    I started several years ago with the YouTube Premium family plan. It gave me:

    • YouTube Originals
    • YouTube Music
    • No ads
    • Background playing

    My kids are fine with it. It saves me and them a Spotify subscription. Having YouTube Originals disappear somewhat, lessened the value for me. Once the kids are not under my roof anymore, I’ll have to rethink this subscription plan. But that will be in eight years, or so. In that time so much will change, it’s not even worth thinking about it.

      i agree those are compelling reasons to support the premium plan, however I just wanna be that guy to politely point out:

      • you can find the youtube originals on some of those sites that have everything ever made uploaded, (use a vpn for this one) for free
      • ive got nothing for this one
      • you can install adblockers on PC and android for youtube super easily for free
      • i assume you mean on phones for this one, again super easy to do on android for free
