantage of Translate is ocr camera.
Thank you, I will definitely use it for short sentences. But my typical scenario is to throw a whole webpage from HN if I am too tired to read it in English. I do not see how deepl can translate a whole webpage, all I see is 1500 symbols with no registration.
Not really. You need a separate payment profile in the country you intend to subscribe to it. My Play Store profile is USA-based, but I'm in Thailand and I subscribe for the 1-year plan for $44.99. A new payment profile is created for YouTube billing, though I deleted it as it's quite a hassle to manage different profile; I'll create a new one if needed.
Advocating fraud to save a fiver a month?
Because only corporations and billionaires are allowed to commit it?
Thinking it's wrong to advocate fraudulently billing in a poor country to avoid a small charge, does not preclude thinking it's wrong for corporations or billionaires to commit fraud.
It is not just about thinking that corporations/billionaires are doing something wrong, it is also about them getting away with it, governments doing nothing about it and being powerless yourself to do something about it. If this world rewards the rich cheating for example by using tax havens, why not cheat themselves out of some dollars a month by using a 'cheap haven' yourself? Seems fair to me.
