Google is cancelling subscription for those who used VPN workarounds for cheaper YouTube Premium
YouTube Premium Subscription is priced at different rates in different countries to better accommodate the purchasing power of the local currency and align with consumer expectations.
For example, in the US it costs 14$ per month while in India its 1.5$ per month

Thus, some users have used VPNs to buy YouTube Premium at cheaper rates, but it appears that Google is cracking down on such subscriptions and canceling them.

Several YouTube Premium subscribers have had their Premium membership randomly canceled.
However, the common thread between these cancelations is that the users used a VPN workaround to subscribe to Premium at a cheaper rate than what is available for their home market.

Redditors who have contacted customer service mention that their cancelation is because the user “moved” to a different location than the one they signed up from.

Google might have accidentally published docs about how Search works

The material appears to have been committed to a publicly accessible Google-owned repository on GitHub around March 13 by their own automated tooling.

The leaked documentation describes an old version of Google's Content Warehouse API and provides a glimpse of Google Search’s inner workings. There are over 2,500 pages in total. While this data shows what factors Google Search might take into consideration when ordering Search results, it does not reveal what the importance/”weight” of each factor is to the final ranking.

The SEO consultants believe the documents contain noteworthy details because they differ from public statements made by Google representatives.
