So is it YouTube family or YouTube household?

Either way, probably need to setup site to site VPN and route YouTube traffic through a central location, if you can block geolocation.

I just got a notification that Amazon Prime is doing the same with grandafathered accounts allowed across households.

Ill immediately cancel and goto pure piracy if they do this to me. I'm getting so tired of this shit 🥲

do it anyway. don't give money to google.

Easier said than done. My parents are the main reason I haven't, it's just easier to pay monthly than it is to fix their mistakes when they fuck up the things I try to setup.

So nice of them. They help me cut the strings to the last google service I was not quite committed to drop

People buy a pile of rotting shit and then wonder why it stinks.

GTK. I think they flagged my account since I share it with my spouse and some of my basic features disappeared recently like mini-player in the browser. I might need to unsubscribe and just rely on Firefox with an ad blocker. Nebula and Patreon are good alternatives as well.

Run a personal VPN server at the home address and have external users route through it. I'd think it'd work for any subscription service doing this crap. I'm surprised nobody has started selling a turnkey self-hosted VPN device that even a non-techie can get running in a few steps - all the end users would need is an app that does split tunneling for the media players.
