      VPN plus cheap YouTube is probably less than YouTube. And VPN is useful for more than just YouTube.

      You assume there is no other use for the VPN? And honestly, you can get a free trial of a VPN if you want to, to handle this, it doesn’t need a yearly re-up or anything, just when your card expires.

        I don’t currently use a VPN but my impression is that nowadays I’d be greeted with captchas everywhere, is that wrong?

          With FreeVPNs, probably, but otherwise it’s not too big of a deal. Once in a while some specific sites will be broken, like archive.is recently would force you into an infinite captcha (which was really annoying because I couldn’t read many archive links posted here). Some big sites that are targets for various attacks will use a captcha in the login process, but once you do it it goes away.
