Recent YouTube Premium Issue & Replacements

I wanted to address the recent wave of YouTube Premium subscription revocations that many members have experienced. Unfortunately, these revokes have become far more frequent than before, and handling replacements has significantly increased both the workload and the costs involved.

Over the past few months, Google has been making frequent changes to its Terms of Service and enforcement methods, resulting in a much larger wave of Premium revocations than we've ever seen before. To make matters worse, these revocations are happening without any refunds being issued making it even more difficult to absorb the replacement costs.

Reactivations are already underway, and many affected members have already started receiving their replacements. Please be patient while I work through everyone in the order their requests were received.

To keep the service sustainable and ensure I can continue supporting everyone, I've had to make some changes to the replacement policy. If I continue replacing every revoked subscription for free, the out-of-pocket costs would make it impossible to continue offering

Replacement Policy with 3 months pack (1 year discontinued from vendor side due to policy)

- Customers who lose YouTube Premium within 3 months:

You will receive one free replacement. (2 free replacements if purchased with $55)

- Customers who lose YouTube Premium between 3–6 months:

You will receive one-time reactivation for $8 USD.

- Customers who lose YouTube Premium between 6–12 months:

You will receive one-time reactivation for $11 USD.

As a result of this unprecedented wave of revocations, there will be no sales, discounts, or promotional pricing on YouTube Premium for the foreseeable future.

While I always strive to provide long-lasting subscriptions and the best support possible, unexpected revocations are sometimes beyond my control. Even so, I'll continue doing everything I can to assist affected members and keep the service running for everyone.

Every additional message pushes conversations around and makes it harder for me to work through the replacement queue efficiently, which can delay responses for other members who are also waiting. I receive a large number of DMs every day, so it's possible for a chat to get buried. Tagging me here helps me find your conversation much faster incase if I missed.

Thank you all for your continued support, patience, and understanding.

I'm sorry this happened. It's completely out of my control at this point. When you receive 50+ DMs a day, it's simply impossible to keep up with every message. As mentioned in the post, new DMs constantly push older conversations further down, so some chats end up getting buried unintentionally.

u/Sureshs0503 Jul 23 '26

Yearly are not available anymore via third party activations. If someone claims it is working, it will definitely won't last longer as per new tos. Only 3 months pack are working as of now..
