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.
