YouTube is Cracking Down on Premium Family Plan Sharing Outside the Home

[br82186]

YouTube is reminding subscribers with a Family Plan that sharing with users outside of the household is not allowed.

Users with YouTube Premium or YouTube Music accounts who are sharing their accounts with others outside of their home are receiving emails alerting them that their accounts are being paused for 14 days.

Android Police shared the email, which says: “Your YouTube Premium family membership requires all members to be in the same household as the family manager. It appears you may not be in the same household as your family manager, and your membership will be paused in 14 days. Once your access is paused, you will remain in your family group and be able to watch YouTube with ads, but will no longer have YouTube Premium benefits.”

A YouTube Premium account offers unlimited ad-free videos, background viewing to keep playing videos while you’re using other apps, and allows users to download videos to watch offline. With YouTube Premium, you’ll also get uninterrupted access to stream music on the YouTube Music app.

Does Youtube Premium offer any benefits outside of not seeing Adverts (for now)?
I mean I know there's Youtube music, which supposedly is better than Spotify, but I honestly can't (Or in this case, don't know) the benefit of paying for Youtube when you accessing content the same way a non paying person can.

i can't Imagine paying extra money for a premium plan that doesn't give you any additional content people who use the platform for free get.


all that money just so you don't have to skip an ad after 15 seconds
