YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
There are people actually paying for this crap?
I have a hot take. I pretty much exclusively watch YouTube as my form of TV entertainment. On most days, I watch many hours between putting something on to go to sleep or actually watching stuff in the day such as training courses or whatever. Sure, I could easily set up my TVs and devices to work around it, but I think it's actually worth it to just pay for Premium and not have the hassle. I feel I get more than my fair share out of it.
What I'm not ok with YouTube premium :
The price is too high for a subscription. For that price I could get thousands of movies on a competing service like Netflix.
Even if you take YouTube premium they are still farming your data and selling it to third parties.
So even if I watch a ton of YT I refuse to pay to sell my data.
If I pay for YT they have to not track me and not sell my data (at least data coming from YT).
So yeah taking YT is hassle free but is quite the scam if you think about it. Before paying you were the product. After paying you are still the product but on top of that you give them money.
Your second point is specifically the reason I don't pay for Premium. I would actually really like to but unless there is some kind of guarantee they won't be double dipping, I'm not going to.
