apparently because youtube knows where i am i can't access anything past 2022 made by certain authors

once again fuck region locking

region locking is genuinely a ridiculous practice, especially wrt music

i LITERALLY want to give you money by steaming your music, why aren't you allowing me to listen to what you're releasing

@halva isnt that youtube just doing rkn shit

@jeder no

apple music is the same (saying as a former apple music subscriber), while spotify in a different region plays that same music just fine despite me being physically and IP-wise in russia

it's just that i don't want to pay those cunts their ever increasing rent for music

@jeder like

say i want to play im a controversy by ado, a song released in 2024

well i cant because universal music japan disallows streaming services to play music released past 2022 to russian subscribers for some ungodly reason

and youtube considers me a russian subscriber since my account is russian despite the IP drifting across the eu (and apple music too since i was literally just paying them with my russian payment credentials) so they just can’t legally show me that

while spotify is a-ok since im TECHNICALLY a nigerian subscriber (that just happens to teleport to nigeria once every 3 months solely to renew the subscription)
